Billhop, a Swedish company which enables businesses and individuals to pay their invoices by credit card, has closed a €4 million Series A investment round from fintech venture firm Element Ventures.

Billhop said that the latest investment from Element Ventures will be used for further product development and to strengthen Billhop’s sales, marketing and customer support functions, in order to meet growing demand for working capital financing solutions, now accelerated by the global economic uncertainty brought about by the pandemic.

This is the payment platform that enables businesses, enterprises and individuals to pay any invoice by credit card, regardless of whether the supplier accepts card payments.

Billhop manages the entire payment process without onboarding the end recipient of the invoice payment.

The Swedish firm said that 50,000 European companies, including a growing number of Fortune 500 companies is utilising its platform.
