Positioning & Working Model

Tagline: All Prepaid. One API.
Mission: Financially empowering people, making financial wellness achievable to all.

finperks is not a gift card reseller or distributor. It is a prepaid orchestration platform. The company connects multiple gift card suppliers via one unified API, giving clients access to 1,000+ brands across 30+ countries through a single technical integration, one contract, and one settlement relationship. Brands reach banks, fintechs, and HR platforms, etc. directly through finperks, skipping fragmented distribution. This unlocks high-value channels and new customer segments for them, without the overhead of managing each partner individually.

Key principles:
One API, One Contract, One Settlement.
Go-live in under 30 days.
White-label only. finperks never competes with its own clients or partners.
Open-book margins. Transparent pricing, no hidden fees.
C-Level access for all partners.

Evidence

Market size & growth

  • Global gift card market is projected to reach $4.2 trillion by 2032, growing at a 13.2% CAGR (Precedence Research, 2026).
  • European digital prepaid share reached 55.6% in 2025, meaning digital has overtaken physical distribution and continues to grow faster, expanding at an 11.02% CAGR (Mordor Intelligence).

Employee benefits market context

  • Roughly 102 million EU employees are eligible for tax-free benefit schemes like Germany's Sachbezug, an underused mechanism most HR platforms don't yet leverage at scale (finperks Market Analysis)

Team credibility

  • Founding team previously built and sold Viafintech (formerly Barzahlen), active in 17 markets across the EU and US, to NYSE-listed Paysafe Group in 2021 for a €3-digit million sum.
  • The same team has delivered 100+ enterprise B2B integrations prior to finperks.

Funding & backing

  • $4M pre-seed round led by Motive Partners (NYC-based) and Seed+Speed Ventures (Germany-based), both specialized fintech and payments investors.

Live use-case: Flizpay — Statement from Co-Founder & CEO Konrad Holtkamp: "We don't have to go to every single brand, negotiate terms, and build the technical integration. We just go to finperks, it's a one stop-shop, and the solution is live."

Direct Brand Distribution (Flixbus and Zalando)

  • Statement from Head of B2B Gift Cards at Zalando, Moritz Zoellner: "What finperks offers is access to new, high-value distribution channels that are typically hard to tap into directly, like banking apps, corporate benefit platforms, or innovative fintech solutions."
  • Statement from Gift Card Manager at Flixbus, Vyara Karpachova: "We are now reaching a new type of users who are typically younger, very digital, and very comfortable with spending online."

Recardy (Berlin) — HR platform, employee benefits and meal allowances use case. Estimated annual volume: 600k EUR.

On top of these, finperks has additional live clients and integrations in progress across banking, fintech, retailers, HR platforms, and direct brand integrations, which will be announced publicly following successful integration.

Reference: Nubank (Brazil) — Gift card integration resulted in a 62% increase in app users and 52% GMV growth, with 250,000+ gift cards sold in one month from 50+ brands.

Reference: Boursobank (France) — "The Corner" cashback program with 140+ merchants, 25M+ EUR in total customer savings, and approximately 8% average rebate rate.

Reference: TWINT (Switzerland) — Digital gift cards became TWINT's fastest-growing use case, generating 120,000 weekly visits and 1 million weekly in-app impressions.

All reference cases are used by finperks to illustrate the category impact of gift card integration, not as contracted finperks client results unless explicitly labeled as such.
