Onboard merchant
Partners can onboard merchants for business funding using our APIs. The process involves creating an application via https://api.banking.netevia.dev/api/loans/loanRequest, enriching the application with bank statements, business owner details, and sales data, and then submitting the lead for decisioning through an external service. Partners receive decision details and funding offers via API, redirect merchants to the external service to select an offer, and finalize the process by electronically signing the finance agreement.
