Kanmon
A way for software platforms to offer their business customers loans and lines of credit — without becoming a lender themselves — because Kanmon handles the underwriting, funding, and compliance behind an API.

Description
Software platforms that serve small businesses — practice management tools, supply-chain software, vertical SaaS — often hear the same request from customers: "can you help me get financing?" Actually becoming a lender means taking on credit risk, regulatory licensing, and underwriting infrastructure that has nothing to do with the platform's core product. Kanmon is an embedded lending API that lets a platform offer financing (term loans, lines of credit, invoice financing, AP financing) to its users while Kanmon itself assumes the credit risk and handles KYC/KYB/AML compliance.
Its pitch is speed: API integration in under 10 minutes, underwriting decisions fast enough to fund loans within 24 hours, and soft credit pulls that don't ding the borrower's credit score just for checking eligibility. It's aimed at B2B software platforms in sectors like professional services, healthcare, and supply chain that want to add financing as a feature rather than a separate business line. It's a US-only lending product (California DFPI licensed), and like most lending infrastructure there's no public pricing — terms are negotiated directly.
💬 Our review
The short version: Kanmon is a focused, credible embedded-lending option for platforms that want to offer financing without becoming a licensed lender — its clearest advantage is speed of integration and funding, and its clearest limitation is that it's US-only.
Compared to a competitor like Parafin, which serves a similar embedded-financing role for platforms like DoorDash and Amazon, Kanmon's differentiator is its emphasis on fast underwriting and soft credit pulls that protect the borrower's credit score during the eligibility check — a detail that matters for platforms selling to small businesses that are credit-sensitive. The lack of public pricing and interest rates is standard for lending infrastructure but still means you can't compare cost without a direct sales conversation, and the US-only restriction rules it out immediately for international platforms. For a US-focused B2B software platform ready to add embedded financing as a feature, Kanmon is worth evaluating alongside Parafin; for anything international, it isn't currently an option.
