History

ChargeAfter was founded in 2017 by Meidad Sharon, who serves as the company's CEO.[2][3] In 2018, the company won the BBVA Open Talent "Fintech for People" award.[4]

In May 2019, ChargeAfter raised $8 million in a Series A round led by Propel Venture Partners (the venture capital arm of BBVA), with participation from PICO Venture Partners, the Plug and Play accelerator, and Synchrony Financial.[2] In February 2020, Visa Inc. made an investment in ChargeAfter and announced a partnership under which Visa's network of sellers, acquirers, and issuing banks would gain access to ChargeAfter platform.[5]

In June 2020, MUFG Innovation Partners made an investment in ChargeAfter to support the platform's global expansion.[6][7] In October 2021, Lenovo launched ChargeAfter's multi-lender financing platform on its U.S. website.[3]

In March 2022, ChargeAfter raised $44 million in a Series B round led by The Phoenix, an Israeli financial services group, with participation from Citi Ventures (Citigroup), Banco Bradesco, MUFG, and existing investors.[1] The round brought the company's total disclosed funding to $60 million.[8][9]

In 2022, Raymour & Flanigan selected ChargeAfter to power its point-of-sale financing program.[10][11] In August 2023, ChargeAfter expanded its lender network by adding Wells Fargo Retail Services, a division of Wells Fargo Bank, N.A.

In February 2024, Citi Retail Services selected ChargeAfter as the technology provider for its Citi Pay product family, including Citi Pay Credit (a digital-only credit card) and Citi Pay Installment Loan.[12] In March 2024, the United States Patent and Trademark Office granted ChargeAfter a patent covering cross-service transaction facilitation technologies and dynamic transaction interfaces.[13]

In July 2024, HP Inc. selected ChargeAfter's platform to add a consumer financing program on HP.com in the United States.[14] In March 2025, Authority Brands chose ChargeAfter to launch BuyFin, its consumer financing platform.[15] In 2026, ChargeAfter was included in Forbes’ list of America’s Best Startup Employers.[16]

The embedded lending platform is ChargeAfter's main platform for merchants.[17] It provides software that connects a merchant's checkout environment to a network of pre-integrated lenders.[18][19][8]

The lending hub is a white-label platform for banks and financial institutions, publicly launched in March 2024.[20][21][22][23]
