- Liberis and Elavon expand their partnership to Canada, launching Quick Capital for SMBs
- Over 202,000 Canadian businesses gain fast, flexible funding directly via Elavon’s platform
- Builds on US success, addressing growing demand for accessible, embedded finance solutions
ATLANTA and LONDON (March 31, 2026) – Liberis (Liberis US Inc.), a leading global embedded finance platform, today announced an extended partnership with Elavon, a leading payments provider and subsidiary of U.S. Bank (NYSE: USB), to launch Quick Capital, a seamless funding solution for small businesses across Canada.
Following a successful launch in the U.S. in 2025, this partnership will provide access to capital to more than 202,000 Canadian small to medium sized businesses (SMBs), offering fast, flexible revenue-based financing from Liberis through an easy-to-navigate application that starts within the Elavon merchant portal. With minimal paperwork and rapid disbursement, SMBs can secure the funds they need to support growth, manage cash flow, or invest in key initiatives like inventory, marketing, and expansion.
“Every market we enter tells a similar story – a lack of quick and easy access to funding solutions is holding small businesses back,” said Rob Fairfield, CEO of Liberis. “After launching in the US, extending our Elavon partnership to Canada was the obvious next step. The partnership will help support small businesses, remove barriers and provide proven funding solutions to those businesses that really need it, better positioning them for growth.”
The solution is powered by Liberis with pre-population, enabling Elavon to offer a branded funding experience directly through its merchant platform. SMBs in Canada can benefit from:
- Fast, flexible funding options
- Access to capital for eligible small businesses, leveraging Elavon's merchant data
- Fast application and disbursement with minimal paperwork
- Seamless integration within Elavon's existing merchant portal
- Funding for key business needs including inventory, tax payments, marketing, expansion, and cash flow
The Intuit QuickBooks 2025 Annual Report has reported that 57% of Canadian small businesses are charging more than 25% of their total monthly business expenses to credit cards, highlighting the need for more innovative funding solutions.
Eligible SMBs across sectors including healthcare, retail, services, and restaurants will receive tailored offers via direct email and in-platform messaging to match businesses with the right funding solution.
"Through Quick Capital, we’re providing small business owners with an efficient, straightforward path to funding, and flexible solutions that complement their cash flow patterns - particularly valuable when unexpected opportunities or obstacles arise," said Wally Mlynarski, CEO of Elavon."
Funding will be available now in Canada, with ongoing enhancements planned based on merchant feedback and funding demand. Liberis and Elavon intend to continue developing their partnership with potential new funding products and enhancements to further streamline the funding experience for merchants.
