Wannme, a Madrid-headquartered fintech specialising in payments and liquidity infrastructure, has closed a €7M strategic funding round led by IDC Arena Credit Ventures—the venture arm of IDC Network—alongside Arena Investors.
The capital injection will fuel Wannme's expansion of daily payment advances for marketplace sellers, circumventing the typical 14-plus-day settlement delays imposed by most platforms. Rather than waiting for marketplace payouts, sellers can now access their earnings on a daily basis.
This partnership marks an important milestone for Wannme as we scale our impact in the marketplace ecosystem in Europe.
Jaime de Villa, founder and CEO of Wannme
IDC Arena Credit Ventures understood our business model and structured a financing solution aligned with our growth strategy. This credit facility allows us to empower more sellers with the liquidity needed to sell more and grow.

Wannme's platform fills a gap in the European market by providing an agile capital solution for marketplace sellers. We are proud to support their vision with flexible, zero-loss equity financing.

Streamlining cash flow for online sellers
Established in 2017, Wannme builds payment and liquidity tools tailored to e-commerce operations. The platform tackles inefficiencies in payment workflows that plague marketplace vendors.
The typical marketplace settlement cycle extends beyond 14 days, leaving sellers starved for working capital. Wannme bridges this gap by advancing up to 90 per cent of daily net sales, enabling merchants to reinvest capital and scale faster.
The platform operates as a digital payment gateway accepting multiple payment methods—including subscriptions and automated charges—while reducing administrative overhead around financial operations.
Wannme's vision centres on becoming Europe's premier payments infrastructure by raising transaction approval rates and unlocking seller liquidity. The technology is engineered to support cross-border growth across the continent.
