Key people at Yabie.
Yabie AB is a Swedish fintech company providing scalable, cloud-based POS (point-of-sale) systems and payment solutions for small and medium-sized businesses (SMBs), ranging from local shops to enterprises like IKEA.[1][2][3][4] Its core product, Yabie Express, is an iPad-based platform integrating POS, card terminals, multiple payment methods (including Swish and Klarna), accounting software, online ordering, and value-added services like the Cliento booking system for services—all delivered via a SaaS subscription model.[1][2][4] Serving thousands of customers in Sweden and Norway, with expansion to nine markets by end-2024/2025 through partnerships like a European retail chain, Yabie simplifies daily operations, boosts efficiency, and supports growth for merchants.[1][2]
The company demonstrates strong momentum, raising SEK 25m in a Q1 2025 rights issue, following prior rounds including SEK 160m Series B in 2022 and SEK 350m bonds in Q2 2025, with total funding over $42m from investors like Swedbank and NFT Ventures.[1][2][3] Revenue stands at around $21m, with 100 employees and rapid market consolidation via innovation.[3]
Founded in 2017 in Stockholm as a startup (formerly Kaching), Yabie emerged to deliver user-friendly, innovative payment solutions that make in-store sales simple and tailored to businesses of all sizes.[4][5] The idea stemmed from addressing the complexity of traditional POS systems, creating a "one-stop-shop" ecosystem for seamless transactions, redemption guarantees, and support—freeing merchants for core activities like customer service or innovation.[4]
Early traction built through its cloud-based, mobile-first platform, attracting clients from local pubs and salons to IKEA.[3][4] Pivotal moments include a 2022 SEK 160m Series B round, board strengthening with tech/fintech experts, and 2024 partnerships: a November strategic alliance for global SaaS ambitions and a July deal with a European retail chain expanding from two to nine markets by FY 2024/2025.[1][2] A recent divestiture of non-core assets further sharpened focus on the Yabie Express platform.[6]
Yabie rides the global shift to cloud-native, mobile POS and fintech democratization, enabling SMBs to compete with enterprises amid digital payment booms (e.g., contactless, BNPL like Klarna).[1][2][3] Timing aligns with post-pandemic retail digitization and Europe's fragmented POS market, where Yabie consolidates via innovation—expanding from Nordic leader to European player across 10+ markets by 2026.[1]
Market forces favor it: rising SMB tech adoption, regulatory pushes for open banking, and demand for integrated SaaS over legacy systems.[2][4] Yabie influences the ecosystem by partnering with giants like IKEA, accelerating merchant tech stacks, and funding growth to challenge incumbents, fostering a more accessible retail tech landscape.[1][3]
Yabie is poised for European dominance in SMB POS, leveraging 2025 capital raises (e.g., SEK 25m rights issue) and partnerships to hit 10+ markets, with SEK 207m public offer signaling IPO potential.[1] Trends like AI-driven retail analytics, embedded finance, and Web3 payments will shape it, amplifying Yabie Express's modularity.
Expect accelerated growth via organic expansion and acquisitions, evolving from Nordic consolidator to global SaaS contender—transforming how SMBs "simplify everyday lives," as its mission promises.[1][4]
