Amsterdam – Mews, the operating system for hospitality and shared spaces, has announced that its embedded financing partnership with YouLend has provided nearly €2 million in funding to hotels across Europe and the US. With the partnership now live across multiple eligible markets, hotels can access flexible funding directly through the Mews platform. The latest addition of France completes the rollout, extending Flexible Financing to one of Europe’s most dynamic hospitality markets.
Unlike traditional bank loans, Flexible Financing – offered by YouLend – adapts to the rhythms of hospitality. Hotels operate in cycles: peak season fuels growth, while quieter months demand resilience. Yet traditional financing rarely adjusts to that reality: it’s often slow to access, heavy on paperwork, and built around rigid repayment terms that don’t reflect how hospitality works.
Funding from YouLend gives hotels an upfront cash boost that’s repaid automatically through a share of daily card sales, making it easy to align repayments with business performance. Repayments are automatically deducted as a fixed percentage of daily revenue, flexing naturally with a hotel’s performance.
Hospitality runs on momentum, but too often, funding doesn’t. Thanks to our partnership with YouLend, we’re giving hotels a financial safety net in quiet periods and a springboard when opportunity knocks. With €2 million already funded across nine countries, this partnership is helping hoteliers everywhere access the capital they need, just when they need it. Susanne Sandler, SVP and General Manager of Fintech at Mews
Our partnership with Mews is a great example of a truly global, multi-geo collaboration. We’re proud to deliver a best-in-class funding experience to hoteliers across the United States and Europe, a segment of SMBs that continues to express strong demand for working capital to invest and expand their business. Max Shave, Head of Brokers & Intermediaries at YouLend
Eligible Mews Payments customers can apply online in minutes, without the paperwork, collateral, or credit checks associated with traditional loans. Funding decisions are typically made within 24–72 hours, with amounts ranging from €3,000 to €1,000,000 depending on card payment volumes.
Mews’ partnership with YouLend was incredibly valuable to our business. The application process was fast and simple, and in just a few days we received the financing we needed to fuel the growth of our business. All in all, faster than other options, which meant we had more time to dedicate to our guests. Patrick Fidder, owner of Hotel Fidder & Patrick’s Whisky Bar in Zwolle, The Netherlands
Whether it’s upgrading rooms, investing in energy-efficient systems, or bridging a seasonal gap, Flexible Financing helps hoteliers act decisively while keeping cash flow predictable. Repayments automatically align with daily revenue, ensuring that hotels pay less during slower periods and more when business is strong.
