Meelo joins Finance Connect as Associate Member

Finance Connect is delighted to announce that Meelo has joined our growing member community as a new Associate Member, bringing advanced AI-powered onboarding and fraud prevention expertise to the UK asset and equipment finance sector.

As digital fraud threats become increasingly sophisticated across auto, equipment and asset finance, Meelo is helping financial organisations respond with faster, more intelligent and more secure customer onboarding processes. The company’s SaaS platform combines identity verification (KYC), business verification (KYB) and open banking-based solvency analysis into a single real-time engine, enabling organisations to approve legitimate customers in under two seconds while proactively identifying fraud risks before losses occur.

Founded in France and now operating across eight European countries, Meelo supports some of the continent’s most recognisable names in motor finance, consumer credit and BNPL. The company is now focused on expanding its presence in the UK market, particularly within the auto, equipment and asset finance industries where fraud patterns such as synthetic identities, manipulated documentation and trust-based scams are presenting major operational and financial challenges.

By leveraging AI and real-time data analysis, Meelo enables lenders and finance providers to make quicker onboarding decisions without compromising compliance, risk controls or customer experience. Its technology-driven approach helps organisations improve operational efficiency while strengthening fraud prevention and customer trust.

Commenting on joining Finance Connect, Antoine Flotard, Head of UK&I at Meelo, said: “Joining Finance Connect as an associate member is a natural step in Meelo’s UK journey.

“The auto, equipment and asset finance space is where fraud has become most sophisticated, and where the industry most needs to share intelligence and work together. Finance Connect gives us direct access to that conversation, and we’re proud to be part of it.”

Edward Peck, CEO of Finance Connect, welcomed the announcement, saying: “Meelo is operating in an area that is becoming increasingly important to the future of asset and equipment finance.

“As fraud risks evolve and onboarding expectations continue to accelerate, the industry needs innovative technology partners that can help businesses balance speed, security and customer experience. We are very pleased to welcome Meelo to Finance Connect and look forward to the insight and expertise they will bring to our community.”

Meelo joins Finance Connect at a time when digital transformation, fraud mitigation and intelligent data-driven decision making are moving rapidly up the agenda for lenders and finance providers across the sector. We look forward to working with the Meelo team across our events, research programmes and specialist member communities.
