Salarly’s Risk Decision Partner, Taktile, Secures $54M Series B—A Testament to Fintech Innovation and Tech-Powered Lending
In fintech, innovation isn’t a luxury—it’s a necessity. That’s why at Salarly, we partner with forward-thinking companies that share our mission to redefine financial services. One of those partners, Taktile, just closed a $54 million Series B funding round, fueling product development and expanding enterprise solutions, which benefits tech-powered lending.
But what does that mean? A Series B funding round is when a company raises money from investors to scale its business after proving its product works.
Taktile’s $54 million investment, led by Balderton Capital with backing from Index Ventures, Tiger Global, Y Combinator, Prosus Ventures, Visionaries Club, and OpenAI board member Larry Summers, is a strong vote of confidence in their ability to revolutionize financial decision-making. With this funding—bringing their total to approximately $79 million—Taktile is set to enhance its risk assessment technology, enabling fintechs like Salarly to deliver faster, smarter, and more transparent lending decisions without the inefficiencies of legacy systems. This investment reinforces that Salarly’s partnership with Taktile fuels meaningful growth, ensuring continuous innovation in responsible lending.
Taktile’s success underscores a critical shift in fintech: legacy decisioning software is no longer enough, and as their CEO, Maik Taro Wehmeyer, puts it:
“[Legacy] software is just hopelessly outdated. We’ve won many pitches because even if we were weaker than a specialized vendor in one case, customers want an end-to-end solution.”
This philosophy aligns with Salarly because, like Taktile, we’re replacing outdated systems with intelligent, seamless financial solutions. By leveraging Taktile’s advanced decisioning platform, we ensure faster, fairer, and more transparent payroll-linked lending decisions—without the inefficiencies of traditional models.

How Responsible Lending Supports Financial Wellness
Unlike predatory lenders that trap borrowers in cycles of debt, responsible lending ensures that individuals receive loans they can realistically repay—without hidden fees or unexpected costs.
Here’s how responsible lending contributes to financial wellness:
✔ Predictable Repayments – Payroll-linked lending aligns repayments with income, reducing the risk of missed payments and financial stress.
✔ Credit Score Improvement – On-time payments contribute to better credit health, opening doors to more financial opportunities.
✔ Avoiding Debt Traps – Transparent lending practices prevent borrowers from falling into high-interest debt cycles.
✔ Financial Confidence – Knowing that a loan is structured responsibly helps borrowers manage their finances more effectively and plan for the future.
By integrating advanced decision-making tools like Taktile, Salarly ensures that borrowers receive fair, flexible, and responsible lending options that support long-term financial stability—not just short-term solutions.
