Charles & Dean collaborates with FXE
19/03/2026
Charles & Dean Finance has announced a strategic collaboration with fintech FXE Technologies to license its Funding Xchange Marketplace, integrating the digital technology into the Charles & Dean business finance offering. The move, says Charles & Dean, “marks a significant step forward in delivering faster, more accessible lending solutions for UK SMEs.”
This partnership combines FXE Technologies’ Assisted Lending technology with Charles & Dean’s specialist brokering expertise. The result combines the speed and ease of digital access to finance with expert guidance and lender insight. Through seamless digital search, comparison and application capabilities, businesses benefit from structured, outcome-driven support across the full spectrum of lending needs, including working capital, asset finance and commercial property finance.
“This collaboration is about unlocking better access to funding for small businesses,” said Tom Perkins, co-founder of Charles & Dean (pictured). “By embedding FXE’s technology into our proposition, we’re giving SMEs the tools to search, compare and apply for finance digitally - but with the added value of support from our specialist finance brokers. It’s a huge step forward in how businesses engage with finance.”
CEO of FXE Technologies Katrin Herrling added, “The Funding Xchange Marketplace was built to support underserved SMEs seeking finance and give them greater control of their funding journey. By delivering digital transformation across the SME lending ecosystem, businesses can access transparent lending options and make informed decisions faster than ever before. When looking for a partner, we needed someone trusted and respected in the market - Charles & Dean is that partner.”
