NEW YORK, NY / ACCESS Newswire / December 23, 2025 / Affiniti, the AI-powered financial platform transforming spend and expense management for small and medium-sized businesses, today announced it has secured growth financing from HSBC Innovation Banking. The financing supports the company's continued expansion as it builds AI-driven financial tools for businesses in America's backbone industries.

Strengthening Financial Foundations for America's Backbone Businesses

Small and medium-sized businesses represent nearly all U.S. companies, employ approximately half of the U.S. workforce, and contribute significantly to the nation's GDP. Despite their economic importance, many of these businesses lack access to modern financial technology tailored to their day-to-day needs.

"America's small and medium-sized businesses are the backbone of our economy, yet they've been underserved by modern financial tools for far too long. Partnering with HSBC allows us to continue giving operators more clarity and control over their finances, enabling them to spend less time managing money and more time building the businesses that power this country," said Aaron Bai, CEO and Co-Founder of Affiniti.
