Pulse

One partner, full stack: Pulse combines funding lines and embedded lending APIs, so you can launch credit, not build it.

Credit works best when it shows up exactly where a business already is, inside the accounting platform, the marketplace, the app it uses every day. That idea isn't new, but the infrastructure behind it usually is the sticking point. Platforms wanting to offer lending have to stitch together data connections, underwriting rules and capital access from scratch, partner by partner, before a single loan can go live.

Pulse solves the technology side of this problem, bringing lending APIs and decisioning infrastructure together in one connected layer, so platforms can plug in onboarding, underwriting and servicing without building it themselves.

As the funding line behind Pulse's infrastructure, Nucleus brings deep commercial lending expertise and committed capital shaped by years of underwriting real SME risk, so platforms aren't just getting access to funds, they're getting funding structured by people who understand how SMEs actually borrow.

Lending APIs and funding lines work best when they come from the same place. Pulse brings the technology, Nucleus brings the capital, and together they mean embedded lending becomes something a platform can launch and scale quickly, rather than piecing it together deal by deal. It's one system, built to work as a single connected layer from the start.
