Finance x Media
Today’s $800B media market is financed and paid for like a cottage industry - highly manual, redundant, costly and inefficient. FxM is the solution.
FxM is FinTech for Media, reinventing the financial backbone of the media supply chain with a singular focus on the capital, liquidity, and payment challenges of today’s CMO, CFO and Procurement professionals.
Connecting the advertising ecosystem to new sources of capital and financial innovation, our solutions address long-standing AdTech and media pain points, including sequential liability with long payment terms, complex and multi-party reconciliations, working capital issues, and redundant and costly financings of the same media dollar.
Our solutions are operationally seamless, work within your existing processes and platforms,
and are remarkably easy to execute.

Why FxM?
Digital media has a growing payments and financing problem.
Legacy payment processes are cumbersome, reduce visibility and control on where budgets go, and trigger serious working capital issues for companies across the supply chain. Rising interest rates and ever-extending payment terms (180+ days) are worsening the pain.
With sequential liability and each company in the supply chain managing their working capital needs in isolation, the same media dollar is often financed multiple times, adding up to billions in unnecessary costs ultimately paid for by advertisers.
This is the hidden 'Ad Financing Tax'.
