Strengthening working capital, ensuring fair payment terms for local partners, and accelerating technology investments.
Amsterdam, February 20th, 2025 – Transferz, a global leader in pre-booked ground transportation, today announces a new financing facility from ABN AMRO. The partnership underscores Transferz’s commitment to sustainable, long-term growth and will further its goal of providing fair payment terms to local transport providers—measured in days rather than weeks.
Building on strong momentum, Transferz sees this new financing facility as a key accelerator of its “Fare = Fair” principle. In a market often hindered by unsustainable pricing and aggregator-driven models, the partnership with ABN AMRO ensures sustainable payment terms for local drivers while accelerating investments in machine learning and technology—ultimately enhancing service quality for travelers.
“The future of pre-booked ground transportation will be defined by those who prioritize quality, fairness, and technological advancement,” said Maarten Vrijhof, CFO at Transferz. “With ABN AMRO’s backing, we’re solidifying our position to pay local drivers promptly, give our data and tech teams a boost, and look to further expand our market reach.”
Sustainable Growth Over Short-Term Gains
Rather than chasing volume at the expense of quality, Transferz focuses on building a resilient network of local transfer companies. The new funding will reinforce Transferz’s commitment to fostering stable cash flow for these local ground transportation partners, enabling them to invest in fleet upgrades, driver training, and higher service standards—all essential for a sustainable ecosystem.
The Role of Technology
Transferz believes that smart finance, combined with smart technology, creates a smarter industry—one free from fragmented networks, opaque pricing, and cash flow struggles. By leveraging big data, Transferz optimizes supply and demand, ensuring a seamless, high-quality traveler experience while keeping environmental impact in mind.
ABN AMRO supports fast growing digital companies
“At ABN AMRO, we are committed to driving the digital transition by supporting both established enterprises and dynamic, fast-growing companies,” states Jean Paul Roelofs, Corporate Lender at ABN AMRO. “Our recent financing of Transferz underscores this commitment. We aim to empower scalable companies, particularly those in the realms of digital platforms, SaaS, and AI, as they approach profitability. Transferz stands out with its highly scalable business model and strong potential to lead the global market.

As Transferz embarks on its promising growth journey, it embodies our brand promise, ‘For every beginning,’ and we are excited to be part of their success story.
A New Standard for Industry Leadership
