Uelz is a Spanish fintech offering an API-first billing and payment orchestration platform that lets companies with recurring revenue automate subscriptions, usage-based billing, pay-by-link and one-off collections across multiple payment gateways and methods (card, SEPA, transfers) from a single integration. It targets SaaS, telcos, PSPs, e-learning and agencies, and is a seed-stage company founded by María Luke and Xandra Etxabe: it started in 2018 as their B2B marketplace Fixme (legal entity Fixme Corporate SL) and became Uelz in 2022. Notable facts: overall winner of South Summit Madrid 2023 (first in the Fintech category), backed by Wayra (Telefónica) and Angels Capital, and a Lanzadera-accelerated company.
