CAMPBELL, Calif. and NEW YORK, N.Y., October 8, 2025 – Barracuda Networks, Inc., a leading cybersecurity company providing complete protection against complex threats for all size business, and Capchase, the leader in tech-powered vendor financing for B2B software and hardware companies, today announced the launch of Barracuda Financial Services, powered by Capchase. This new financing program offers Barracuda customers flexible payment options for multi-year contracts, while ensuring resellers and distributors receive full payment upfront – accelerating deal velocity and streamlining cash flow.

"Barracuda is known for being easy to buy, deploy and use – and this financing program extends that same simplicity to the way our customers purchase,” said Geoff Waters, Chief Revenue Officer at Barracuda. “We are removing any financial friction from the purchasing process and empowering customers to invest in critical security solutions with greater flexibility, while ensuring our partners benefit from immediate and predictable payment. Capchase brings the innovation, speed, transparency, and seamless experience that our customers, resellers and distributors demand.”

Simplifying Financing Across Complex Channel Ecosystems

Barracuda Financial Services transforms the traditionally complex and fragmented multi-party transaction process into a streamlined and frictionless digital experience. It delivers greater payment flexibility for buyers, accelerated payouts for partners and reduced operational overhead across the board. Customers can spread payments across their preferred schedule with transparent pricing and no hidden fees. Resellers and distributors also benefit from full upfront payment without any changes to their existing quoting or billing workflows.

Barracuda Financial Services integrates effortlessly into existing workflows with no added paperwork or format changes. It embeds digital payment links directly into sales processes, enabling faster deal closure. Pre-qualification and approval processes run seamlessly behind the scenes, allowing sales teams to focus on customer relationships rather than financing logistics.

"Traditional financing solutions were built for a different era," said Miguel Fernandez, Chief Executive Officer and Co-Founder at Capchase. "Barracuda Financial Services exemplifies our vision of true embedded vendor financing – delivering buyer approvals in advance, transparent terms and seamless, branded partner experiences that match the speed of modern sales cycles."

Meeting Growing Market Demand

Security spending is growing at a rapid pace – more than 12% year over year, according to the IDC Semiannual Security Spending Guide – fueled by escalating cyberthreats, increased digitization and the widespread adoption of cloud technologies. As organizations increase investments in security platforms, flexible financing has become a strategic enabler – allowing them to move with speed while distributing costs evenly throughout the contract term.

Barracuda Financial Services is available now through Barracuda's global reseller and distributor network in select markets. Partners can request financing options through their Barracuda representative, with real-time approvals powered by Capchase's automated underwriting platform.
