Our take
Orum is changing the game when it comes to banking transactions, offering a platform that speeds up the process dramatically. Traditionally, payments made through the Automated Clearing House (ACH) network can take up to five days to process, leaving both consumers and banks frustrated by the delays. Orum's solution is simple yet powerful - accelerating these transactions and bringing a new level of efficiency to the financial world.
One of Orum’s standout services, Foresight, uses AI to predict whether funds are available in an account before transactions are authorized, effectively eliminating the wait time. The second service, Momentum, takes things a step further by selecting the optimal route for each transaction based on cost and speed. Whether it's ACH, credit card networks, real-time payment systems, or eventually blockchain-based networks, Momentum ensures that payments happen as quickly and affordably as possible.
Since its launch in 2019, Orum has made impressive strides, reducing the processing time for 85% of transfers for likes like SoFi and First Horizon to just one day. Backed by funding from heavyweights like Accel and Bain Capital, Orum is poised to continue shaking up the payment industry and redefine how transactions are made.
