Our take
Card issuers are always on the hunt for new ways to increase spending on their products and reduces the amount of automated churn. Knot’s solution remedies both these issues through simplified onboarding experiences for consumers. With just a few lines of code, it’s solution allows card issuers to instantly update card-on-file information at most merchants through just a few lines of simple code.
What this means is that businesses can use Knot to automatically switch between saved payment methods, often a manual process for consumers and businesses that slows down interactions. When a consumer changes card, Knot’s technology prevents declined payments, whilst its banking-as-a-service products integrates into existing stacks to manage a business’s payment subscriptions seamlessly.
With 2023’s Series A funding being used to scale the company’s services and accelerate its merchant support, Knot has tapped into a simple but very real headache for businesses and consumers alike. Trusted by the likes of American Express, Plaid and OnePay, Knot is rooting itself as a go-to solution for smoother payments.
