Our take
Whilst payment processing fees may not be considerable for consumers purchasing low value items, they can quickly stack up for businesses making significant purchases. Paystand provides businesses with a straightforward way of paying other companies without any transaction fees. Aiming to revolutionize commercial banking for the digital age, the company considers itself a pioneer of PaaS (payments as a service).
Similar to instant payment providers such as Venmo, which offer individuals a way to pay one another instantly, the service charges businesses a monthly fee for access to a system powered by blockchain technology. It's estimated that the B2B payment industry is worth more than $125 trillion and is yet untapped from a digital transformation perspective. The company has attracted enterprise-level customers across healthcare, insurance, hospitality, and the energy sectors.
In a shrewd move, Paystand has brokered a partnership with online accounting service Sage, allowing business customers to access its payment solutions from within their existing systems. The service uptake has been strong, especially for businesses operating internationally and looking to save on banking costs. Exemplifying this in 2023, Paystand was listed on the Deloitte Technology Fast 500 List of fast-growing US companies.
