Aeropay’s platform seamlessly connects bank accounts using Aerosync, a homegrown bank aggregator that the company also announced today. The platform enables customizable integrations via a full suite of open APIs. The commercial impact for businesses is significant, with industry-high approval rates while minimizing return and fraud risk.
“Payments in most verticals operate on archaic systems filled with excessive fees and risks,” said Aeropay Founder and CEO Daniel Muller. “We’ve built a bank-driven payments network that protects businesses against fraud, saves them money, and gives their customers an easy way to pay. Put simply, we are building the next-generation payments network.”
Aeropay has become a leader in account-to-account (A2A) payment solutions through a “compliance-first” strategy focused on collaborating with banks, partners, and regulatory counterparts. The company experienced early success in highly regulated industries and is now expanding into new markets such as financial services, wellness, utilities, QSR and property management. Additionally, the new funds will be used to develop new product offerings, enhance strategic partnerships and explore greenfield opportunities.
“For years, we’ve searched for a company advanced enough to solve the pains and inefficiencies of the card payment market, arguably the last bastion of the traditional financial services industry,” said Dovi Frances, Founding Partner of Group 11. “Aeropay has tackled the most complex technological and compliance challenges, making them the most likely player to seize upon this massive addressable market.”
