Money20/20, Dream Payments unveiled DreamPay, a modern API & Embedded Payments Platform. DreamPay enables North America’s leading financial institutions, insurers, healthcare providers, and software platforms to seamlessly integrate payment services directly into their customer experiences, software applications, and business workflows—removing the complexity of building and maintaining payment systems in-house.
“Dream’s mission is to usher in the future of financial services by helping our clients and partners build and monetize payment services,” said Brent Ho-Young, Co-Founder & CEO of Dream Payments. “DreamPay delivers the modern API and payment infrastructure that makes this possible, allowing companies to accept omnichannel payments, send payouts, issue virtual cards, and manage financial operations—all without the burden of building these services from scratch.”
As Angela Strange, General Partner at Andreessen Horowitz, famously stated, “Every company will be a fintech company.” Companies increasingly recognize that offering integrated payment services is key to meeting customer demands, but building the infrastructure internally is complex and costly.
