Modern Treasury Raises $38M to Enable Faster, More Efficient B2B Payments
Company passes $1 billion in reconciled payments as organizations modernize cumbersome finance processes
The funding occurs amid explosive growth for Modern Treasury’s payment operations and treasury management solutions, which enable companies to instantly close books with Continuous Accounting, manage payments and banking through a single platform, and have complete cash visibility.
Annually more than $18.5 trillion of business-to-business payments are transacted in the U.S. via wires, checks, and ACH payments, with almost half of those still made via check. Payments take 1 to 3 days to clear and finance teams spend hours tracking them from initiation to approvals to accounting to reporting.
Modern Treasury automates each step of the process. Its software replaces decades-old legacy systems. It makes it easy for growing companies to connect with banks over API. And, it enables rapidly growing Real-Time Payments, or RTP.
“Modern Treasury is at the forefront of modernizing B2B payments, a huge fast-growing and largely untapped market,” said Ram Woo, Partner at Altimeter Capital. “The core infrastructure of business payments has been stagnant for decades leaving businesses to cobble together an unwieldy patchwork of manual processes and point solutions. Modern Treasury empowers CFOs, finance teams, and developers to make effective, automated, real-time decisions to manage the lifeblood of every business — money movement.”
In 2020, customers reconciled $1 billion using its platform and reconciliation volume on the Modern Treasury platform grew an average of 23% per month throughout the year. Reconciliation is an accounting process comparing records to make sure that figures are correct.
