“This year illustrated that doing business ‘the old way’ is no longer economically viable. In fact, it’s a recipe for going out of business,” said Jeremy Almond, CEO and co-founder of Paystand. “Growing 1007% in today’s economy shows that businesses need a better way to manage payments and cash. Paystand gives businesses a faster way to transact, without the costly fees and extra steps. Our zero-fee payment network replaces the outdated, fee-based model and we’re excited that businesses are reaping the benefits when they need it most.”

Paystand Named to Top 10 of Inc. 5000 Fastest Growing Private Companies in Silicon Valley

With 1007% growth, Paystand ranked in the top 10 of all Silicon Valley companies featured in the 2020 Inc 5000 list. Companies that made the list, on average, grew 600% over the same three-year period. During a stretch when the economy grew just 15%, Paystand achieved record growth by enabling businesses to transact more efficiently and more cost-effectively.

“Every person we hire at Paystand knows this is about more than payment processing,” said Aliyah Nance, Paystand’s VP of People. “Rebuilding $125 trillion worth of broken finance infrastructure requires top talent. Being named on the Inc. 5000 makes it crystal clear that we’re designing the breakthrough technology and experiences our customers and the industry need. And yes, we’re hiring.”

Over the past 12 months, Paystand’s payment network has surged as businesses look for better ways to transact in the digital-first economy. Driven by a flat-rate, Payments-as-a-Service business model that creates a predictable cost structure for Accounts Receivable and delivers significant ROI for B2B customers, Paystand saw record growth across all areas of its business and payment ecosystem.

  • Business: Paystand accelerated customer acquisition with more than 150 new enterprise customers, fueling 2.5X YoY revenue growth and more than 200% increase in monthly network payment volume.
  • Product: Paystand released industry-leading AR automation capabilities for NetSuite, Xero, and Magento, as well as Collections Automation to make invoicing, payments, and reconciliation a seamless, intuitive process through the Paystand dashboard or any ERP.
  • Talent: Paystand also added 10 strategic hires across both its Scotts Valley and Guadalajara, Mexico offices to further fuel this growth, including new VP of Customer Success, David Rhein, an industry veteran from Apptus and Tradeshift.
