Assessment
Paystand is used by mid-market and enterprise finance teams that collect large B2B invoices. The company says more than 1M businesses on its network move over $20B, and its best use cases are accounts receivable automation, ERP-integrated payment portals, and zero-fee bank payments. It charges subscription pricing instead of per-transaction card fees, and its main competitors are BILL, Versapay, and Billtrust.
Jeremy Almond co-founded Paystand with Scott Campbell after his family lost its home in the 2008 financial crisis. A $50M Series C led by NewView Capital in July 2021 brought total funding to $85M. In 2024 it bought Teampay, adding its network of 250,000 companies, and in April 2026 it introduced the USDb stablecoin for business payments.
It fits a finance team whose customers still mail checks or pay large invoices by card. It is a weaker fit for a consumer-facing merchant that needs card acceptance at checkout, and for a buyer that wants a pure AP tool.
