Funding
~$85M through a $50M Series C in July 2021 led by NewView Capital

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.

User comments

These buyer-oriented points are drawn from Paystand’s site and coverage of its funding and acquisitions.

  • Upside

    “Controllers like cutting card fees on large invoices by moving customers to bank payments.”

  • Upside

    “AR teams value cash application that posts payments straight into the ERP.”

  • Downside

    “Customers who want to keep paying by card may push back, and adoption on the payer side takes effort.”

Where customer reviews couldn't be found, our analysts attempted to give a voice to buyer sentiment, drawing on real information from review sites, forums and product documentation. We omit sites where vendors pay to be featured or pay for a review, plus any review the site flags as incentivized.
