Searchfunders! Whether your company or a portfolio business is already using Stripe or another payment processor, or is just getting started with payments, it may be worth exploring your options and comparing costs. I’m an investor in Finix, an alternative that supports online and in-person payments with transparent pricing and the potential for meaningful processing cost savings. Finix has raised over $200 million and is backed by Bain Capital Ventures, Lightspeed Venture Partners, Insight Partners, and Visa, among others. For searchers and operators, the benefits can include: - **Potential cost savings:** Reduce processing expenses and improve margins without needing to generate additional sales. Savings depend on your current pricing, transaction mix, and volume. - **Transparent pricing:** See underlying card network costs separately from Finix’s markup, so you understand what you’re paying. - **Simpler payment operations:** Manage online and in-person payments and reporting in one place. - **Additional revenue opportunities:** For software platforms and marketplaces, integrate payments into your product and earn revenue from transactions. Whether you’re evaluating an acquisition or improving operations post-close, reviewing payment processing can be a practical opportunity to identify savings.
