Paystand is dragging the business of taking B2B Payments into the modern day. Why are you paying big percentages every time a customer wants to pay you money, when you could be taking all of the payments you want without any fees at all? And while we're at it, we'll automate all of your A/R processes from invoicing to reconciliation as well to save you time AND money. Some people ask if we're a payment processor, but we're not even playing the same game as the processors.
