BancBox, a leading payment services provider, announces today the public launch of BancBox Crowd, the first independent escrow service for equity, debt and revenue share crowdfunding portals. Additionally, the company is announcing partnerships with leading crowdfund investing services 99Funding, SoMoLend, and Localstake.
“The services provided by BancBox crowd have been instrumental in developing a seamless investment platform for our clients”
The BancBox Crowd service is currently the only solution on the market that provides online investment portals with an automated yet independent escrow solution, ushering the cumbersome manual paper escrow process into the current era, while ensuring that portals remain in compliance with FINCEN, FINRA and SEC requirements.
BancBox has nearly a decade of experience developing sophisticated payment solutions for industries operating in complex regulatory frameworks. Their new service, BancBox Crowd, provides a simple and compliant solution for early innovators who are pushing ahead to bring investment opportunities online.
One of BancBox Crowd’s partners at launch is 99Funding, a new securities crowdfunding platform focused on giving individuals the opportunity to invest in new and growing private companies through crowdfunding.
“The services provided by BancBox crowd have been instrumental in developing a seamless investment platform for our clients,” said Jim Dowd, Managing Director of Evisor Inc., which operates the 99Funding platform. “The BancBox team has provided extensive support and their industry experience gives us and our clients security and confidence as we develop this new investment market.”
For an equity crowdfunding platform, collecting payments is just the first step in the payment process. What makes BancBox different from other payment companies is that it allows users to create independent escrow accounts for each project, collect funds from investors, and either safely return or disburse those funds when the deal closes. With a simple but robust set of APIs, BancBox Crowd ensures the safety of funds in the system, lowers costs, and reduces transaction friction for companies.
“We are excited by the potential crowdfunding holds for investors, entrepreneurs and the startup community, and we are proud to be playing a critical role in enabling this industry to blossom,” said Sanj Goyle, CEO of BancBox. “With our deep payments expertise and experience we can help ensure this happens securely and in full compliance with all regulations.”
