Payload, a “rapidly growing” Fintech start-up, announced that it will be taking its powerful, integration-first inbound and outbound payment capabilities to the next level through a new relationship with JP Morgan (NYSE:JPM).
J.P Morgan has supported Payload’s new payment facilitator status, which Payload “will utilize to deliver an innovative, unified and API-driven fintech platform.”
Payload’s flexible payment platform aims “to tackle the more complex payment workflows of industries like real estate, insurance and legal payments, among other verticals, that the traditional Fintech industry has struggled to support.”
Payload will now be “among a small community of Fintech’s offering ACH, Card Network, and Real Time Payments (RTP) through a unified API platform.”
Ryan Rybolt, CEO, Payload, said:
“This new solution, powered by J.P. Morgan, will unlock our ability to deliver disruptive payment capabilities to the real estate industry and other industries that suffer from rigid and manual payment workflows. Many industries haven’t benefited from the payment digitization era because of numerous constraints that we aim to overcome with our new platform and capabilities. We believe having access to J.P. Morgan’s industry expertise and analytics will help inform our expansion strategy.”
James Carlin, Managing Director, Midwest – Technology & Disruptive Commerce, J.P. Morgan Commercial Banking, remarked:
“We are delighted to have been selected as Payload’s banking provider as they leverage our innovative payments solutions to unlock more advanced capabilities, while creating a more seamless experience for their customers. As the payments ecosystem evolves, J.P. Morgan is committed to harnessing innovative technologies to deliver industry-leading solutions for companies of all sizes and every stage of growth.”
As noted in the update, Payload is a financial technology platform that “automates the flow of incoming and outgoing payments across numerous industries.”
Payload uses an API architecture to “integrate into key business platforms, streamlining historically manual payments using ACH, Real Time Payments (RTP) and the major Card Networks.”
In 2020 Payload launched an initiative “to digitize traditionally manual Earnest Money Deposits (EMD) for real estate transactions.” Since then, Payload has “expanded to encompass all real estate transactions including agent invoicing and closing disbursements.”
In less than two years, Payload has “integrated with several real estate operating platforms, leading to wide adoption by real estate and title companies throughout the US and Canada.”
Payload’s payment technology was “created to enhance security, save time and money.”
