Venmo Processes $1 Billion in January

Venmo Processes $1 Billion in January
By Julie Muhn (@julieschicktanz) Posted on
Categories: Braintree, PayPal, Venmo

VenmoHomepage

If there was ever a question if Venmo has achieved mainstream status, today’s news has the answer: The startup – owned by online payments processing company Braintree, which PayPal purchased for $800 million in 2013 – just exceeded $1 billion in payments processed in the month of January, the highest volume in a single month.

This is more than 2.5x the volume Venmo processed in January 2015 and more than 10x the amount processed in 2014.

Venmo’s short blog-post announcing the news doesn’t comment much on the achievement, other than to say, “We thought this was a pretty big milestone, so we wanted to share it with you.”

GametimeVenmoThe startup’s peer-to-peer payments service is popular among millennials. It enables users to link their debit card to the platform to transfer money for free; paying with a credit card carries a 2.9% fee. PayPal CEO Dan Schulman reports the average user sends money through the app several times weekly.

This week’s announcement comes on the heels of Venmo’s report that it plans to start monetizing its service by opening Braintree’s iOS v4 SDK and Android v2 SDK to U.S. merchants. Payments will be free for end users, and merchants will be charged 2.9% plus $0.30 for each transaction. Food delivery service Munchery and event ticket seller Gametime (pictured right) are piloting the program with a limited number of beta users.

Braintree debuted Venmo Touch at FinovateSpring 2013. More recently, at FinDEVr San Francisco 2015, PayPal’s Justin Woo discussed how developers can increase checkout conversion.

You can catch Braintree’s latest presentation to developers at FinDEVr New York 2016 next month. Register now to save your seat or send your developer.

The Personal Finance Operating System

The Personal Finance Operating System
By Jim Bruene Posted on
Categories: Strategic Planning

os_definition_2

ms-dos2Ever since Microsoft made its vast fortune off the back of MS-DOS, becoming the “operating system for ____” has been a software nirvana. And look what happens when you substitute financial terms for computer terms in the OS definition. It describes a position that fintech companies around the globe aspire to: “the software that controls/manages the flow of money.”

Financial Operating System
noun
1.  Software that manages personal finances, controlling and scheduling spending, managing deposits, transfers in/out, communications and security.
Abbreviation: FinOS

Intuit has captured this spot for small businesses (SMB) in the United States with Quickbooks. But even Intuit has given up trying to be the OS for consumers. Why? It’s too hard to gain trust while also providing enough value to wrest consumers away from their primary bank or credit union.

So guess what, all you bankers and CUsters? You are the de facto operating system for your customers’ finances. Embrace it, but don’t take your good fortune for granted or you may find yourself irrelevant to the next generation of consumers. Like successful tech companies, you need to keep upgrading the system. Here are a few core features missing at most financial institutions:

  1. Complete fraud protection
    >> 100% guarantee against losses
  2. Advocacy
    >> Make it an open network, even if a product recommendation sometimes leads outside your FI
  3. Credit for all
    >> If you can’t make the loan yourself, deliver customers to someone who can
  4. Rational fees
    >> Fees are fine, large PENALTY fees should be avoided
  5. Family connections
    >> Real-time funds-transfer, spending tracking, and so on
  6. Risk management
    >> Insurance for anything I’m worried about
  7. Business intelligence
    >> Help me grow/start/manage my business even if it’s just a hobby

BluePay Acquires Billhighway

BluePay Acquires Billhighway
By David Penn Posted on
Categories: Billhighway, Mergers & Acquisitions

Billhighway_homepage_Feb2016

Billhighway, developer of cloud-based financial management solutions for non-profit and member-based organizations, has been acquired by card processor and gateway provider, BluePay.

John Rante, BluePay CEO, highlighted Billhighway’s “innovative technology, a strong annual growth rate, and incredible customer satisfaction.” Rante said Billhighway’s nonprofit vertical was a “great fit” for BluePay and sees the acquisition as an opportunity to grow BluePay’s integrated merchant base.

Billhighway Chairman and Founder Vince Thomas added that the merger will help “improve the level of products and services” the company provides its member-based association and not-for-profit clients.

Terms of the acquisition were not disclosed.

The announcement comes less than a month after Billhighway was again recognized as one of the “Best and Brightest” companies to work for. Billhighway offers a range of products, from its enterprise-grade financial management platform to its prepaid card (which won the “Head of the Class” PayBefore Award in 2014), to the mobile-fundraising solution the company demoed at FinovateFall 2012.

Last fall, Billhighway earned a spot on Deloittes 2015 Technology Fast 500 for North America for the third year in a row. That summer, the company adopted the SnapApp platform to enable development and publishing of interactive content. In March, Billhighway picked up a Silver Stevie Award for Innovation in Customer Service in the Financial Services Industry category, its second win at the Stevies since 2013.

Founded in 1999, Billhighway is headquartered in Troy, Michigan.

  1. The beginning of March Madness NCAA college basketball tournament

Hau, formerly a TE Connectivity executive, will take the helm on March 14. Hau replaces Tom Hirsch who is retiring after a 21-year career with the company.

Fiserv CEO and president Jeffery Yabuki credited Hau’s experience as a public company CFO at TE Connectivity, and his “strong operational approach to finance.” Before TE Connectivity, Hau was EVP and CFO for Lennox International and, previously had served in a variety of capacities at Honeywell International, including CFO of the company’s Aerospace Business Group.

Hau has a master’s degree in business administration from the USC Marshall School of Business, and a bachelor’s degree from Marquette University.

Recent headlines for Fiserv include the company’s purchase of ACI Worldwide’s Community Financial Services division for $200 million in January, and deployments of the company’s DNA core account processing technology at United Nations Federal Credit Union ($4.3 billion in assets) and Gate City Bank ($1.9 billion in assets). In its most recent Finovate appearance at FinovateFall 2015, Fiserv demoed its technology that enables cash ATM withdrawals by smartphone.

i-exceed Teams Up with Mindtree to Bring Mobile Tech to BFSI Sector

i-exceed Teams Up with Mindtree to Bring Mobile Tech to BFSI Sector
By David Penn Posted on
Categories: i-exceed

i-exceed_homepage_Feb2016

Via a new partnership with Mindtree, Bangalore-based i-exceed technology solutions looks to bring mobility solutions to the BFSI (banking, financial services, insurance) sector.

Quoted in ETCIO.com, i-exceed’s Managing Director Joseph John said the agreement showed the increased traction Appzillon was gaining in the marketplace. “With our long-standing experience in the banking sector, coupled with Appzillon’s technical prowess, Mindtree can enhance their mobility edge in record time,” John said.

iexceed_stage_FA2013

From left: i-exceed’s Kapil Gupta, technology solutions director, and Sudhir Babu, VP of technology, demonstrated Appzillon at FinovateAsia 2013 in Singapore.

A mobile app-development platform, Appzillon has reduced app develop-and-deploy times by as much as 60%. The technology helps developers manage the security and integration challenges of building for enterprise back-end systems, including the ability to deploy predesigned B2B, B2C, and B2E banking apps. The latter is a particular point of emphasis for i-exceed, whose aim is to bring to market faster, via the new partnership, “strategic, prebuilt solutions for the banking industry.”

i-exceed released version 3.1 of its mobile app development platform last summer. Its features include enhanced security via a new user interface along with new style editors and additional default themes. In September, i-exceed announced deployment of its Appzillon Origination System (AOS) at one of the oldest public sector banks in India. This followed the company’s new partnership with Kris FinSoftware to help promote the greater mobility in the Philippines.

Founded in 2011 and headquartered in Bangalore, India, i-exceed demonstrated Appzillon at FinovateAsia 2013.

Join i-exceed as it makes its FinDEVr debut next month in New York City. Our developers conference is 29/30 March and tickets are available now. Visit our FinDEVr New York 2016 page for more information.
