PayNearMe Brings Online Cash Payments to ProfitStars’ EPS Smart Pay Express

By Julie Muhn (@julieschicktanz) Posted on March 20, 2015
Categories: PayNearMe, ProfitStars

Two forces in the payments industry, ProfitStars and PayNearMe announced a partnership today. Through the agreement, merchants using ProfitStars’ Enterprise Payment Solutions (EPS) Smart Pay Express will have access to PayNearMe’s cash payment technology.

Financial institutions using the system will be able to offer their business banking customers an all-in-one payment platform to help businesses accept cash for online purchases from underbanked and cash-preferred customers.

When a customer makes a purchase online using PayNearMe, they receive a code, which they bring to one of 17,000 physical retail locations (such as 7- Eleven). Once the cashier at the store scans the code, the customer pays in cash. After payment, PayNearMe transfers the funds to the merchant, who is notified to ship the item the customer ordered online.

PayNearMe presented at FinDEVr San Francisco in 2014. ProfitStars last demonstrated its Budget Manager at FinovateSpring 2012.

Finovate Alums Fill Ranks of KPMG’s Fintech Innovators for 2014

Draw up a list of the top fintech innovators of 2014. Got it? Now tell me how many of your top 50 companies are not just impressive companies in their respective fields, but Finovate alums, as well.

If you are global accounting and consulting group, KPMG, then the answer is “more than half.”

Of the 50 companies recognized by KPMG in its 2014 review of top fintech innovators, 27 have demoed their technologies at Finovate conferences. And of that 27, 13 have won Best of Show at least once.

The inaugural “50 Best Fintech Innovators” report is a joint venture between AWI Ventures KPMG Australia and the Financial Services Council (FSC).

The companies chosen were selected based on four factors: total capital raised, rate of capital raising, degree of sub industry disruption, and “degree of product, service, customer experience and business model innovation.”

Writing in an introduction to the report, AWI Limited CEO Ben Heap explained why fundraising played such a prominent part of the selection process.

“These assessment criteria reflect the fact that venture capital invested is a relevant measure of innovation which in turn fuels enduring competitive advantage,” he wrote.

“Venture capitalists seek this enduring competitive advantage over and above everything else.”

Here’s a breakdown of Finovate alums in the list, in order of appearance, along with links to their most recent demo video. Boldface indicates Best of Show winner.
