Our Story
DigitalPay is a San Francisco-based digital payments provider focused on radically improving the speed, security and convenience of payments to customers and vendors. We were founded as an outgrowth of strategic planning at PayPal and offer the only Enterprise SaaS that streamlines payouts and provides consumers with unprecedented choice in their receipt of money. The result? Happier customers, more efficient payments, and reduced payment processing costs—all with little-to-no IT support needed.
Digital Payments: More Than Just Time and Money Savings
We began with a mission to overhaul inefficient and costly payments, only to realize we have another beneficiary: our environment.
Less than 50% of physical checks are recycled, which translates to tons of wasted paper, plus ink, glue, and chemicals that are not good for mother nature. In addition to eliminating harmful practices, we contribute a percentage of our profits to The Sierra Club Foundation to assist their charter to protect and improve natural and human environments across the globe.
Our Background
DigitalPay’s team of experts and pragmatists all have long careers in payments, transaction processing and enterprise/cloud computing. Our experience extends across a wide range of company sizes, from the Fortune 50 to small startups. We share a common belief that commercial payments are ripe for transformation as cloud solutions can finally deliver digital payouts that move money at Internet speed and enterprise scale.
