San Francisco based provider of payments infrastructure, helping companies manage and monetize payments by becoming their own payment processors, raised $17.5m of Series A funding led by Bain Capital Ventures, Visa and Insight Venture Partners.
Finix targets customers that process at least $50 million in annual transactions, a point when it might start to make economic sense to move away from Stripe, Square or PayPal. The fintech giants charge merchants from 2.75% to 2.9% of each transaction, plus other fees. Finix makes money through a monthly licensing fee and other surcharges, like an onboarding fee.
