GrailPay raised $6.7 million to expand its risk and data platform for bank payments aimed at making ACH payments safer, smarter, and faster.
The funding will be used to grow product and engineering teams, expand go-to-market efforts, and enhance the platform's capabilities.
GrailPay plans to provide fraud tools, risk engines, and analytics for bank payments similar to those developed for credit cards over the years.
The company's tools are utilized by over 10,000 businesses, including payment platforms, lenders, FinTechs, and software vendors.
Businesses leverage GrailPay's tools for predictive analytics and real-time signals to optimize account enrollment, transaction monitoring, and merchant underwriting.
Construct Capital led the funding round, recognizing GrailPay's creation of an intelligent risk layer tailored for bank payments, essential for modern payment companies.
Pay by bank is gaining popularity, with 91% of companies interested in adopting it due to benefits like lower cart abandonment rates, enhanced data security, and consumer ease of use.
GrailPay initially built a bank payment processing platform focusing on ACH before developing a trust layer for bank payments, leveraging their data asset from processing transactions.
