GrailPay raises $6.7 million in seed funding to develop risk infrastructure for the $86 trillion ACH payment market, aiming to address fraud, credit risk, and operational challenges in bank payments.
The company offers a modern intelligence platform for ACH payments, providing predictive analytics and real-time signals across account enrollment, transaction monitoring, and merchant underwriting.
GrailPay's tools are modular, allowing businesses to integrate intelligence-driven risk management without changing their payment processors.
Investors in the $6.7 million seed round included Construct Capital, Commerce Ventures, Broadhaven Ventures, Soma Capital, and experienced fintech operators and angels.
GrailPay targets payment platforms, fintechs, lenders, and software vendors operating in the ACH payment space, which moved $86 trillion last year alone.
The company generates revenue through a combination of SaaS and usage-based pricing for its intelligence tools and payments stack.
GrailPay plans to focus on product expansion and market growth in the next six months, aiming to enhance account validation, monitoring, and underwriting capabilities.
The funding process was relationship-driven, emphasizing the urgency of modernizing ACH infrastructure to investors understanding the complexity and importance of the market.
GrailPay differentiates itself by offering real-time risk signals and predictive intelligence specific to ACH payments, with an emphasis on automating risk decisions and reducing payment failures.
The company's core focus on critical infrastructure tools aimed at revenue impact, fraud reduction, and operational automation positions it well for potential economic slowdowns.
