At Paystand, we’re not just another fintech company—we’re trailblazers in decentralized finance (DeFi), transforming how businesses manage their finances. With thriving hubs in Santa Cruz, San Francisco, Austin, Minneapolis, Mexico City, Hermosillo, and Guadalajara, we’re leading a global revolution in financial systems. Recognized on the Inc. 5000 list for five consecutive years, we’re among the fastest-growing companies reshaping the future of finance.

Our Expanding Ecosystem:
Paystand isn’t just a company—it’s a growing global network. With the strategic acquisitions of Teampay, a leader in spend management, and Yaydoo, a top AR and AP platform in Latin America, we’re building an expansive ecosystem designed to revolutionize financial operations and fuel business growth worldwide.

By harnessing the power of blockchain technology, we digitize receivables, automate financial processes, reduce time-to-cash, lower transaction costs, and unlock new revenue streams for businesses.

We’re driven by a mission to revolutionize digital payments and decentralize finance, creating a more open, inclusive, and transparent financial ecosystem, starting with B2B payments.

As change-makers in the DeFi movement, we don’t just follow trends—we set them. If you’re passionate about shaping the future of fintech and eager to redefine what financial technology should look like, Paystand is the place where you can make a significant impact.

Paystand is on a mission to rebuild the financial system — making business payments open, fair, and decentralized.

As one of the fastest-growing B2B fintech innovators, we’re transforming how money moves between businesses by replacing outdated, fee-based systems with a blockchain-enabled, cashless network that rewards efficiency and transparency.

Following the acquisitions of Teampay and Yaydoo, Paystand is integrating into one global fintech platform — connecting North America and Latin America under a unified vision for decentralized finance and commercial payments.

We’re scaling fast and preparing for our next major milestone: IPO readiness and beyond.
