SnapCheck

SnapCheck empowers businesses with greater efficiency, transparency, and protection in their B2B payments without requiring back office process changes of themselves or their vendors and suppliers. We can save organizations over 65% on their costs and reduce their fraud risk by 90% or more.
Paper checks still dominate B2B transactions (and have even gained market share from 2013-2016), costing businesses $50 Billion in fees and costs, and subjecting them to $20 Billion in fraud losses annually. Now there's a better way!

SnapCheck is currently operating, serving thousands of businesses for their business payments needs. We have over 25,000 users signed up for our platform and are moving upstream to enable more and larger enterprises through our platform integration.

Over the past 5 months, from platform clients, we've seen an increase of 3.8x in transaction count and 8.7x growth in transaction volume.

18 Billion paper checks are written annually in the US, worth over $26 Trillion. Most are generated by businesses, who use checks for 70% of B2B payments. The US market alone represents a TAM of $17 Billion for SnapCheck, with a global TAM of $37 Billion.

B2B payments are trapped in the dark ages (dominated by paper checks) and cost business over $50 Billion in costs and $20 Billin in fraud annually.

SnapCheck’s digital payments platform gives businesses a universally accepted digital payment form that cuts costs by 70% and fraud risk by an additional 90% over any other payment type, while providing greater payment visibility and control than any other payment form today. Through the simple and human-centric user experience of a digital check, coupled with blockchain technology, SnapCheck drives payments infrastructure modernization, blockchain adoption, and payments digitization on a global scale.
The SnapCheck platform has been vetted by Bank of the West and BNP Paribas, and is slated for pilots with major US banks this year.

Competition can be broken down into 3 primary classes. (1) Legacy paper checks, which still dominate B2B payments. SnapCheck’s advantages include: cost, fraud protection, convenience, speed of delivery. (2) Digital check providers (e.g. Checkbook.io, ZipMark). SnapCheck’s advantages include: platform strength and depth, fraud protection, go to market strategy, defensible IP. (3) Electronic payments platforms (e.g. PayPal, ACH). SnapCheck’s advantages include: ubiquitous acceptance, low adoption hurdles, cost savings, minimal behavior changes. SnapCheck also benefits from natural, multi-layered viral and network effects to drive adoption, create lock-in, and fend off competitors.

SnapCheck's advantages stem from the strength of our platform over the competition, which has allowed us to form strong strategic relationships with key players in the banking world including: DXC (owner of the core banking system for the top 40 global banks), Temenos (core banking provider for 800 banks), Q2 (enables payments for 10M end users).

Our platform wins out on simplicity and the power of our fraud protection tools.

Revenue is generated primarily from per transaction fees. Fees are negotiated on an enterprise-by-enterprise basis, with a starting rate at $1 per payment.

Therefore, the primary driver for our finances is the number of transactions sent through the SnapCheck platform.

Over the past 5 months, from enterprise clients, we've seen a 3.8x growth in transaction counts.

Business Model
SnapCheck’s primary revenue will come from per check fees (tiered pricing) charged to check writers. Receivers can pay for value added services such as check validation, funds guarantee, and expedited settlement for 1% of check value.

Go-To-Market
Trust and broad reach are the keys to adoption. SnapCheck gains these by partnering with banks to efficiently enroll and serve accountholders. Bank pipeline: HSBC, Wells Fargo, Bank of the West, BBVA. Payment tech pipeline: Jack Henry, Fiserv, ACI, Temenos. Blockchain pipeline: R3. SnapCheck gains additional reach by working through the complementary tools and services that businesses use to manage their finances, such as Quicken, Xero.

SnapCheck has built a robust pipeline of clients. We are currently resource constrained on moving the pipeline to market faster. Therefore, resources will be spent on customer-enablement from engineering, professional services, client management perspective.

SnapCheck is seeking a small bridge round of $500k to further enhance customer development ahead of a Series A fundraise in 2020.
Terms TBD

Business payments are currently antiquated and ripe for disruption. Therefore, the biggest risk to SnapCheck is the entry of new competitors or the pivoting of incumbents to our space.
