The story

Pocketbook, Inc. is an Atlanta-based fintech platform offering white-label embedded financial solutions focused on commercial payments for SMBs. The company initially positioned itself as an alternative to legacy payment methods — particularly card-based processing — by offering ACH-first digital wallets and branded payment flows. In 2023, Pocketbook partnered with Bond (the embedded finance platform later absorbed into FIS) to enable end-to-end branded banking and digital wallet infrastructure for its SMB clients. The current product suite centers on invoice-to-reconciliation ACH payment flows for verticals including real estate and industrial operations.
