Founders & story · from Aeropay’s own dossier

Founded in 2017 as a bank-to-bank ACH payment platform focused on regulated industries where card networks would not operate — primarily cannabis retail and online gaming. Built proprietary bank connectivity (Aerosync) to replace reliance on third-party aggregators like Plaid, launching it publicly in 2024 alongside a $20M Series B. Now positioning as America's pay-by-bank network, pitching itself as an alternative to Visa/Mastercard rails for any industry, with expansion targets in financial services, wellness, utilities, QSR, and property management.
