We have seen an incredible rise in the number of companies handling customer payments in recent years. As these companies scale, they expand to new markets, add new products, and handle increasing transaction volumes. Whether the payments are business or consumer, online or offline, the scale and complexity of payments continue to soar.
But behind the scenes, there’s a complicated web of back-office teams dealing with disjointed systems that are struggling to make sense of their transactions. As data becomes scattered across payment providers, accounting software, and data warehouses, operations and financial visibility become impossible to manage.
Platforms handling payments have a huge data problem.
We experienced this firsthand during Daniel’s time at Paypal and while Danielle was building financial products at Fundbox. We’ve been the builders and operators stitching together data and patchwork solutions. These systems are costly to maintain, don’t scale with the business, or serve the needs of finance leaders.
Throughout our career in fintech, we’ve seen finance teams running in circles trying to identify unknown customer payments that land in the bank account, reconcile millions of dollars over spreadsheets, and track chargebacks over SQL. Teams spend weeks ping-ponging back and forth over long email threads and offline reports trying to make sense of a single transaction.
These manual operations are time-consuming and susceptible to error. Nobody in the organization has full visibility and each team operates using data sets that do not match.
Companies should be able to work with their payments data in one place and have a real-time view of cash, mitigate risk, and always be audit-ready. With this vision, Nilus was born.
