Real quotes from Reddit comments that inspired this opportunity

  • none of these payments go through card. Everything is bank transfers or checks
  • Why should your suppliers pay credit card fees so you can get travel points?
  • eating 3% of every transaction due to credit cards can put a not-insignificant dent in their profit
  • Melio like rest of fintech "bill pay" portals or whatever makes their money in ways that always aren't transparent.
  • all Plastique does is mainly shift merchant account fees from vendor to payee.
