A secure and simple international money management vision: lean in to the challenger mindset

A secure and simple international money management vision: lean in to the challenger mindset

The standard exchange process was manual and created a lot of opportunity for fraud. We felt there had to be a better way.

We have more ideas than we do time

Jon and Steve, our founders, weren’t afraid to step outside the box; this required redesigning the exchange process from multiple manual steps with multiple people and programs to one program for one person.

  • The Concept

    We started PayRecs to simplify the unnecessarily complicated process of sending an international payment. By delivering our platform through the financial institutions people trust, PayRecs delivers the best of both fintech and traditional banking.

  • A Solution to the Problem

    After spending years advising large companies like Fifth Third Bank and Wells Fargo how to best manage currency risk and move money globally, Jon knew there had to be a better way. Jon’s industry experience provided insights into the challenges customers and their financial institutions face in delivering international payment services.

  • The Approach

    To tackle the outdated processes and legacy systems it took someone from outside the banking system to work with Jon and bring a fresh perspective; Steve, Jon’s college roommate and an experienced tech veteran whose most famous question is “why”, made a natural choice. Together, Jon and Steve have worked within the financial system to streamline the processes and improve the systems necessary to deliver a superior customer experience.

  • The Collaboration

    They’ve worked to form industry partnerships with financial institutions and vendors alike to help create the most impactful platform possible.

  • Moving Forward

    Today PayRecs serves businesses and individuals by partnering with their financial institutions to deliver financial innovation alongside the safety and security of the banks they trust. Our co-founders believe that technology offers us the opportunity to deliver more powerful solutions and when delivered in partnership with financial institutions we can reach a new frontier of usability, transparency and security.
