About Balance
Balance is the easiest way for B2B marketplaces, merchants, and service providers to process payments online. We raised our last funding round from Lightspeed, Stripe, and Max Levchin to build 'Stripe for B2B'. Balance offers the first business checkout, enabling business customers to pay How they want (check, card, bank) and When they want (net terms, payment plans, invoice payments). this is achieved while the seller receives the funds instantly and easily like card payment.
