Company
SlidePay
Banking and Payment Platform APIs
We built SlidePay, an API that lets any app accept in-person credit card payments quickly and easily. Integration takes hours, not weeks, and works on any device or platform. Our product handles the complexity of payment processing in-person, so developers don't have to.
We live in Mountain View, CA, and plan to keep the company here after YC.
Mountain View puts us in the middle of fintech and tech innovation hubs with access to partnerships, engineering talent, and early adopters. It keeps us close to people building payment platforms and financial services.
