PayWithMyBank allows you to pay or get paid easily by connecting to your online banking account without leaving the merchant’s site or app. Using our secure portal, you simply log in to your online banking with the bank login information you know by heart. The merchant never sees your login info, and there is no account to create, no card, bank numbers or billing info to provide, and no new password to remember. Your bank verifies your identity, and provides the same security you trust daily for online banking. Our VerifiedACHTM platform confirms your bank account standing, eliminating the risk of non-sufficient funds and associated bank fees, or failed payments due to bank account number keying errors. PayWithMyBank is immediately available to anyone with a US bank account. Online merchants save on payment fees, nonprofits put more donation dollars to their cause, and insurance companies and other paper check issuers move disbursements online.

Founded in 2012, PayWithMyBank is located in Silicon Valley, California. Our Chairman is the former President of American Express’ Consumer Card Group.
