Curated by Financing Your Way from original reporting by Finextra - Lending. Summary is AI-assisted and editorially reviewed - see its editorial standards. Finix has overhauled its merchant dashboard to streamline how businesses manage their payment operations. For retailers and operators, this means less time digging through complex data and more time focusing on sales. The updated interface centralizes transaction monitoring, dispute management, and settlement tracking into a single view. This is particularly useful for businesses running multi-channel operations across both physical storefronts and e-commerce sites. The new dashboard introduces better filtering tools and more intuitive navigation. You can now quickly identify why a specific payment failed or check the status of a customer refund without needing technical support. For businesses that offer financing or high-ticket items, having real-time visibility into cash flow and settlement cycles is critical. The goal of this update is to reduce the administrative burden on your back-office staff. By simplifying the 'money-in, money-out' process, the platform helps you reconcile books faster and respond to customer payment inquiries with more accuracy. Who else is covering this
Change and Finix simplify corporate giving through embedded payouts. * Payments * 31.07.2026 09:34 am Change, the leading compliance and donation infrastructure platform for charitable fundraising, has partnered with Finix, the full-stack payment processor enabling businesses to accept and send payments online and in-store. Together, the companies have built a seamless, white-labeled payout experience that enables businesses to launch charitable giving programs while securely routing donations to nearly 10,000 nonprofits across the United States. As more businesses look to incorporate charitable giving into the customer experience, many encounter significant legal, compliance and operational hurdles. Change helps businesses navigate this complexity by supporting nonprofit verification, applicable state registrations, donation processing, reporting, and charitable giving compliance through its technology and operational infrastructure. To complete that experience, Change needed payment infrastructure that could operate invisibly behind the scenes. Unlike traditional payout models, many nonprofit recipients have never interacted with Change before receiving funds, making trust just as important as the payment itself. Using Finix's white-labeled payout infrastructure, Change embedded nonprofit bank onboarding directly into its platform and customized statement descriptors to display "Our Change Foundation," helping recipient organizations immediately recognize and trust incoming donations. As Change's payout volume has grown, Finix has continued to scale alongside the business, providing responsive operational support that keeps donations moving during periods of significant transaction growth. "We collaborated closely with the Finix team from day one of onboarding to get things up and running smoothly," said Steven Traversi, Head of Engineering at Change. "Now, we haven't had to touch this code in years. That lack of ongoing developer maintenance is reason enough to switch to Finix. Beyond that, the platform scales with us, the white-label flexibility protects our brand trust and, if we have questions, knowing someone from Finix will respond quickly gives us total peace of mind." Since partnering with Finix, Change has achieved several measurable operational improvements: * Roughly 10,000 nonprofits successfully onboarded and paid through the Finix platform. * Consistent 24-hour bank account verification to accelerate nonprofit onboarding. * Responsive operational support that keeps large donation campaigns moving during significant payout spikes. * Zero Finix-related customer support inquiries from nonprofit users over the past year. * A scalable payments foundation that allows Change's engineering team to focus on building new capabilities instead of maintaining payment infrastructure. "Change is making it easier for businesses to build charitable giving directly into their products," said Richie Serna, CEO and co-founder of Finix. "By providing flexible payments infrastructure that scales with their business, we're helping them focus on expanding access to corporate giving instead of managing payment complexity."
Contractor Plus and Finix partner to modernize payments for field service businesses. Jun. 30, 2026, 09:00 AM SAN FRANCISCO, June 30, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) - Contractor Plus, a leading field service management platform serving more than 57,000 contractors, has partnered with Finix, the full-stack payment processor enabling businesses to accept and send payments online and in-store. Together, the companies have built Contractor Plus Pay, a fully embedded payments experience designed specifically for contractors and field service professionals. By integrating Finix's payments infrastructure directly into its platform, Contractor Plus enables contractors to accept payments, manage billing, and access funds without relying on multiple external systems. The partnership also supports advanced payment capabilities, including recurring billing, progress payments, card fee management, and instant payouts. "We evaluated everyone in the payment processor space, and I wouldn't recommend anyone other than Finix," said Justin Smith, CEO & Founder of Contractor Plus. "Finix is the best backend partner for payments-led, contractor-focused businesses and has moved us ahead several years in our development. Their team goes above and beyond to solve problems in real-time, which is something you just don't get with other processors." The partnership was born out of Contractor Plus' search for a payments provider that could better support the unique needs of contractors and homeowners. Since launching Contractor Plus Pay, the company has transformed payments from a fragmented backend process into a core part of its platform experience. Today, Contractor Plus reports a complete elimination of payment-related complaints from users, while seeing increased merchant willingness to switch from traditional providers in favor of its integrated payments experience. "Partnering with the Contractor Plus team has been a perfect example of why we do what we do," said Richie Serna, CEO and co-founder of Finix. "When you strip away the complexity of payments and give a platform the right tools, they can finally focus on what matters for their business: helping their customers grow and succeed. We're proud to be the engine behind that." Looking ahead, Finix and Contractor Plus plan to continue expanding their partnership with new capabilities, including subcontractor collaboration and contractor-to-contractor payments, helping make the Contractor Plus platform even more essential to the construction ecosystem. About Contractor Plus Contractor Plus is a field service management platform that helps contractors manage projects, customer relationships, payments, and business operations. The company serves more than 57,000 contractors across the field services industry.

Finix, a full-stack payment processor, has partnered with Plaid to integrate bank verification directly into its platform.
