About Us

At Dyneti, we believe digital payments should be seamless and secure. That’s why we built DyScan, a software library that allows digital merchants to prevent fraud and improve conversion by taking a photo of a credit card.

Dyneti was founded by a fraud prevention expert from Uber, and has raised funding from an exceptional lineup of investors, including Y Combinator. We’ve processed hundreds of millions of credit card scans around the world, and our customers include Fortune 100 companies and some of the fastest growing tech unicorns.

About the company

Dyneti Technologies creates software to secure mobile payments through its DyScan SDK. The SDK plugs into a client’s mobile checkout flow and lets users scan their credit or debit card with their phone camera; the app auto-fills card details while a check confirms the user physically possesses the card, helping reduce fraud from stolen numbers. It supports many card formats, including non-embossed, vertical, or back-printed numbers, and processes card data on-device to meet PCI compliance. Integration is designed to be quick and lightweight, keeping app performance high. Dyneti targets businesses that process mobile payments (including large enterprises) and aims to lower chargebacks by more than 50% while boosting payment conversion by speeding up the checkout. The company funds at roughly $2.3 million and operates from San Francisco, with YC, Array Ventures, NOMO Ventures, and Shasta Ventures among its backers.
