JustiFi review and pricing

Vertical SaaS payments-as-a-service for non-payments software companies.

By JustiFi · Founded 2020 · Minneapolis, MN · private

JustiFi launched 2020 (founder Ty Bullard) and has raised venture funding to build a payments-as-a-service platform purpose-built for vertical SaaS companies that are not in the payments business. The pitch is that vertical SaaS companies (healthcare, fitness, B2B vertical software, services platforms) want to embed payments without becoming a payments company; JustiFi provides processing, sub-merchant onboarding, sponsor-bank relationships, and a managed compliance program. Wins on vertical-SaaS positioning, on a managed compliance program that reduces the burden on the platform, and on competitive PayFac-as-a-service economics for the target buyer. Loses on capital base versus Finix, on brand recognition outside vertical-SaaS payments procurement, and on US-only geographic coverage.
