LiquidTrust recently announced a significant milestone with the completion of a $4m seed funding round.
This funding effort was led by notable investors including the Anthemis Female Innovators Lab Fund, Resolute Ventures, and Motivate Ventures. This financial backing follows their participation in WMNfintech by BMO and 1871, positioning them as a notable player in the FinTech space.
The company has introduced Micro Escrow Pay, a patent-pending instant escrow payment solution tailored specifically for small and midsize businesses (SMBs). This innovative service is designed to embed trust directly into payment flows, thereby mitigating risks of fraud, nonpayment, and counterparty uncertainty. LiquidTrust offers this solution through banking partners as well as directly to SMBs, ensuring a wide range of accessibility.
Explaining the core functionality, LiquidTrust is dedicated to making commercial transactions more secure for SMBs. By integrating escrow services directly into payment processes, the company addresses the common challenges faced by SMBs, such as high costs and complexity associated with traditional payment security methods like letters of credit and traditional escrow.
The newly acquired funds are earmarked for further development of Micro Escrow Pay. LiquidTrust plans to enhance its technology and expand its reach to support more SMBs worldwide, reinforcing the safety and growth potential of businesses in the vast B2B payments market, which drives $14 trillion annually.
Additionally, the company emphasizes its role in transforming the payment landscape for SMBs, which historically face significant barriers due to payment risks. With the introduction of Micro Escrow Pay, LiquidTrust aims to simplify and secure B2B transactions, thereby supporting SMBs in expanding their global business networks without the fear of financial loss.
Founder and CEO of LiquidTrust, Saujin Yi, highlighted the critical need for their services, stating, “SMBs are the backbone of the global economy, driving $14 trillion in B2B payments annually. Yet two-thirds of this volume remains unprotected because existing solutions—like letters of credit or traditional escrow—are too costly or complex for small businesses.” He added, “We’ve built a streamlined, bank-enabled solution that reduces payment risk at the source. With Micro Escrow Pay, SMBs no longer have to choose between trust and growth.”
