About

WePay, Inc. is a technology company that specializes in providing white-label payment solutions for platforms and payment facilitators, streamlining transaction processing and enhancing revenue opportunities for its partners. WePay, Inc. is headquartered in Redwood City, US and was founded in 2008 by Davood Rangani and Reeti Raswant.


The company focuses on integrated payment solutions and was acquired by JPMorgan Chase in October 2017 for USD 220 mn, marking a significant pivot in its operational strategy. WePay, a Chase Company, offers a comprehensive suite of white-label payment solutions tailored for platforms and payment facilitators. Their primary offerings include integrated payment processing, customizable APIs, and a Merchant Center that allows merchants to efficiently manage onboarding, transactions, reporting, chargebacks, and user access. WePay's solutions cater to a diverse client base, from referral partners to larger payment facilitators, supporting various payment methods and use cases across multiple markets, primarily in North America, with potential expansion into European markets.


WePay generates revenue through its payment processing services structured around partnerships with merchants and payment facilitators. Partners can monetize payments by integrating WePay's solutions into their platforms, with transaction fees applicable per payment processed. While specific pricing plans are not disclosed, typical structures include flexible payouts and same-day deposits without additional costs to partners. WePay also manages the risk and compliance landscape for merchants, encompassing KYC processes and PCI compliance, thereby mitigating costs related to fraud and chargebacks.


Following its acquisition in October 2017, WePay is focused on leveraging its resources to enhance its product offerings and explore new market opportunities. Future plans include the development of upcoming products aimed at refining payment processing capabilities. Additionally, the company is considering expansion into European markets as it seeks to broaden its geographic reach. The funding received from JPMorgan Chase will support these initiatives, positioning WePay for strategic growth within the evolving payment landscape.
