Startup Program

At ezPayments, we’re intensely passionate about helping small businesses and startups grow. At our core, we reflect often on how we were once a startup, and the ezPayments Startup Program was created to continue our support of innovators, founders, developers, and small "mom and pop" businesses all over the world 🌎.

This program offers access to a limited version of the ezPayments platform with access to certain products and services depending on the program cohort. Members can utilize curated solutions as a starting point and curate them to further meet specific payout challenges.

The ezPayments Startup Program: A pathway to scale your startup with confidence and compliance. Offering 100 free services each month for a full year, our program is tailored to support startups aiming to strengthen their payout verification processes without upfront costs.

1. $0 to start: Dive into ezPayments's world-class payout solutions with 100 free payouts every month (limited to Startup plan services per cohort).

2. Tailored Support and Education: Benefit from ezPayments support sessions, exclusive educational courses, and global networking opportunities.

3. Exclusive access to the ezPayments Community: Unique programming to help you learn and growth your businesses while also connecting with like minded business owners and operators.

The Startup Program is a self-guided experience. While this program does not offer account-level support, members have found an unparalleled blend of education and help via the ezPayments Community.

All Startup Program members receive an exclusive invite to the ezPayments Community where the primary place of engagement is a special Slack space. While there are many ezPayments experts including product managers, trust & safety experts, and compliance gurus from ezPayments in the Slack community, the most valuable resource members have found is each other. All members are encouraged to compare notes, help each other, and grow the collective knowledge of building digitally safe and fast growing businesses together.

In addition to Slack, the Community includes recurring programming such as onboarding webinars/calls, regular office hours, and invitations to amplify your businesses.
