BandPay Receives $2 mil Investment to Launch Creator-Oriented Payment Platform

10 March 2020 - Press release

 

BandPay, the payment platform designed to help creative collaborators come to and stick to agreements, is announcing $2 mil investment in its iOS and Android app launch. 

"We're honored to receive this investment from an angel investor, who sees the potential and value of BandPay and our related platform PAYMNT," says BandPay co-founder and co-CEO Gleb Teper. "This is a crucial investment at an important time for our company." 

BandPay will use this investment to build its user base, starting with artists, producers, and other music professionals, as well as to continue building out features to serve them. At launch, BandPay will already offer creatives a broad set of customizable tools to let them establish agreements that lock payment to agreed-upon milestones. As these milestones are met, guaranteed funds are paid out. The platform is designed to eliminate the potential for misunderstanding, scope bloat, and fraud, while empowering artists to reduce costs and losses for creative projects.

"We see so much potential to relieve the stress artists and managers face constantly," notes BandPay co-founder, co-CEO, and music business veteran DeCarlos Garrison. "Financial tools make a huge difference for artists, who often have really narrow margins and limited resources to pull off ambitious projects. We're hoping to remove one layer of uncertainty and distrust from their work and let them do more of what they really love doing."
