Pipe & Priority: Pioneering a new frontier in business funding

Priority is a leading payments and banking solutions provider that helps businesses take and make payments and monetize payment networks.

They’re on a mission to simplify how businesses handle their finances. They also recognize how critical capital access is to the health and survival of small businesses. “We call it unified commerce, where payments, banking, and payables are all connected on a single platform. A big part of that is giving businesses access to capital when they need it,” said Thomas Priore, Chairman and CEO of Priority.

To make that quick, flexible capital access a reality, they launched Priority Capital, powered by Pipe. After a successful pilot test, Priority implemented a full embedded UI integration within 7 days to power Priority Capital inside their payments ecosystem. This integration offers Priority businesses a straightforward, user-friendly path to obtaining the capital they need to grow, without the hassle of credit checks, high rates, or opaque terms.

“Our mission is to change how any size company manages their money, and offering our customers access to funding through Pipe is a seamless and powerful extension of that mission that will change how they conduct business. I am excited to work with Pipe to unlock growth for every entrepreneur who wants to build a great business," said Priore.

Simplified capital access: how it works

For businesses that use Priority, accessing capital has never been simpler. Pipe’s streamlined process allows merchants to get pre-approved based on their Priority transaction data, enabling them to request and receive funding in just a few steps directly through the MX™ Merchant dashboard. This approach not only democratizes access to capital but also aligns payment with the merchant's sales cycles, providing a truly flexible funding solution.

Priority businesses can now benefit from:

• Friendly Capital: We offer competitive costs of capital, presenting an attractive alternative to other higher-rate funding options.

• Same Business Day Funding: Qualifying businesses can receive funds within hours after approval, subject to their bank's deposit hold policies.

• Flexible Payments: Payments are a percentage of revenue, ensuring they adjust to the business's sales cycles.

• Transparent Pricing: One straightforward fee, paid over time, with no hidden costs, interest, or requirement for personal collateral.
