Our Team

Built one of the top cash back consumer products before this and in the end, we worked we banks and credit unions which made me realize that there is a great opportunity to build our own bank for this use case.

$115 billion cash back market is out of reach for 30 million small businesses. We are making it possible by empowering free merchant - customer banking for SMBs.

Consumer-to-business payment market is trillions in the U.S and fastest growing customer engagement trend is cash back using card-linked offers. 

Half of this multi-trillion payment market is consumers paying to small business and it's missing card-linked offers. 

Big brand and retail share is the other half and they already do $115 billion in card-linked cash back offers which drive more revenue and profits. 

Small businesses are left out (priced out) of this whole market!!

Benjamin is changing that..

We empower small business by offering instant and free platform to offer cash back a.k.a card-linked offers for their customers.


Benjamin is revolutionising the merchant rewards industry, and I should know. In a previous life, I built one of the top cash back consumer products, SPENT.  

During my time at SPENT, we had over 1M merchants in our network, over $15M raised from traditional investors and had transacted over $3B in transactions. 

My two biggest findings were that #1 rewards uplift merchant revenues significantly and #2 consumers love cash back - they engage. It's not a surprise industry has grown so fast.

Forget coupons and codes. Just swipe your card - that's how easy this is. 

We worked directly with banks and credit unions which led me to think there was another path. Why not build our own bank for merchants' rewards?
