Guys, a typo on your "overview" page: ... and 2.9% = 30¢ when you successfully .... This should be 2.9% + 30¢ I believe.

Whoops. Thanks for that! Fixed.

Great! Love the product btw, I really think it solves a clear pain point. One feature request: give the option to send checks (through the API preferably) vs. an ACH. An ACH is not always feasible.

Thanks! We've definitely explored this option. Part of being an open company is that we publicly discuss our roadmap, I'd love it if you just +1'ed via our github tracker so you can get updated about our progress in that direction.

If we have enough interest on this feature, we'll reopen the issue and track its progress publicly:

I don't know what it is about YC payment companies, but they are all awesome. Would you believe me if I said that these guys are nicer and friendlier than Stripe?

Congrats guys! We're definitely looking forward to moving to Balanced.

As a dev and a user, I love that these guys are creating a better payments platform. Here's to the all the marketplaces that before Balanced were just twinkles in their founders' eyes.
