CHECKBOOK

Digital payment disbursements for insurance and enterprise -- any rail, any recipient, no banking data required.

Claims Technology Growth Series A

Overview

Checkbook is an API-first digital payments platform that enables businesses to disburse payments at scale across every major US payment rail -- ACH, RTP, FedNow, digital checks, paper checks, push-to-card, virtual cards, Zelle, Venmo, PayPal, and wire transfers. Founded in 2015 by PJ Gupta, former Chief Network Architect at Visa, the company was built to solve the fundamental inefficiency of paper checks and the burden of collecting sensitive banking information just to send money. Businesses can initiate payments knowing only the recipient's name and email address.

Checkbook has developed particularly deep capabilities in the insurance vertical, where claims disbursements have historically relied on slow, manual check processes. In January 2025, the company acquired sureti, a digital payment solution purpose-built for insurance claim proceeds, establishing Checkbook as an end-to-end payment solution for the property insurance ecosystem. The sureti platform adds specialized capabilities including multi-party check elimination, geospatial fund release substantiation, and mortgage lender integration.

With over 98,000 merchants on the platform and partnerships with J.P. Morgan and Visa, Checkbook has earned recognition as a leader in B2B digital payments, winning two TSG Real Transaction Metrics Awards in 2025 and a Frost and Sullivan leadership designation in the B2B Digital Payment Systems category.
