Notable Quote:
“SMBs are the backbone of the global economy, driving $14 trillion in B2B payments annually. Yet two-thirds of this volume remains unprotected. With Micro Escrow Pay, SMBs no longer have to choose between trust and growth. Trust risk isn’t just a financial problem—it’s a growth killer. By making escrow as smooth as credit card payments, we empower SMBs to expand their supplier and customer networks globally and reduce fear of nonpayment or fraud.”
Why This Matters:
Small and midsize businesses (SMBs) drive trillions in B2B payments annually, yet lack the security that large corporations enjoy. Traditional escrow and letters of credit are too expensive and complex for SMBs, exposing them to fraud, nonpayment, and financial uncertainty. Micro Escrow Pay changes the game—it embeds security directly into payments, giving SMBs confidence to transact globally. Backed by top fintech investors and powered by J.P. Morgan’s embedded finance solutions, LiquidTrust is poised to redefine payment security for SMBs worldwide.
