Waivr
Waivr is a fintech company building a specialized debit payment infrastructure designed for account-to-account (A2A) consumer-to-business payments. Headquartered in Los Angeles and founded by Brenna Curran and Carolina Nucamendi, Waivr addresses the high costs and friction of traditional credit card processing, particularly for subscription-based businesses. By leveraging a real-time payments API, the platform allows consumers to checkout using their existing bank credentials; it quickly validates sufficient funds and initiates the transfer, disbursing funds to the merchant in real-time. This not only lowers transaction fees but also significantly reduces “involuntary churn”—the common issue where subscriptions fail due to expired or canceled credit cards.
