Plastiq Inc. is an online payment service that allows users to make payments using credit and debit cards, even when the recipient does not typically accept card payments. Founded in 2009 and headquartered in San Francisco, the company facilitates payments for various expenses, including tuition, taxes, rent, utilities, and insurance, primarily in the United States and Canada. By processing card payments and converting them into formats that recipients can accept, such as electronic bank transfers or checks, Plastiq enables individuals and businesses to manage their finances more flexibly. This service empowers users to earn credit card rewards, take advantage of early-payment discounts, and utilize their cash flow more effectively, making it easier to manage expenses that traditionally required checks. With a growing presence, Plastiq is committed to advancing innovative payment solutions.
