History

In 2017, Bob Kaufman left a 20-year career at one of the top 5 banks in the United States to create ConnexPay. Working as Chief Financial Officer in the bank’s Payments Services division, he saw firsthand the needless pain and frustration that travel agencies and other online payment intermediaries experienced.

While the bank offered technology solutions to both accept and make payments, they were completely separate platforms, in separate divisions of the bank, with different contracts and different support teams. Not only that, the bank viewed companies who served as payment intermediaries (like travel agencies, ticket brokers, and online marketplaces) as “high risk” — in the same category as online gambling and online pornography — and charged them higher fees as a result.

Bob knew there had to be a better way to serve these customers. He envisioned a solution built from the ground up to both accept and make payments, plus prevent fraud, all inside a single platform with one contract, one reconciliation, and one support team.

Backed by a few early angel investors, Bob and a small team created the technology that is now ConnexPay. In subsequent years, ConnexPay closed Series A, B, and C funding rounds, raising a total of $145 million to date.

In 2023, ConnexPay earned two distinguished honors. The company earned spot #704 on the Inc 5000 list of fastest-growing companies in America. In addition, ConnexPay was named Travel Innovator of the Year at Phocuswright 2023.

In April 2024, Bob was appointed Chairman of the Board at ConnexPay, and Ben Peters succeeded him as CEO.
