Papaya Raises $50 Million in Series B round; Plans to Expand “Bill Understanding Technology”

Many events in our lives are influenced by how committed we are to different elements. As an example here, we can look at how the human inclination towards being consistently innovative has really helped us in pursuing sustainable progression over the years. This, in turn, would introduce us to some really significant milestones along the way. Now, it’s important that we give every milestone its fair share of credit, and yet we cannot help but observe the distance between technology and the rest. The way in which technology has reinvented the wheel talks extensively to a lifestyle that is more efficient and easy-going than we ever expected to experience. We achieved it, of course, by diversifying the creation’s footprint, welcoming it across some really integral aspects of the world. Today, we have reached such a point where we can literally do anything with just a few clicks. If that wasn’t fascinating enough in itself, Papaya’s recent funding does a lot to hint at an even better future.

Papaya, a mobile payment application of Los Angeles origin, has officially raised $50 million from a Series B funding round. While the round led by Bessemer Venture Partners, it also saw close participation from Sequoia Capital, Acrew Capital, 01 Advisors, Mucker Capital, Fika Ventures, F-Prime, and Sound Ventures. According to certain reports, the fresh funding will be used in realizing Papaya’s unique bill understanding technology. Backed up with artificial intelligence, bill understanding technology only asks you to click a picture of the bill, and the remaining process is carried out on its own. The bill can be of anything, including phone bill, utilities bill, medical invoices, parking tickets, and the list goes on.

“The Papaya team and I are driven by our deep desire to build a business that can scale and have a massive, positive impact for the greatest number of people. American families’ greatest source of stress and anxiety is finances. With a user-friendly app, and single photo of a bill, Papaya’s technology eases that pain point, which motivates us all,” said Patrick Kann, co-founder and CEO of Papaya.

As helpful as it looks, making digital payments can become cumbersome at times. Getting the whole process done on lagging web portals and applications also means you run a serious risk of facing extra charges due to delayed payments. With the latest financial boost, Papaya will be hoping to solve that issue, and change the digital payments’ landscape for good.
