For issuers, networks and assistant platforms.
Assistants are becoming a place where people pay, and most of them hold one card per person. Backstop puts the best card back in front of every purchase an assistant makes.
Issuers
Win the agent purchase on merit.
Inside assistants, one saved card usually takes every purchase. Backstop sends each agent purchase to the customer's best card for it, so a strong card earns spend it would otherwise lose. We'd like to confirm how your cards treat our charges and talk about routing on agent spend.
Networks
Agent spend, routed across issuers, by the rules.
We are building Backstop as a staged digital wallet for agent purchases, with the merchant's category and name passed through. Our routing data across issuers is evidence for a cross-issuer credential.
Assistant platforms
Works today. Better with a connector.
Backstop already works wherever your users can give you a card. If you open a payment connector, we can hand you a token scoped to one merchant and amount, with the user's limits checked before checkout.
