Lower transaction costs
Keep your brand front-and-center
Create loyal, happy customers
BIM CEO Adam Frisch spoke at the Barclays Emerging Payment Forum in New York, NY on March 15, 2016, alongside other top executives from across the payments industry.
Adam outlined BIM’s comprehensive value proposition to all key stakeholders in the payments ecosystem – merchants, consumers and banks – highlighting how BIM is uniquely bringing ACH to the point of sale, wherever it may be – in store, online, or on the phone.
After weeks of deliberation, and the most exhaustive vetting process in the industry – the judges have spoken! BIM has been selected among the 5 finalists for not one – but two – awards at the PYMNTS Innovation Project 2016, chosen out of over 600 nominations: The NACHA Best in Innovation in ACH Category, and The Most Disruptive Company. We are excited and honored for these recognitions!
BIM CEO Adam Frisch spoke at Money 20/20 in Las Vegas, Nevada, and unveiled new functionality that increases consumer adoption of retailer-branded mobile payments and significantly reduces friction in the customer enrollment process for ACH mobile payments.
Adam, with additional commentary from MCX CEO Brian Mooney, described how innovation in the mobile wallet space to date has yet to substantially disrupt consumer behavior and that a significant percentage of consumers still use cash and debit cards for in store transactions. BIM delivers a mobile/web ACH platform to consumers and merchants that transforms the debit experience, and is an integrated part of the CurrentC mobile wallet that includes loyalty, rewards, and coupons.
Using BIM’s technology, consumers will be able to quickly and securely connect their checking accounts to the CurrentC™ mobile wallet app and make payments at the cash register, table or pump at more than 70 brands nationwide including leaders in the big-box, convenience, pharmacy, fuel, grocery, quick-and full-service dining, specialty-retail and travel categories. When CurrentC™ debuts nationwide, consumers will be able to use the CurrentC™ app on virtually any iOS or Android mobile device to both pay for an item and redeem applicable coupons, promotions and rewards at the same time.
The BIM solution also enables a more streamlined account provisioning process, and incorporates several technologies to reduce the typical 1-3 day enrollment authentication process to less than 60 seconds in many cases. The BIM solution offers fast account verification for more than 90 percent of the checking accounts in the U.S. and more than 3 million customers already exist on the BIM platform due to the company’s existing partnerships. To further protect CurrentC™ consumers, our zero-liability policy protects consumers in the event unauthorized or fraudulent charges are made to their checking account as a result of unauthorized ACH transactions processed through BIM. Consumers will not be responsible for any charge, loss, or out-of-pocket cost related to those unauthorized charges when reported to us as directed. For merchants, the BIM solution is technology agnostic and approved transactions are guaranteed with quick and reliable settlement.
“We are hearing directly from consumers about the importance of having choices when it comes to payment within the app. With BIM’s technology and the ability to pay via a checking account, consumers will soon have several options for paying for goods and services using CurrentC™” said Brian Mooney, MCX CEO. “While consumers want options, they also want security. We chose BIM’s technology for its seamless integration with CurrentC™, security features, and fraud prevention capabilities.”
“CurrentC™ is committed to improving the customer experience through mobile payments,” said Adam Frisch, President and CEO of BIM. “We’re thrilled to support that mission with our technology platform that provides consumers with a safe, convenient and seamless way to pay with their checking accounts at the nation’s leading retailers.”

Watch as former Home Depot CEO, Robert Nardelli, talks about “The next big thing in innovation” – mobile payments with BIM!
Thousands of payments executives gathered together in Orlando Florida for the most prestigious ACH payments event of the year, NACHA Payments 2014.
BIM’s own Adam Frisch was invited to speak at a general session about how mobile payments are being enhanced by those who are leveraging the ACH Network in new ways to benefit both consumers and merchants, as well as the entire payments ecosystem. Seasoned payment exes in attendance learned how new technology is actually making ACH a viable option for Mobile – with BIM, not only can many consumers now enroll in mobile ACH in less than 60 seconds, but for merchants, payment is also guaranteed and settled the next day.
How did we do it? Please contact us for more information.
Despite another winter storm threatening to shut the city down, BIM heads to Atlanta to sponsor and attend the Merchant Advisory Group’s Mid-Year Conference. Given recent data breaches, a major topic of the conference was security. There was much discussion about the security of EMV chip cards vs. magnetic strip cards, and other industry topics.
BIM was happy to lead the discussion (with other industry players) about mobile payments, merchants were particularly interested in reducing transaction fees (by up to 90%) by using ACH.
But what about the security of mobile payments? Security is at the heart of BIM’s technology: Click here to learn more about Security at BIM.
We look forward to the MAG’s annual conference in Ft. Laurderdale in September!
