Today, I’m excited to share the next step in our journey: Orum will be joining Stripe.
In 2019, I founded Orum with a clear mission: to solve the time-to-money problem in the U.S.
The financial system remains deeply exclusionary. On average, it takes four-plus days for money to move from one financial institution to another. In today’s environment of inflation, high interest rates, and broader macroeconomic uncertainty, slow money movement is particularly crippling for businesses.
I’m the daughter of an immigrant father, who was a small business owner. I grew up working alongside him and experienced the time-to-money problem up close.
Over the past six years, our incredible team at Orum has built innovative solutions that transform payment technology for businesses – revolutionizing payment speed, certainty, and orchestration. Businesses and consumers should not have to think about how their money moves from point A to point B – they should just know that it will happen with speed and certainty.
After thoughtful consideration, it became clear that we have a rare opportunity to accelerate Orum’s mission and greatly increase our impact by becoming part of Stripe, which processed more than $1.4 trillion in total payment volume in 2024 — the equivalent of 1.3% of global GDP.
Alongside Stripe's world-class team, we will continue our shared mission to power a better financial system where everyone has the freedom to build to their own potential.
I’m deeply grateful to everyone who has been part of this journey so far – our customers, our financial partners, our board members, our investors, and our extraordinary team.
There’s so much more to come. I hope you’ll stay tuned as we begin this exciting new chapter — and continue to make money move.
