Payments on Fire™Episode 247 - From the Vault: Multiplayer Fintech Builds a Winning B2B Service – Robin Gandhi, TripActions (Episode 146)It's September 2024, and this month, we're focusing on business-to-business payments. B2B payments are difficult because so much information must be exchanged for them to process efficiently. But there's more to it than that. B2B payments are many things to many people - for finance teams, they are "payables"; for gig economy companies, they are "payouts"; for providers, like insurance companies, they are "claims payments." The list goes on - and within each of these sub-categories, there are niggling nuances that are requirements for making these payments streamlined and affordable. For today's episode, we...

(30:05) 出張支援・経費精算サービスTripActionsが驚きの評価額$12BでIPOを申請
# 今回取り上げたトピックと参考資料
・ アメリカのP2P決済Zelleで詐欺が頻発
米国の大手7銀行によって運営されており、有名P2P送金サービスであるVenmoやCash appをTPV（総決済額）で圧倒しているZelleですが、ローンチ以来、詐欺被害が頻発し、その責任の所在を巡って大きな議論を呼んでいます。
この議論を加速させたのは米上院議員でCFPBの創立にも関わったエリザベス・ウォーレン氏で、運営銀行に情報提供を求めたり、それに基づいて詐欺被害の実態についてレポートを公開するなど積極的な動きを見せています。
今回はそんなZelleのサービス内容や詐欺手法、責任を明確化する難しさなどを、日本の類似サービスである「ことら」とも併せて話しました。

・ 出張支援・経費精算サービスTripActionsが驚きの評価額$12BでIPOを申請
BusinessInsiderによると、2015年創業の米ユニコーンTripActionsが評価額$12BでIPOを申請したようです。
同社は出張に関連した予約や経費などの管理を効率化するソフトウェアを提供しており、a16zやGreennoaksなどから投資を受けるなど大きな存在感を持っている企業です。
コロナ禍では出張需要が激減し、一時は文字通り売上がゼロになりましたが、それ以降は経費精算ソフトウェアと法人カードに注力したことで大きな復活を遂げ、コロナ前に$4Bだった評価額を下げることなく2021年10月に評価額7.2Bで資金調達を完了。そして今回の$12Bという巨大IPOに繋がったようです。
この市況における$12Bという評価額はBill.comに匹敵する規模ですが、その背景には何があるのでしょうか。同社の事業と変遷と併せて議論しました。

Inspired with Alexa von TobelHow to Adapt Your Plans with Ariel Cohen of TripActionsIn 2015, Ariel co-founded TripActions to transform business travel. In the classic Blockbuster vs. Netflix analogy, TripActions set out to be the latter—replacing travel agents and complex expense reports with a best-in-class digital experience. The company's tremendous growth came to a screeching halt in 2020, when Covid stopped business travel altogether. But TripActions adapted and came back even stronger, now boasting over 9,000 customers and a valuation north of $7B.
