What Paystand sells

Zero-fee blockchain payments for businesses that bill and pay

When a business has to collect money from its customers or pay its own bills, there are invoices to send and payments to chase. The problem is, the current system takes a cut of every payment and calls it the cost of doing business. Paystand runs a blockchain payments network with zero fees, so businesses get paid faster and keep more of every dollar.

The Braun Read

Ask hard questions

Too much is left unsaid. Make them answer before you invest.

Pay
OTE is listed. Ask what the base is.
Transparency
Says nothing about quota, attainment, deal size, territory or sales cycle.
Pipeline
Doesn't say where pipeline comes from. Ask.
Time on market
Open 60 days. Ask why it's been hard to fill.
Company hiring
Ramping up: posted 6 sales roles in the last 30 days.

Green lights

  • Publishes OTE. It tells you the on-target earnings up front. Most postings don't.

Based only on what the posting says. Lights are a starting point for your first call, not a final judgment.

Questions to ask on the first call

Built from what this posting leaves out. How they answer tells you as much as what they say.

  1. 1.

    What percentage of fully ramped reps hit quota last year?

    OTE is what you could earn. This is how likely you are to earn it.

  2. 2.

    What's the base, and how is the rest paid out?

    OTE without a base doesn't tell you what you can count on.

  3. 3.

    What's the annual quota, and how was it set?

    A quota built from real data is a target. Otherwise it's a hope.

  4. 4.

    Where does pipeline come from: inbound, SDRs, or me?

    Tells you how much of your week is prospecting versus selling.

  5. 5.

    How long is ramp, and what's the quota during it?

    Full quota on day one means you start behind.

  6. 6.

    Why is this role open? Did someone leave, or is it new?

    New headcount is growth. A replacement means someone left. Ask why.

When the offer comes

Save these for later. They land better once they've said yes to you.

  1. 1.

    Can I see the full comp plan in writing, including clawbacks and accelerators?

    What's in writing is what gets paid. Read it before you sign.

  2. 2.

    Can I see the actual comp distribution for the team last year, not just the OTE?

    The spread shows what most reps really take home. OTE is just the target.

  3. 3.

    I'd be walking away from earned commission to join. Is there room for a sign-on bonus to help cover that?

    Leaving money behind is a fair reason to ask. The worst answer is no.

Full posting
Paystand is the world's leading blockchain-enabled B2B payments network, transforming commercial finance into a software-driven, zero-fee, and open ecosystem. Recognized as a CNBC/Statista 2026 World's Top Fintech company, Paystand delivers over a decade of on-chain payments experience to middle and large enterprises. Paystand's network services more than one million payors that have moved $20+ billion in volume. With its acquisitions of Yaydoo, Teampay and Bitwage, Paystand's full-stack platform includes agentic AI, its USDb stablecoin, and AR/AP solutions on one tightly integrated network. Its non-profit arm, Paystand.org, advances the mission to democratize finance through Bitcoin and blockchain technology. What We Do We built the financial system we always thought should exist: zero fees, zero friction, just your money, faster. Blockchain automates receivables and payables, cuts time-to-cash, and turns every transaction into revenue instead of cost. Why We Do It The current system takes a cut from the people who build, create, and grow — and calls it the cost of doing business. We don't buy that. Every fee we eliminate compounds into growth. We're here to decentralize finance and hand the power back to the businesses driving the real economy — extended further through Paystand.org's work to democratize finance through Bitcoin and blockchain. How We Do It We don't wait for permission or for the industry to catch up — we build the future of finance ourselves, on-chain, in the open. Small moves now, monumental results later.
