Fintech.ca covered Alternative Payments’ strategic expansion into Canada from the perspective of a New York fintech establishing its first international footprint “north of the border,” contextualizing the move within the company’s recent $22 million funding round led by MissionOG and Third Prime. The Canadian fintech publication traced Baxter’s entrepreneurial journey from launching Alternative Payments in 2021 to digitize and automate B2B payment workflows, to his current vision of “building the first truly global alternative payments network.” The coverage emphasized how the April funding round enabled Alternative Payments to “scale our impact, expand globally, and continue building the infrastructure that will define the future of seamless, secure payments for underserved industries.”
The Fintech.ca piece highlighted the market opportunity that Baxter identified, noting that “the market currently lacks sophisticated solutions to automate payments and support companies operating on both sides of the border.” The publication detailed the establishment of offices in Toronto and Vancouver with dedicated local teams for partner engagement and customer support, positioning the expansion as a natural evolution for a company focused on modernizing payments, merchant services, and client financing for IT service providers, MSPs, and blue-collar industries. The Canadian fintech outlet emphasized how Alternative Payments delivers a streamlined alternative to legacy providers while helping businesses get paid faster and improve cash flow, setting the stage for the company’s broader global expansion strategy.
