Looks great, but the terminology is slightly unclear. Is "Balanced Payouts" your product name or company name or both? But your URL is balancedpayments.com? Mig

Balanced Payouts is the name of the product. Balanced is the name of the company. balancedpayments.com is better for SEO than balanced.com. We'll add some more info the site to better call out the different products we offer. Thanks for the feedback!

  You should still be spending the $10 to register the other domain.

    agree, but it's a bit more than $10

      How so? dynadot.com - $9.99. Edit: oh, you were talking about balanced.com. Yeah, I meant balancedpayouts.com. :)

        Ah, I'll look into that.

Hi thematt, Actually, Balanced Payouts is the product that we're showing HN here today. Balanced Payments is the umbrella payment company that arches over Balanced Processing, the credit card processing/ach debit arm, and Balanced Payouts, the ach credit arm. I'm happy to take suggestions on how to clarify that, if that wasn't clear from the homepage.

  Love the ach feature except that we need to receive payments in addition to making them. Our payment sizes are in the 5-7 figure range and checks take too long. Will you have the ability to receive via verified ACH in the future?

    We're testing that functionality out right now. And trust me, we're well aware that this is a highly demanded feature. We've discussed it at length with our community on github: https://github.com/balanced/balanced-api/issues/2 https://github.com/balanced/balanced-api/issues/2

  /me registers balancedpayouts.com (just kidding, but this is why you probably should put all your products under one domain)
