PayPie, which is developing a blockchain-based accounting platform complete with cryptocurrency tokens, has launched in beta with a QuickBooks Online integration. The platform’s initial credit assessment and financial analytics insights are live now and available to small and midsized enterprises (SMEs) using QBO as their primary accounting solution in the United States, Canada, the United Kingdom, Australia and India.
The company's initial coin offering completed last October, with $26 million in tokens sold.
PayPie beta allows businesses to connect their QuickBooks Online accounts to the platform, accessing an automated financial analysis of the business's accounts. The platform’s credit risk algorithm evaluates multiple data points based on the company’s financial history and uses blockchain technology to assign each business a unique PayPie credit score. SMEs also receive a complete set of analytics of their financial performance followed by custom insights on how to improve their finances. The software's algorithm is based on blockchain triple-entry accounting to keep the risk score accurate and fraud-proof.
