Episode 42 | Eleni Steinman from Loop on Crypto Autopay (subscriptions, payroll)

The autopay function is prevalent in TradFi - think about all instances where payments are automated, like your subscriptions , loan repayment, salaries, utilities payment, credit card repayment.

Having to manually approve such recurring payments would be a headache for you. 

Today in the web3 space, projects having a subscription pricing model have a tough time automating these recurring payments if they want to be paid in crypto.

That’s because payments in crypto right now are push payments. 

One company who wants to enable automatic recurring crypto payments, without locking up funds is Loop. 

With Loop, you can embed a simple payment link on your application which allows your customers to pay their recurring subscriptions - with no code required. 

On Episode 42, I spoke with Loop’s CEO & Co-Founder Eleni Steinman
