5 Years at Fiserv
Worked as a finance professional at Fiserv, one of the world's largest fintech companies serving 12,000+ financial institutions. Gained insider knowledge of payment infrastructure, identifying inefficiencies that Saflo now eliminates through innovative technology.
The Vision Behind Saflo: Disrupting the Payment Giants
After years of working inside the financial technology industry at Fiserv, Christian Bope witnessed firsthand how payment processors were charging excessive fees while providing subpar service. He saw businesses struggling with 2.9% + $0.30 transaction fees, hidden monthly charges, and slow settlement times that hurt their cash flow.
The breaking point came when he calculated that a small business processing 500 payments annually would pay over $14,500 in fees to leading payment processors - money that could be reinvested in growth, employees, or innovation. Meanwhile, these payment giants were posting billion-dollar profits while merchants struggled.
Drawing from his military intelligence background, Christian understood that security doesn't have to be expensive. His finance expertise revealed that instant settlement is possible through modern networks like FedNow and RTP - yet competitors still hold funds for days.
Saflo was born from a simple but revolutionary idea: What if we built a payment system that prioritized merchants over profits? By leveraging blockchain technology for security, instant settlement networks for speed, and eliminating unnecessary overhead, Saflo delivers enterprise-grade capabilities at 1.5% + $0.05 - saving businesses up to 48% compared to traditional processors.
Today, Saflo processes over $2 billion annually for 50,000+ businesses worldwide, proving that fair pricing, instant settlement, and military-grade security can coexist. We're not just competing with other payment processing organizations - we're making them obsolete.
