Commerce has out-innovated payments. Ansa is the payments platform to help merchants catch up: increase revenue, retention, and take back control of unit economics. Ansa enables any brand to launch closed-loop wallets for a fraction of the effort and cost. We power payment experiences akin to the Starbucks balance, the Clipper card, Steam Wallet, and Uber Cash. With Ansa, our merchant partners have increased revenue over 25% and seen over 50% higher customer retention. We’re the last piece of the puzzle to drive delightful experiences by combining payments, incentives, and customer insights.

Excited to share one of our newest product features, expiring balances! Expiring promotional balances offer merchants a powerful way to drive urgency for their customers - meaning more engagement at a better cost to the brand. Since launching this feature, we’ve already seen great success in letting our merchants drive urgency for customer spend – increasing the ROI of promo campaigns up to 40% and empowering merchants to recoup unspent promotional funds for future use. This was one of our most requested features - proud of the team for getting it over the line! 💪 Read more here: https://lnkd.in/grsA-87w
At Ansa we talk about how payments should "just work" -- here's what we mean:

There are some terms in payments that mean so many things that it’s borderline infuriating to align what someone is talking about (*ahem* calling all payments fees interchange). “Wallet" is my personal favorite + the core of what we do at Ansa. I wrote a “what to ask when you’re asking” about digital wallets that hopefully helps you find what you’re looking for without a vocabulary comedy of errors. Apple Pay vs Klarna wallet vs Starbucks vs Shop Pay and your cards linked for one-click-checkout with various merchants. Sadly my team cut this Shakespeare quote from the final edit: “What's in a name? That which we call a rose by any other name would smell just as sweet” — surely he meant wallets, right? I don’t care what you refer to a digital wallet as, but I always want to know what you mean! Hope that this blog post helps: https://lnkd.in/gTW-8_tT

We're in an age where commerce is innovating faster than payments can keep up, a huge driving force for our work at Ansa is closing that gap and empowering merchants. Check out my article in Hospitality Technology where I dive into the advantages of newer, adaptable, customer-centric options. Brand-affiliated payment solutions drive both frequency and revenue while fostering loyalty, provide merchants with valuable customer data, and offer significant reductions in transaction costs to increase profitability – the Starbucks' stored value wallet is a prime example of this.

Thrilled to share the results that Compass Coffee has seen with the customer wallet they built on Ansa! By launching embedded balances in their order ahead app they’ve seen a 30% increase in average order frequency and 28% reduction in payments costs. At Ansa, we believe that payments can be a retention tool, not just a headache for fast growing brands. Compass has been a phenomenal partner to design our incentives engine with, I'm excited to share more on that soon! In the meantime you can reach out to me here or our team at hello@getansa.com to get in the loop for how closed loop payments can superpower revenue growth for your brand or platform. https://lnkd.in/gwexfQFv
