Paydiant

Paydiant was a Boston-based mobile-wallet, point-of-sale and cloud payments platform, backed by General Catalyst, that let banks, merchants and retailers build their own white-label mobile-payment and loyalty apps (notably powering the retailer-led MCX "CurrentC" wallet). PayPal acquired Paydiant in 2015 and folded the technology into its in-store and merchant products; Paydiant no longer operates as an independent company. This API Evangelist profile was surfaced as a General Catalyst portfolio lead; an enrichment probe on 2026-07-20 found no live independent API surface — the paydiant.com domain and its api/developer/docs subdomains wildcard-resolve to a PayPal/MarkMonitor brand-protection parking IP (3.33.139.32) and serve no content.

Paydiant is profiled on the APIs.io network. Tagged areas include Company, Payments, Mobile Wallet, Point-of-Sale, and Loyalty.

Regulatory Posture applies to this provider. Its tags matched the Payments regime, so Regulatory Posture carries 15 points of the composite. If this regime is wrong for your business, say so on your provider repo — the applicability map is public and we will correct it.
The six quality facets above are damped to 85 points between them, because the conditional facet above carries the other 15. That is why each facet's contribution is shown against a damped maximum: raising a quality facet moves the composite by 85% of its nominal weight, not 100%. The full arithmetic is at apis.io/rating/.
Improve this rating by publishing the missing artifacts — every area above can be raised, and the full rubric is at apis.io/rating/.
