Rationale

Balance offers a comprehensive financial infrastructure for B2B commerce, directly aligning with the core concept of a payments platform. It explicitly provides payment processing for various methods (ACH, credit cards, wire transfers), developer APIs for integration, and features for managing invoices and trade credit (which is a form of billing/subscription management in a B2B context). The platform also mentions fraud checks, a merchant dashboard for reporting, and specific solutions for marketplaces (Marketplace OS) which is akin to Stripe Connect. Furthermore, it supports multi-currency and global payment methods, and includes identity verification (KYB). While it doesn't explicitly mention 'subscriptions' in the consumer sense, its 'Digital Trade Credit' and 'B2B BNPL' offerings serve a similar recurring financial management function for businesses.
