The online checkout startup Fast received a $20 million Series A funding round led by Stripe.
The funding is intended to accelerate the global rollout of Fast Checkout, a universal system for one-click purchasing.
The program eliminates the need for individual passwords at checkout and works on browsers and mobile devices.
“We need to dramatically improve the e-commerce checkout experience, which has remained stagnant for 30 years,” stated Fast CEO and co-founder Domm Holland. “We have an even greater commitment to fulfilling our mission of making buying online fast, easy and safe for everyone.”
