Simplifying Embedded Payments: Rainforest’s Joshua Silver

Welcome to The Financial Technology Report, a leading information source on financial technology companies and solutions.

In this episode, we speak with Joshua Silver, Founder and CEO of Rainforest, a Payments-as-a-Service provider built for vertical software platforms. Rainforest enables platforms to embed payments directly into their products without taking on risk, compliance, or operational burdens. Its low-code, white-label solution supports card, ACH, and Apple Pay transactions—helping software companies drive payments volume, grow revenue, and maintain full control over their customer relationships.

Before founding Rainforest, Joshua co-founded Patientco, later acquired by Waystar, and advised more than 50 software companies on payments strategy. Drawing on two decades in embedded payments and SaaS, he founded Rainforest to fill a gap in the market for a technically strong, service-oriented, and economically balanced payments solution.
