What is Plastiq?
This is a question I was wondering myself 3 months ago when I heard of it for the first time. Plastiq is a service that lets you pay virtually any bill with a credit card. There is a 2.5% flat fee for all transactions, and there are a few payment type restrictions for each various credit card issuers.
The idea is that you can pay a merchant with a credit card, and Plastiq will generate either a check, ACH payment, or wire. Why pay with a credit card? We typically recommend using Plastiq to hit a minimum spend requirement on a new credit card or to earn more points for a specific redemption.
