Fueling Business Growth With Next Day Funding, A Conversation with Dimitri Akhrin of BAMS
Introduction
For growing businesses, access to business capital and cash flow timing can make or break momentum. Whether it is funding expansion, covering operational expenses, or reinvesting in growth, speed matters. BAMS has become a leader in next day funding, helping merchants access their revenue faster and operate with greater financial flexibility.
In this interview with Byzfunder, Dimitri Akhrin, President of BAMS, discusses how next day funding plays a critical role in business success, and how both organizations share a mission of empowering merchants through faster access to capital and smarter financial tools.
Q1: Dimitri, Byzfunder focuses on providing fast access to business funding. How does next day funding from BAMS complement that mission?
Dimitri Akhrin: There is a strong alignment between what we do and what Byzfunder does. At BAMS, our focus is on helping merchants access the money they have already earned as quickly as possible. With next day funding, businesses do not have to wait multiple days to receive their deposits, which improves liquidity and reduces financial pressure.
Byzfunder provides access to capital when businesses need an additional boost, while BAMS ensures that their day to day revenue is available quickly and consistently. Together, those two things create a much stronger financial foundation for growth.
Q2: Why is next day funding such an important feature for merchants today?
Dimitri Akhrin: Speed has become a competitive advantage. Businesses operate in real time, inventory moves quickly, advertising campaigns require immediate reinvestment, and expenses do not wait. When a merchant has access to next day funding, they are able to keep pace with their business instead of falling behind it.
Without next day funding, there is often a gap between when a sale happens and when the funds are available. That delay can create unnecessary strain. By shortening that timeline, merchants gain control over their cash flow and can make decisions with confidence.
Q3: How does next day funding impact a merchant’s ability to grow and scale?
Dimitri Akhrin: It has a direct impact on growth. When businesses receive funds quickly, they can reinvest immediately into the areas that drive revenue. That might be purchasing inventory, increasing ad spend, hiring staff, or expanding operations.
We often see merchants accelerate their growth simply because they are no longer constrained by delayed deposits. Next day funding allows them to operate proactively instead of reactively. It removes friction from the financial side of the business and lets them focus on scaling.
Q4: How does BAMS ensure that next day funding is reliable and accessible for merchants?
Dimitri Akhrin: Reliability is key. Offering next day funding is not just about speed, it is about consistency and transparency. At BAMS, we have built our systems to support predictable funding timelines so merchants know when to expect their deposits.
We also provide visibility into funding through our reporting tools, so merchants can track their transactions and deposits in real time. Education is another important piece. We help merchants understand how batching, processing times, and transaction types affect funding, so there are no surprises.
That combination of speed, reliability, and clarity is what makes next day funding truly valuable.
Q5: Looking ahead, how do you see the role of next day funding evolving alongside companies like Byzfunder?
Dimitri Akhrin: I believe next day funding will continue to become the standard rather than the exception. As businesses become more accustomed to real time operations, they will expect faster access to their money.
What is exciting is how next day funding works alongside companies like Byzfunder. When businesses have both fast access to their daily revenue and the ability to secure additional funding when needed, they are in a much stronger position to grow.
Ultimately, both BAMS and Byzfunder are focused on the same goal, helping businesses succeed by improving access to capital and removing financial bottlenecks. Next day funding is a critical piece of that puzzle.
Closing
Thank you, Dimitri, for sharing how next day funding is transforming the way businesses manage cash flow and growth. With BAMS leading the way in fast, reliable payment deposits, and Byzfunder providing flexible funding solutions, merchants now have more tools than ever to access capital, scale their operations, and move forward with confidence.
