Cashberry Signs Up to Join Open Standard

Cashberry is signing up to join Open Standard to explore faster and more efficient ways to move reward value between grocers, shoppers, and partners.

Open Standard is developing Open USD, a shared digital dollar infrastructure built for business money movement. For Cashberry, this creates a path to support faster reward settlement, cleaner reconciliation, and more flexible value distribution across the grocery ecosystem.

“Grocers are under pressure to deliver more value to shoppers while protecting margin,” said Matthew Nicolini, Founder of Cashberry. “By joining Open Standard, Cashberry can explore new infrastructure that helps grocers move funded value faster and give shoppers a more useful savings experience.”

Faster Reward Value for Grocery

Cashberry helps grocers connect verified shopper activity to real rewards. When a shopper makes an eligible grocery purchase, Cashberry can verify the activity and support the movement of value back to the shopper.

With Open Standard, Cashberry can explore a faster settlement layer behind that experience, helping grocers deliver value more efficiently without asking them to build payment infrastructure themselves.

A Better Way to Support Funded Offers

Merchant-funded and partner-funded offers are a powerful way for grocers to bring more value to their shoppers. But these programs can be slow to fund, track, and settle, especially when value moves across multiple partners and systems.

Cashberry is building infrastructure that makes these programs easier to manage. A verified purchase can trigger a reward, a funded offer can be tied to real shopper activity, and a grocer can see how value moves through the program.

Open Standard can help improve the speed and efficiency behind that movement, giving Cashberry another infrastructure option for reward funding, settlement, and reconciliation.

Expanding How Reward Value Moves

Cashberry can build on the reliability of today’s trusted payment infrastructure while exploring Open Standard as an added layer for faster and more efficient value movement. For grocers, this means the familiar rewards and payout experience can become faster, more flexible, and easier to reconcile as the network grows.

Value for grocers

Reward payout speed

Existing payout providers and bank rails already support reliable shopper rewards, with timing that can range from near real time to a few business days depending on provider and payment method.

Open Standard can add a faster settlement layer that supports value movement in seconds or minutes once funds are available in the network.

Grocers can give shoppers faster access to earned value while keeping the experience familiar.

Reward payout cost

Traditional payout rails provide broad reach, consumer familiarity, and established operating processes, though fees can reduce the amount of value distributed on smaller rewards.

Open Standard can help lower the cost of moving reward value, creating more room for value to reach shoppers or be reinvested into programs.

More of the funded value can support shopper savings, campaign performance, and grocer economics.

Funded offer settlement

Merchant-funded and partner-funded offers can already be managed through invoices, payout files, and existing payment processes.

Open Standard can add programmable settlement that helps move funds closer to verified shopper activity.

Grocers can support funded offers with less operational work and clearer settlement timing.

Weekend and holiday movement

Traditional bank rails are trusted and widely used, with timing that often follows standard banking windows.

Open Standard can support value movement outside standard banking hours.

Reward and partner settlement can become more responsive to shopper activity throughout the week.


Built for Grocers

For grocers, Cashberry provides a way to offer modern rewards and shopper savings without becoming a bank, payment company, or rewards infrastructure provider.

Grocers can use Cashberry to support cashback, funded offers, reward distribution, and program reporting. Open Standard adds another infrastructure layer behind the scenes, helping Cashberry support faster and more flexible movement of value across the grocery ecosystem.

For shoppers, the experience remains simple. They can earn value from eligible grocery activity and access that value through a more useful savings experience, without needing to understand the technology that powers it.

Designed to Stay Behind the Scenes

Cashberry is not asking shoppers to think about stablecoins. The technology is intended to stay in the background, supporting faster settlement and more efficient value movement while the shopper experience remains focused on savings.

What matters to the shopper is faster access to value. What matters to the grocer is a more efficient way to fund, track, and deliver that value. Cashberry brings those needs together through infrastructure built for grocery rewards and shopper savings.

Helping Grocers Deliver More Value

Grocery remains one of the most important relationships in a household’s financial life. Shoppers visit frequently, plan around grocery budgets, and look for value in the purchases they make every week.

Cashberry is building technology that helps grocers strengthen that relationship through better rewards, faster value movement, and clearer program visibility.

Signing up to join Open Standard is one step toward helping grocers deliver more value to shoppers while improving how rewards and funded offers move through the grocery ecosystem.
