BIRMINGHAM, Ala. — Dash Solutions, a leader in payments enablement with the largest U.S. footprint in clinical trial payments, announced the launch of dashClinical, its enhanced digital payment platform for clinical trial participants. The new solution delivers secure, real-time payments to trial participants worldwide while strengthening the company’s support capabilities through expanded technology and senior leadership.
“With dashClinical, we’re delivering the digital capabilities, global reach and dedicated support that today’s increasingly complex trials demand,” said Stephen Faust, Chief Executive Officer of Dash Solutions.
Clinical trials have become increasingly global in scope, creating new challenges in participant recruitment and retention. While financial incentives are proven to improve engagement, traditional manual payment methods can slow processes and limit participation. dashClinical addresses these issues by offering reloadable digital and physical payment options through an integrated, user-friendly platform that provides instant access to funds and real-time management through a companion app.
Building on nearly a decade of success with its original clinical trial payment system, dashClinical introduces new digital features such as automatic alerts and SpendIT SendIT technology, which enables participants to spend or transfer funds to their preferred accounts. The platform also integrates seamlessly with clinical trial management systems (CTMS) and electronic data capture (EDC) tools, ensuring compliant and secure transactions that meet HIPAA, SOC 2, and financial-grade standards.
To support the platform’s growth, Dash Solutions has expanded its dedicated clinical trials team, adding new hires across implementation and customer support, including the appointment of Bethany Buscher as Senior Vice President of Disbursements Client Success. Buscher brings deep expertise in clinical trial payment management and a record of driving client growth.
“Dash Solutions has transformed our participant payment process, helping us achieve a more than 40% increase in trial completion rates in the past year,” said Tony Sciucco, Vice President of Customer Experience at CRIO. “Real-time payments empower sites to manage participant stipends faster and more accurately, freeing staff to focus on study execution.”
With operations now spanning 80 countries, Dash Solutions’ clinical trial business continues to expand globally. The company projects 20 percent growth in its clinical trial division in 2025 and reports an overall 240 percent revenue increase since 2021, reflecting the growing demand for secure, real-time digital payment solutions across healthcare, government, and other regulated sectors.
