Read full description
CleverCards is a global payments platform connecting and empowering the digital economy for Businesses, Employees, Vendors and Customers—enabling them to control payments to anyone, anywhere, anytime, instantly. The Future of Digital Payments.
CleverCards serves SMEs, Enterprise businesses, and Public Sector organisations that no longer want to waste time and resources designing and developing payments infrastructure and applications from scratch. They simply want to launch best-in-class financial products rapidly and cost-effectively.
Today, 15,000 businesses and 500,000 registered users across 92 countries trust CleverCards to power their payouts. Our platform supports a wide range of industries including financial services, accounting, law, professional services, IT, manufacturing, real estate, construction, utilities, healthcare, insurance, retail, hospitality, education, transport, and food & beverages.
As consumers globally shift from paper and plastic to digital and mobile payments, businesses remain stuck with legacy payment tools like vouchers, cheques, plastic cards and intra-bank transfers—which are slow, costly, and inefficient. CleverCards solves this by being deeply integrated into the global Mastercard network, enabling instant payments with digital-only tokenised Mastercards, accessible to anyone, anywhere.
