The story

Founded in 2018 in Israel as a corporate payment and spend management platform, Mesh Payments relocated its HQ to New York and expanded rapidly through 2021-2022 on the wave of SMB/mid-market spend automation demand. The platform evolved from a basic corporate card tool into an intelligent Travel & Expense orchestration layer for global enterprises, adding AI-driven auto-coding, policy enforcement, and month-end close automation. International expansion via Nium (Australia) and Adyen (Europe/UK) reflects a deliberate shift from US-centric SMB spend management to a global enterprise T&E platform competing with TripActions/Navan and SAP Concur.
