The story

Founded in 1996 as Swift Prepaid Solutions, the company evolved through the daVinci Payments brand before rebranding as Onbe in 2021. Its core mission shifted from generic prepaid services toward a full-stack B2I (business-to-individual) disbursement platform, enabling corporate clients to outsource consumer and workforce payment operations entirely. The embedded finance angle is the positioning of Onbe as an outsourced payments operating system for program sponsors, handling card issuance, FX, fraud, and multi-rail delivery at scale.
