The story

PayAlly was founded in 2017 as a UK EMI focused on international business payments and multi-currency accounts. It has since expanded into expense cards (Mastercard) and positions itself as an integrated financial services ecosystem for SMBs with global ambitions, supporting 39 currencies and SWIFT/SEPA/CHAPS/BACS/Faster Payments rails.
