The story
Founded in 2006 as a B2B payments platform in India focused on digitising supply chain payments using commercial credit cards. Evolved into a full-stack supply chain finance platform offering payments automation, procure-to-pay integration, invoice discounting, and a credit engine. Expanded geographically into the UAE (paymate.ae) and Australia (global.paymate.com), operating in over seven countries. The embedded finance angle is central to the UAE proposition — offering white-labelled B2B payment and commercial card capabilities to platforms via APIs.
