The story

Founded in 2020 as a SaaS provider of payment card programme management tools (disputes, reconciliation, compliance) for banks and fintechs, PayTic initially operated under the brand 'PayTic Connect'. Following the strategic acquisition of GUPP, the company rebranded its product suite as 'PayTic Intelligent Components' in early 2026, repositioning as an AI-powered back-office execution layer for the full payments stack. This shift moves PayTic from a workflow-automation SaaS to an agentic AI infrastructure layer, targeting banks, processors, and enterprise merchants globally with a notable expansion focus on Africa and the Middle East.
