“Can invoice-native payments automation for Australian accounting-software users become the payfac backbone for APAC software platforms under Fiserv?”

It evolved into a payment facilitator serving 2,000+ merchants across Australia and New Zealand, and built Glassbox, a Payfac-as-a-Service offering for software platforms. In April 2025, Fiserv acquired the company to accelerate Clover expansion and embedded payments across APAC.
