The story

Founded in 2014 in Australia as a consumer digital gift card platform, Prezzee expanded into B2B corporate gifting and a white-label marketplace API. The company has since scaled to seven countries across North America, UK, ANZ, and Europe. In late 2025, Prezzee launched PrezzeePay — a subsidiary holding an Australian Financial Services licence — signalling a deliberate shift from pure gifting platform toward regulated financial infrastructure for retailers.
