Visa’s investment builds on its existing relationship with PayMate.

Earlier this year, the two parties collaborated to strengthen B2B payments in the Central and Eastern Europe, Middle East and Africa (CEMEA) region.

PayMate founder and CEO Ajay Adiseshann said: “We are very excited to have Visa come onboard as an investor which will help complement our existing commercial partnership with them and help us scale faster by combining capital with Visa’s network.

“In addition, Recruit holdings from Japan, our existing investor Mayfair101 and Brand Capital’s participation in this round further validates our business model, traction and growth potential.”

Currently, PayMate counts more than 35,000 businesses as clients. The platform processes around $5bn in payments per year.
