Owned by Payment Logic, Yak Pay only collects 1% on transactions and allows small businesses to complete bulk payments in a single transaction.
For Yak Pay, Visa has provided product design as well as market strategy planning. It is also helping Yak Pay to team up with other partners across the payments network.
Visa head of merchant and sales and acquiring Dan Parsons told The Sydney Morning Herald that the company is focusing on working with more local fintechs, including offering investment.
“At a high level, we’re always interested in investment and partnerships that help us expand the Visa capability,” Parsons told the publication.
