Today, we shared our response to the announcement that Exodus has entered into a definitive agreement to acquire W3C Corp, the parent company of Monavate and Baanx Group Ltd. This moment represents far more than a transaction; it’s a meaningful milestone in the story we’ve been building for the last five years. The partnership aligns our infrastructure, expertise, and long-term vision with one of the world’s most trusted self-custodial platforms. We believe this combination will be transformative for Monavate, for our clients, and for the future of global payments. It gives us the scale, reach, and momentum to accelerate everything we’ve been building. We are incredibly proud of the team, grateful to our clients, and excited for the chapter ahead.

Think a virtual card is just a card for your Apple Wallet? Think again. We're breaking down the game-changing level of control that most businesses don't even know is possible. #OnTheCouchInCambridge #Monavate #VirtualCards #SpendControl #FinancialControl #B2BFintech #Innovation Kurt Schröder Barry Thirkell

We practically dragged our CMO and the commercials team onto a couch, hit record, and told them to ditch the jargon. The result is On The Couch in Cambridge, a 5-week series that demystifies virtual cards and the wild world of payments. This is just real people having real chats (and maybe a few awkward laughs). New episodes drop every Monday and Wednesday. The first one is already live. Hit play. You know you want to. #OnTheCouchInCambridge #Monavate #VirtualCards #FintechUnfiltered Kurt Schröder Barry Thirkell

Today we announced our $175 million in new funding! A mix of debt and equity led by KKCG Group, with participation from BNF CAPITAL LIMITED, and an expanded partnership with Deutsche Bank. Equity to fuel new customer growth, product development and ATL brand build to make Zilch a household name in the UK (watch this space 👀) Incremental debt to fund our book with significant efficiency gains allowing for accelerated growth of new credit products, tenures and flexibility for our customers. In just five years, we’ve built something that challenges the foundation of consumer credit. A system that cuts out high-cost middlemen, rewards people for the value they create, and helps brands grow faster and smarter. A big thank you to our partners and investors for the belief in our team, our mission, and the idea that technology can, if done right, completely change peoples lives. We’re not just building another fintech, we’re building the future of credit. The next phase of Zilch starts now - And next week we have more news 🚀 Sean O’Connor Hugh Courtney Desmond McNamara Sean Hederman Boriana Tchobanova Joe Zender Andreas Andreou Ryan M.

Great to catch up with Team Visa today at FTT Fintech. At Monavate we are proud principal member of Visa, issuing across the UK and EEA. #issuing #binsponsor #fintech
Great to attend the FTT Fintech Festival with my colleague Laurence Smith, representing Visa. Lots of thought-provoking conversations, especially around how AI is reshaping finance — from ethics and compliance to driving greater inclusion. Exciting times ahead for the industry! #FTTFestival #Fintech #AIinFinance #Visa #Innovation #FinancialServices

Nice work Fern Glanville! Can't wait to hear all about it :)
B2B Account Executive at Monavate 📞 Supplier Payments, Reimagined: Unlock New Revenue From Every Transaction💸
✈️World Travel Market (WTM) London✈️ Where to start?! Firstly, what a great event. The organisation which has clearly gone into it, is extraordinary. I don’t know about you guys but I’ve never seen the whole of the excel dedicated to one event?! (Please check out this crazy floor plan!) but equally, I am not surprised. The travel industry is enormous, taking all the key players and drawing them together for 3 days of value. I hit just under 20K steps, getting myself around this event! 🚶♀️ What were the highlights? 📈 ✅ The conversations. Everyone was open to discussing payment methods. Why? Because suppliers make this world tick. And, how do you keep those said suppliers happy? Getting them paid not just on time but immediately. Discussing Monavate’s real-time auhthorisation was groundbreaking to most. ✅ The variety. Being newly involved within our travel sector, I learnt A LOT. The OTAs, TMCs and DMCs (nope, not deep meaningful chats) all offered such bespoke needs to their clients; depending on requirements, jurisdiction and partners. And now? A lot of follow ups and grasping new relationships built. Until next year! #WTM2025 #Monavate #supplierpayments #OTAs #TMCs #DMCs #GDSs #TravelTechnology
