Who are CleverCards?

CleverCards is a global payments platform that powers instant payouts for Businesses, Employees, Vendors and Customers—enabling companies to send money to anyone, anywhere, anytime, instantly. It represents the modern evolution of digital payments.

CleverCards supports SMEs, Enterprise businesses and Public Sector organisations long held back by outdated payout processes that drained time and admin effort. They want simple, seamless, instant payout solutions—and CleverCards delivers exactly that.

Today, more than 15,000 businesses and 500,000 registered users across 92 countries rely on CleverCards to run their payouts. The platform is trusted across financial services, accounting, law, professional services, IT, manufacturing, real estate, construction, utilities, healthcare, insurance, retail, hospitality, education, transport and food & beverages.

While consumers everywhere move from paper and plastic to digital and mobile payments, businesses are still burdened by vouchers, cheques, plastic cards and slow bank transfers. CleverCards removes these barriers through deep integration with the global Mastercard network, issuing instant digital-only, tokenised Mastercards that work for everyone, anywhere.
