Founded in 2017, ConnexPay is the first and only unified payments platform that seamlessly integrates merchant acquiring, anti-fraud solutions and virtual card issuing on a single, end-to-end platform. The flexibility of this technology allows clients to adopt the full end-to-end solution or leverage ConnexPay’s innovative intelligent routing issuing-only platform. The company’s technology simplifies an antiquated payments workflow, eliminates the need for pre-funded accounts, reduces supplier risk and the cost of accepting card payments while safeguarding consumer spend.

Their transaction expertise, critical thinking, unparalleled understanding of the Payments sector, and commitment throughout the process made sure that we selected the right partner and reached a highly desirable outcome for all stakeholders. This is now twice over that they provided vital counsel to us!” said Bob Kaufman, Founder and CEO of ConnexPay.

Davidson. “We are excited to see what lies ahead for the ConnexPay team as they look to continue their expansion internationally and solidify their market-leading position.”
