CEO Grant Bissett said “We’ve worked with thousands of Australia’s small businesses and we understand where they’re under-served by existing payment solutions. Working with Vix, who bring deep global payments experience, will accelerate our growth, help us to better serve our customers, and assist us in our mission to ensure Australian businesses of any size can participate in global e-commerce without disadvantage.”

Pin Payments launched Australia’s first all-in-one multicurrency payment system in 2013. The company has operations in Perth and Melbourne and works with financial services partners including NAB and Perpetual. Prior to the current investment round Pin Payments has received funding via angel investment from successful Australian software entrepreneurs and grant funding from the Australian Government’s Commercialisation Australia program.
The UK’s Trade and Investment department recently selected Pin Payments to participate in a tour promoting the UK as a location to establish operations for early-stage tech companies.
