Paymentology has secured a $175 million investment co-led by Apis Partners and Aspirity Partners to accelerate growth and expansion across its issuer-processing platform.
The funding will fuel expansion into credit, stablecoin infrastructure, tokenisation, and AI-driven financial services, alongside global product development and team growth.
The deal supports Paymentology’s global expansion, enabling faster deployment of card programs and real-time payment experiences as the platform scales.
The platform enables clients to adapt payment programmes across regulatory and market environments while delivering real-time card and digital payment experiences.
Partners reiterate a focus on financial inclusion and the role of modern issuer processing in enabling faster, more flexible card programs.

Significant growth momentum in the Middle East, Latin America, Africa, and APAC, with notable customers continuing to add to a diversified regional footprint.
