CardUp is a credit card enablement platform that brings value to both individuals and businesses by improving the way they pay and get paid, access credit and manage payments.
The company started by allowing any big expense previously made by bank transfer, cheque or cash to be shifted to card, even where cards are not accepted. Examples include rent to a landlord, insurance premiums, payroll, supplier invoices and more. CardUp has since gone on to launch merchant card solutions, card enablement and payment automation tools that help SMEs save time and automate their finance processes.
CardUp manages hundreds of millions of dollars in payment volume in the region today. As of 2020, CardUp operates in Singapore, Hong Kong and Malaysia.
