Mastercard and Corpay announced an expansion of their partnership to deliver an enhanced suite of corporate cross-border payment solutions. Thus, Corpay becomes exclusive partner for commercial cross-border payments distributed to Mastercard’s financial institution customers.
As a result, Mastercard’s financial institutions and their customers will now have simplified access to robust, end-to-end cross-border payments choices, including carded and non-carded solutions supporting all ticket sizes.
Under the agreement, Mastercard will become a minority investor in Corpay’s cross-border business. The $300 million investment – for an approximately 3% equity stake – represents an enterprise valuation of $10.7 billion, or 20x forward EBITDA multiple.
The partnership will strengthen solutions offered to financial institutions:
· Corpay will be the exclusive provider of industry-leading currency risk management and integrated large-ticket cross-border payments solutions to Mastercard’s financial institution customers
· The companies will extend their decades-long virtual card collaboration, with Corpay exclusively offering Mastercard virtual card programs to its customers
· Mastercard Move’s proven service focusing on disbursements and remittances for small ticket transactions will be offered to a broader set of small and mid-sized businesses in a range of new markets, including to existing Corpay customers
“This represents the natural extension of our commercial cross-border solutions,” said Raj Seshadri, chief commercial payments officer, Mastercard. “Our work with Corpay expands our reach into the large and growing cross-border B2B payments space helping our financial institution partners deliver on the non-carded needs of their commercial customers, simply and efficiently.”
“We’re incredibly excited about this investment and new partnership with Mastercard,” said Ron Clarke, chairman and CEO of Corpay. “We expect Mastercard’s sponsorship of our cross-border solutions will accelerate our financial institution revenue build.”
