Born and based in Cambridge, UK, Monavate is a specialist payments solutions provider helping innovative, ambitious businesses navigate the complex network of relationships and technology choices needed to launch financial programmes.
A principal member of Visa, Mastercard and Discover, Monavate’s scheme sponsorship and payments platform is expertly curated to provide best-in-class technology and enable its customers to create and manage next-generation products with ease, scale and speed.
Discerning fintechs and payment providers work with Monavate to power their start-up and scale-up journeys, removing the complexities and traditional barriers to entry in launching and scaling programmes. There is a loud, incoherent and overcrowded ecosystem of services, solutions and products for payments, with businesses now overwhelmed, instead of liberated, by industry fragmentation. Which is why we believe in creating people-first payment solutions, combining guidance from our team of professionals, and fit-for-purpose technology to make even the most ambitious financial product idea a reality.
Established in 2020, our founders came together with the vision to change the payment landscape. Monavate now has a stellar cast of experts in its 37-strong team, has issued more than 4 million cards, powered over 94 million transactions, processed over £2 billion in customer spend on Monavate-issued cards, and covered 32 countries.
Monavate is regulated by the UK Financial Conduct Authority and Bank of Lithuania as an e-money institution and is a principal member of Mastercard, Visa, and Discover.
