Growing the business to unlock further potential 

 

SurePay launched in 2016, and in 2020 became an independent member of Rabobank Group. Its solution helps banks and organisations avoid misdirected payments and reduce payment fraud by giving greater assurance that their payments are going to the intended beneficiary. Since its launch, it has carried out four billion payment checks.

The company estimated that its solution reduces misdirected payments by 67%, fraud in payments by 81% and leads to 80% less fraudulent onboardings for the clients using the platform.

Over 30 banks and more than 150 corporates are using SurePay’s service which helps prevent different types of fraud. The platform’s strong performance has helped drive +400% year-on-year growth among corporates, which together with bank clients, is expected to drive growth going forward.

Harrie Vollaard, Managing Director at Rabo Frontier Ventures: “SurePay has grown from an in-house start up to a solution that benefits millions of consumers daily. SurePay is well on its way to further unlock its enormous potential. We are proud to welcome the two renowned investors to join the journey. With this round SurePay will continue to add financial players to its European platform and further build out their digital ecosystem”.
