ROCHESTER, NY AND BOSTON, MA / ACCESS Newswire / August 18, 2026 / PayQuicker, a leading global payout orchestration platform, today announced that Clearhaven Partners, a software-focused private equity firm, has completed a significant strategic investment in the Company. PayQuicker's President & CEO and members of its leadership team invested alongside Clearhaven in the transaction. Financial terms were not disclosed.
Founded in 2008, PayQuicker provides a cloud-based platform that enables enterprises to send secure, compliant, and real-time payouts to individuals and businesses across more than 210 countries and territories. Through a single API, PayQuicker connects customers to an extensive network of banks, card networks, processors, and local payment partners, intelligently routing payouts across bank accounts, physical and virtual cards, mobile wallets, and other local methods. PayQuicker's configurable solutions give recipients greater control over where, when, and how they receive funds while reducing the operational and compliance complexity of global money movement for its customers.
PayQuicker supports customers across a broad range of industries and payout use cases, including marketplaces and workforce platforms, clinical research, insurance, the creator economy, and other business models managing high-volume, distributed payee populations. The Company's technology, compliance and risk architecture, partner connectivity, and high-touch customer support enable customers to launch, scale, and optimize payout programs while delivering fast, reliable experiences to recipients worldwide.
"PayQuicker was built around a simple idea: global payouts should be easier for businesses to manage and better for recipients to experience," said Paul Beldham, President and CEO of PayQuicker. "As our customers have grown and their payout needs have become more complex, we have continued to expand the reach, flexibility, and capabilities of our platform. Clearhaven brings deep software and technology expertise, a shared commitment to our customers, and resources to help us accelerate the next phase of PayQuicker's growth. We are excited to partner with the Clearhaven team as we expand our global capabilities and continue delivering differentiated value to customers and payees around the world."
Clearhaven invests thematically in differentiated software and technology companies that simplify mission-critical, complex workflows. PayQuicker addresses a critical need by unifying a fragmented network of financial institutions and payment rails through a single, intelligent orchestration layer. Clearhaven will support PayQuicker's next phase of growth by expanding its global payment network and geographic reach, scaling commercial capabilities, broadening adoption across complex payout use cases and pursuing strategic growth initiatives, while continuing to invest in the platform and customer experience.
"PayQuicker sits squarely within Clearhaven's focus on backing differentiated technology businesses that simplify complex, mission-critical workflows," said Christopher Ryan, Managing Partner at Clearhaven Partners. "PayQuicker has created a powerful orchestration layer between enterprises and a fragmented global network of financial institutions and payment rails while maintaining a strong focus on reliability and the end-recipient experience. The Company has built a strong platform and an exceptional reputation with its customers, and we are excited to support PayQuicker's next phase of growth."
PayQuicker's Payouts OS provides a single integration to multiple financial institutions and payment rails. Its intelligent routing technology evaluates cost, speed, currency, payment method, reliability, and local regulatory and compliance requirements to select an optimized route for each payout. By combining intelligent routing with recipient-directed payout choice, real-time disbursement, branded experiences, and integrated compliance controls and reporting, the platform helps customers improve payout performance, strengthen recipient satisfaction, and scale without building and maintaining a patchwork of point integrations.
The partnership comes as enterprises increasingly require more flexible payout methods, faster access to funds, and consistent experiences across countries, currencies and recipient types, while regulatory and operational requirements continue to grow more complex. With Clearhaven's software expertise and operating resources, PayQuicker plans to expand the value it delivers to customers, partners, and payees while advancing its mission to make global payouts simpler and smarter.
