Paypa Plane was founded on the principle that payments can be made better for all parties involved. Those “better payments” are what we now call Smart Payment Agreements.
Here’s how Smart Payment Agreements came to be.
Start Path has a suite of programs focusing on Blockchain and Digital Assets, Emerging Fintech, In Solidarity, Open Banking, Small Businesses and more.
"CBA partners with fintech Paypa Plane.
New partnership to revolutionise payments for Australian businesses and their customers.
Commonwealth Bank has today announced a partnership with fintech Paypa Plane to enhance the payment experience for Australian businesses and help them transition to PayTo, while giving consumers more choice and control in how they pay."
"In another first for a major Australian bank, CBA has also completed a successful PayTo trial with two business customers, Telstra and The Shepherd Centre. CBA partnered with Paypa Plane to trial PayTo for these business customers, enabling them to each create a PayTo payment agreement and receive a payment."
"Our partnership with CBA means together we can bring instant momentum to the delivery of PayTo through the combination of our technology and CBA’s customer base – an important step for the industry and the payments ecosystem. Our partnership represents an important milestone for Paypa Plane, but it also signals a new era for the way both businesses and consumers will be able to think about and manage their payments – which is an exciting outcome for everyone"
