Paymentus Holdings Inc (NYSE: PAY) is a cloud-based bill payment technology company that processes bill payments and money movements for billers and financial institutions. Revenue is primarily transactional, generated each time a consumer or business uses the platform to pay a bill. The platform served approximately 53 million consumers and businesses globally as of December 2025, connecting billers across utilities, financial services, insurance, government, telecommunications, real estate management, education, consumer finance, healthcare, B2B, and small business verticals. Paymentus operates through its Instant Payment Network (IPN), which integrates banking partners, eCommerce partners, and PayPal into a single bill payment infrastructure. The company generally does not charge billers for standard development or implementation, making transaction volume the core unit economic driver. Voting control is concentrated with Accel-KKR and the founder and CEO under a dual-class stock structure.

Revenue model

Transactional fees collected each time a consumer or business uses the platform to pay a bill or conduct a money movement. Standard biller onboarding carries no upfront implementation fees, so revenue scales with payment volume across the biller and financial institution network.
