CloudPay Sees Hike In Demand For Treasury Services, Nets $58M In Funding

Global pay provider CloudPay has raised $58 million in a new fundraising round, according to a press release.

With the new funds, CloudPay is preparing to continue growing its employee pay solutions, the release stated. The company works on unifying global payments systems.

Last year, CloudPay saw a spike in demand for its treasury services and a desire among its customers to consolidate more of their pay operations onto CloudPay’s platform, according to the release.

The Olayan Group, along with existing investors Pinnacle Investment Partners and Rho Capital Partners, participated in the round, the release stated.

“This funding will be instrumental as we build our FinTech solutions, including peer-to-peer payment capabilities,” said CloudPay CEO Paul Bartlett in the release. “The participation of our existing investors is further endorsement of our vision, and I’m especially excited to welcome The Olayan Group — an organization that shares our global perspective — as our newest investor.”

CloudPay Chairman Joshua Ruch said in the release: “CloudPay customers already enjoy substantial consolidation benefits with our state-of-the-art global payroll platform. We’ll continue to redefine the sector with new treasury management and earned wage access services for employers and employees.”

CloudPay also recently debuted an earned wage access offering, CloudPay NOW, which cuts down on operational complexities and lets employees manage finances, according to the release.
