MassPay Partners with Finexio to Launch Cross-Border AP Payments in 180+ Countries

Published

on

Partnership brings MassPay’s global payout network into Finexio’s accounts payable platform, with local payment rails in more than 180 countries, identity-verified vendors, and no added fees on payments that fail to land. General availability is targeted for late summer 2026.

ORLANDO, Fla. and LAS VEGAS, July 27, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — Finexio, the Accounts Payable Payments as a Service provider embedded in the world’s top procure-to-pay software suites, will launch its first cross-border payments offering through a partnership with MassPay, the global payout orchestration platform, the companies announced today. The offering will let Finexio customers pay vendors in more than 180 countries and 80 currencies directly from the AP platform where their domestic payments already run. It is rolling out with first partners now, with general availability targeted for late summer 2026.

The partnership reflects a larger shift in B2B payments. Cross-border vendor payments have historically lived outside the AP workflow, handed off to bank portals, wire forms, and a chain of correspondent banks that added days and stripped out visibility along the way. That model is giving ground to embedded infrastructure, where the AP platform becomes the origination point for global payments and a payout network handles delivery underneath it.

Under the partnership, Finexio customers will initiate international vendor payments from their existing AP workflow, and MassPay’s infrastructure will handle routing, funds delivery, and local payment rails in each market, with screening and verification built into the flow. Every vendor’s primary contact will complete identity verification, including a government ID and a live selfie, before payments begin, and account and name validation adds a second check in key markets. These validation layers help MassPay maintain a 99.76% transaction success rate across its network. Payments will move over MassPay’s established local rails, including real-time payout methods where available in the destination market, with no added fees when a payment fails to land, backed by MassPay’s pay-for-success model.

For years, growing internationally meant accepting a tradeoff: slower payments, less visibility into where money actually was, a new integration for every market, and treasury teams spending hours reconciling transactions instead of managing cash. The partnership is built to remove that tradeoff, and to open new markets without new integrations.

“Our customers already pay vendors all over the world. Today that means leaving the AP platform, keying wires into a bank portal, and losing sight of the money until it lands,” said Chris Wyatt, CEO of Finexio. “We are betting that global growth should not require a global payments team, and that accounts payable is the right place to solve it. We chose MassPay because their network matched the scale of what we were building toward.”

“We believe businesses should get paid in the currency, on the rail, and through the method that actually works for them locally,” said Ran Grushkowsky, CEO of MassPay. “We spent years building the proprietary infrastructure to make that real at scale, market by market. Now we get to put that infrastructure to work for Finexio and its customers, and help those businesses grow into markets they couldn’t easily reach before.”

STEPHEN A. SMITH ADDRESSES WHITE HOUSE DINNER ATTENDANCE, REAFFIRMS COMMITMENT TO HBCUs AND PROTECTING CORPORATE INVESTMENT IN BLACK EDUCATION

Published

on

By

NEW YORK, Oct. 23, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — Stephen A. Smith, media mogul, New York Times bestselling author, and proud 1991 graduate of Winston-Salem State University, is addressing the public discussion surrounding his decision to attend a White House dinner with President Donald Trump, emphasizing his commitment to the long-term financial stability of Historically Black Colleges and Universities (HBCUs).

For Smith, the decision was rooted in a commitment to institutions that have educated generations of Black leaders, professionals, entrepreneurs, and public servants.

“I will always advocate for HBCUs and the students whose futures depend on them,” Smith said. “My reason for attending the White House dinner was to discuss the challenges these institutions face in securing long-term funding and to make the case that corporate America must continue to invest in them.”

Smith acknowledged federal support through the FUTURE Act while expressing concern that political tensions surrounding diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) could discourage private companies from supporting HBCUs. He maintains that these institutions deserve sustained corporate partnerships, philanthropic contributions, and public investment.

“If we truly believe in free-market capitalism, businesses should be able to support educational institutions and charitable causes without fear of criticism or repercussions,” Smith said. “HBCUs have made extraordinary contributions to this country. They deserve sustained public and private investment.”

Ashley Christopher, Esq., Founder and CEO of the HBCU Week Foundation, recognized Smith’s advocacy and decision to engage with the administration.

“Stephen A. Smith has been a powerful advocate for HBCUs, using his platform and influence to shine a national spotlight on our institutions,” expressed Christopher, “His continued support of HBCU Week helps advance our mission of connecting students with life-changing educational opportunities, and we are proud to have him as our ambassador.”

Since Smith became an HBCU Week Ambassador in 2019, the initiative has facilitated more than 15,000 on-the-spot college acceptances and raised and awarded more than $150 million in scholarships, according to the HBCU Week Foundation.

As public discussion continues, Smith is emphasizing the importance of ensuring HBCUs have the resources and partnerships needed to educate future generations and expand opportunities for students.
