CatalystPay Partners with Equals Connect to expands Offering with Multi-currency Payment Accounts

10/04/2025 – CatalystPay, a trusted partner for global payment processing, is expanding its offering with the launch of multi-currency Business Accounts, designed to simplify international transactions and financial management for modern merchants. The new service, launched in partnership with Equals Money, addresses a long-standing pain point: the complexity of managing cross-border payouts, multi-currency balances, and FX exposure across multiple providers.

With this launch, CatalystPay strengthens its role as the go-to partner for online businesses looking to consolidate payment processing and financial operations - providing everything needed to accept, manage, and move money globally.

Your Payment Essentials in One Place

CatalystPay has long enabled merchants to unlock global growth through access to 30+ acquiring banks, 150+ processing currencies, and intelligent transaction routing via its powerful gateway. Now, with the introduction of Business Accounts, merchants can manage incoming and outgoing payments from one reliable partner.

With dedicated multi-currency IBANs, support for 30+ currencies, and access to global payment rails such as SWIFT, SEPA, SEPA Instant, and UK Faster Payments, CatalystPay Business Accounts provide the flexibility and control that growing businesses need to scale.

How CatalystPay Business Accounts Support Global Merchants

  • Receive settlements with zero incoming fees (for existing CatalystPay payment processing clients)
  • Hold and transact in 30+ currencies from a dedicated multi-currency IBAN
  • Send and receive international payments via SWIFT, SEPA, SEPA Instant, and UK Faster Payments
  • Manage FX risk strategically with spot trades or forward contracts for more control over exchange rates

"At CatalystPay, we know that accepting payments is only half the journey - merchants also need efficient ways to manage and move their funds. By launching business accounts alongside our payment processing services, we’re giving businesses more flexibility and control over their finances. Our partnership with Equals enables us to offer a trusted and cost-effective financial solution,"

— Kevin Hart, CEO, CatalystPay

“At Equals we are constantly expanding our reach through strategic partnerships. We’re really excited about supporting the growth of CatalystPay and their client verticals through our collaboration.”

— Alistair Hutson, Head of Partnerships, Equals Money
