About Us 

Hello Clever is building the next generation of payments and loyalty infrastructure by turning every transaction into growth for merchants. 

We’re an AI-powered fintech operating across 26+ markets, helping businesses move money in real time and convert payments into measurable outcomes like higher repeat rates, bigger baskets, and smarter customer engagement. Our platform combines local account-to-account rails, embedded cashback and loyalty products, and powerful data intelligence through Clever AI, so merchants can launch offers, optimise ROI, and scale faster, all through a single integration. 

We recently crossed $70M in live ARR and are on track to pass $100M by the end of 2026-just 2.3 years after reaching our first $1M. It’s an exciting milestone that reflects the scale of what we’re building and the opportunity ahead. 

We’re also proud to be recognised on the global stage, including being named Australia’s fastest-growing fintech, recognised in Forbes Asia’s Top 100, ranked among the AFR Fastest-Growing Companies, and selected for Inc. Magazine’s Best in Business.
