Background and History

Founded in July 2021, CLOWD9 is a global payment solutions provider built entirely in the cloud. Utilizing cutting-edge, cloud-native microservice technologies, the platform was the first to connect to Visa, Mastercard, and Discover's cloud endpoints, collectively referred to as the payment networks. Its elastic, horizontally scaled architecture ensures exceptional scalability, energy efficiency, and resilience—setting a new standard in the payments industry.

Driven by a shared vision to transform global payments, our high-performing team brings deep expertise across diverse industries, including payments, banking, investment banking, financial services, greentech, media, and advertising.

CLOWD9 is built entirely in the cloud, using the latest cloud-native microservice technologies and elastic horizontally scaled architecture. Its decentralized architecture enables virtual access to the platform worldwide through regional “instances,” intelligently routing transactions to the nearest cloud location. This design delivers unmatched reliability, accessibility, and scalability.

B-Corp Certification

Energy efficient by design, we take immense pride in being the world’s first cloud-native card issuer processor to become a B Corp certified organization, demonstrating our firm commitment to driving positive change in the financial technology sector. By integrating environmental sustainability, social responsibility, and strong governance into our core operations, we aim to set new industry benchmarks and inspire other Fintechs and Payments companies to follow suit.

In the last 12 months, we have reduced carbon emissions from our platform by more than 67% by migrating to AWS Graviton-based instances, achieving 15% cost savings while simultaneously increasing load capacity and resilience. Continued sensible technology choices, made possible due to the nature of the platform, ensure this is a continuing trend.
