Melbourne fintech Pay.com.au is eyeing an April ASX listing at $850m valuation, raising $85m. The company processed $2bn in payments for 50,000 SMEs, but sales team size and expansion hiring plans remain unclear. Worth watching if you are tracking ANZ fintech growth.

Pay.com.au preps $850m ASX float, no sales hiring intel yet

Pay.com.au is prepping an ASX listing in April with an $850 million valuation, raising $85 million to fund the float. The Melbourne-based fintech has processed over $2 billion in payments and serves 50,000 Australian SMEs.

The company lets businesses earn rewards points (PayRewards) on supplier payments, bills, tax, payroll, and super, even when the payee does not accept cards. Points convert to Qantas, Virgin, and Marriott programmes. Revenue sits at $14 million, though one source claims $164 million annualised gross revenue with 385-529% CAGR.

Pay.com.au raised $15 million in angel funding, then $18 million for US expansion under the PayRewards brand. The company is now cash flow positive and preparing for public markets despite volatility.

What this means for sales: Company headcount and sales team size are not public. No CRO or VP Sales named. Ed Alder (likely CEO) and David Walsh (Head of Digital, CX & Marketing) are listed executives, but no sales leadership details available. US expansion could drive ANZ hiring for sales support roles, but specifics are missing.

TheIPO prep suggests growth mode, but without sales team data or hiring plans, it is unclear what this means for quota-carrying roles. If you are tracking ANZ fintech sales opportunities, this one is worth monitoring, but the actual hiring intel is not there yet.

Pay.com.au charges processing fees with tiered subscription pricing. Target verticals include construction, FMCG, retail, and financial services. Competitors include NorthOne and Lili, though Pay.com.au claims market leadership in ANZ B2B payments rewards.

The float timing is aggressive given market conditions. Whether that signals confidence or urgency depends on how the raise lands. For now, it is a growth story without the sales hiring details that would make it actionable.
