History
Paypa Plane was founded in 2017 by Simone Joyce and Jonathan Grant in Brisbane, Queensland.
The idea for the company emerged from frustrations with traditional recurring payment systems, particularly their lack of transparency and flexibility.
In 2018, the company launched its first version of Smart Payment Agreements, a framework designed to act as a structured, programmable layer over existing payment methods.
Paypa Plane participated in Suncorp’s Innovation Lab in 2019[1] and secured its first banking client in 2020.
In 2021, the company was selected for Mastercard’s global Start Path program, a fintech accelerator initiative.[2]
In 2022, Paypa Plane partnered with the Commonwealth Bank of Australia and participated in early trials of Australia's PayTo payment system, including transactions with companies such as Telstra.[3]
The company completed a Series A funding round in 2023, attracting investors including Mastercard, Queensland Investment Corporation (QIC), Cuscal, and Sprint Ventures.[4][5][6][7]
Products and services
Paypa Plane's core product is its Smart Payment Agreements™ system, which functions as a structured agreement layer governing automated payments.
These agreements are designed to:
- Capture and verify payer consent
- Define payment rules and schedules
- Ensure transactions comply with agreed terms before processing
- Provide both businesses and payers with visibility and control over payments
The system integrates with multiple payment rails, including direct debit, card payments, and real-time payment networks, and is delivered via APIs or white-label platforms for financial institutions.
Paypa Plane positions Smart Payment Agreements as a "mini smart contract" model tailored for everyday payments, enabling automation, reconciliation, and payment recovery processes.
Business model
Paypa Plane primarily serves banks, payment service providers, and enterprise clients.
Its technology is typically deployed as an overlay system that integrates with existing banking infrastructure, allowing institutions to offer enhanced payment capabilities without replacing legacy systems.
The platform is also designed to support emerging payment systems such as Australia's PayTo network and real-time payment frameworks in international markets.
Partnerships & investors
Paypa Plane has formed partnerships with major financial institutions and payment networks, including:
The company has also received investment from Queensland Investment Corporation (QIC) and Sprint Ventures as part of its Series A funding round.[8]
