In the B2B payments category, BluePenguin offers a unique, multi-card and multi-network payment platform.

These solutions can be easily deployed virtually and allow clients to cut third-party costs and create a new revenue stream.

BluePenguin CEO Steve Boyer said: “A modern accounting department with a remote workforce needs virtual payment solutions that quickly adapt and integrate into the new tools and processes the company puts in place.

“Fintechs like BluePenguin must be more nimble than ever before. Galileo’s robust APIs give us the flexibility and agility to create entirely new solutions that couldn’t be contemplated with other issuing processors or B2B virtual card incumbents, with their inflexible legacy systems.”

Launched in 2018, BluePenguin’s agile and proprietary platform helps bring B2B virtual payments to underserved customers.

Back in April 2020, the online personal finance company SoFi agreed to acquire Galileo Financial Technologies in a deal valued at $1.2bn.
