Thredd Signs Landmark Agreement to Enable Visa Cloud Connect Globally

Agreement sets stage for strengthened global reach, scalability, and resilience for fintechs and banks worldwide

LONDON--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Thredd, a leading next-generation global payments processor, today announced that it has signed an agreement to enable Visa Cloud Connect on a global scale. This milestone reflects Thredd’s continued investment in cloud-first infrastructure and reinforces its role as a global technology leader in payments processing.

Visa Cloud Connect allows organisations to access VisaNet, Visa’s secure and powerful global payments network, through their own cloud-based infrastructure. Purpose-built for cloud-native clients, Visa Cloud Connect can help deliver increased flexibility, faster time to market, and seamless scalability across borders.

Under the agreement, Thredd will connect across three global Visa Cloud Connect endpoints, committing to a full global rollout. Once live, this will eliminate the need for multiple regional integrations, helping our clients gain new geographies and accelerating Thredd’s vision of a unified global processing platform.

"Signing this agreement is about future-proofing payments infrastructure," said Jonathan Vaux, Head of Propositions and Partnerships at Thredd. "By committing to Visa Cloud Connect globally, we’re helping our clients gain faster, more resilient access to Visa’s network, while advancing our strategy to deliver a single, cloud-first global platform. Whether launching new programmes or scaling across markets, we strive to provide our clients with speed, reliability, and simplified expansion."

For Thredd, this agreement represents a significant step in its ongoing cloud transformation. It supports the company’s mission to provide clients with the most agile, scalable, and future-ready infrastructure in payments. This announcement builds on Thredd’s long-standing relationship with Visa and reflects a shared commitment to advancing cloud-based infrastructure in payments.
