Stenn, the working capital digital platform, has partnered with Payyd, a firm focused on dynamic payments technology, to help power growth for Indian exporters.
The collaboration delivers access “to Stenn’s innovative invoice financing, providing Payyd’s customers with on-demand capital through converting outstanding invoices into cashflow.”
Through the Payyd dashboard, an embedded simple 2 step flow, customers can now select to finance their exports “with Stenn and take control of their cashflow whilst trading across borders.”
Pete de Souza, VP of Partnerships at Stenn said:
“The traditional financing process for the world’s exporters simply isn’t fit for purpose – it’s lengthy, complicated, and overly technical. India is at the heart of global trade and businesses need to be able to scale their operations quickly to meet customer demand, but they can’t achieve that if they’re hindered by late or slow payments. In partnership with Payyd, we’re offering an alternative route to liquidity, and delivering financial flexibility and security, whilst ultimately giving the customer choice.”
Payyd’s users operating in India will now be “able to onboard via Payyd’s platform and access single invoice financing as and when they need.”
The non-recourse, single fee model offered “by Stenn provides the flexibility for exporters to access additional capital when it matters most.”
Nagarajan Rao, Founder & CEO of Payyd commented:
“We are excited to be partnering with Stenn. At Payyd, our mission is to enable underserved Indian exporters access to competitive and market leading services. We have built world-class payment capabilities for our exporter base and now with the addition of Stenn as our dedicated financing partner, exporters across India and beyond can avail a trusted facility, when many have no option at all. We continue to put our customers at the heart of our business and enable solutions to drive financial inclusion.”
Invoice financing allows businesses “to unlock working capital tied up in their accounts receivable by selling their outstanding invoices to another business for a small fee.”
Merchants can then quickly access “a significant portion of the invoice value in cash, providing them with immediate liquidity to cover operational expenses, invest in growth opportunities, and maintain smooth business operations without waiting for long payment cycles.”
As noted in the update, Stenn claims it is “the next-gen capital platform that unlocks fast, flexible, dilution-free funding so businesses can grow on their terms. Stenn’s international team of finance and technology experts have helped businesses in over 75 countries access $20 billion in working capital to scale operations and expand into new markets.

As mentioned in the announcement, Payyd, “the trusted brand in dynamic payments is a technology company operating in the US, UK, and India, dedicated to bridging the payment and operational gaps between export sellers and buyers across 50 countries worldwide.”
Payyd’s platform offers a “traceable end-to-end payment request solution built on established, reliable infrastructure available via its stand alone application or web based portal.”
This unique framework combines “the stability of a large bank with the agility of a startup, enabling SMEs to easily engage in global trade without the usual complexities.”
Payyd continues to partner with the business to ensure customers “find trusted, efficient and world class technology not offered in their underserved markets.”
