MuchBetter, originally built to enhance payout experiences in digital commerce, has broadened its scope to serve diverse consumer and corporate payment needs. Thredd’s unified, cloud-enabled platform allows MuchBetter to enter new markets quickly without compromising on speed, security, or regulatory adherence.

“International expansion is a core part of MuchBetter’s growth strategy, and Thredd has been a critical partner in helping us move quickly and confidently into new markets,” said Israel Rosenthal, Founder and CEO of MuchBetter. “Launching in Israel is an important step for us, and Thredd’s global platform, regulatory expertise, and deep payments experience make them the ideal partner as we continue to scale worldwide.”
