Thredd has partnered with Paywith to launch an innovative rewards and payments program for a major Australian grocery retailer, leveraging Thredd’s scalable issuer processing platform and Paywith’s payment orchestration technology to deliver flexible, customer-centric prepaid card experiences.
This partnership addresses the growing demand for integrated, intelligent payment experiences in retail and loyalty programs. By unifying orchestration and issuance, Thredd and Paywith enable businesses to launch differentiated card propositions quickly while ensuring strong security, compliance, and consumer engagement.
Paywith’s orchestration platform blends funding sources into a seamless payment flow, while Thredd’s cloud-enabled, AI-first issuer processing delivers the underlying infrastructure for debit, credit, digital wallet, and ledger capabilities. Together, they support high-performance prepaid card programs that drive top-of-wallet usage and loyalty. The live grocery retailer program demonstrates rapid uptake, reflecting consumer preference for convenient, value-integrated payment methods.
Thredd’s platform provides comprehensive features critical for modern card programs: tokenization for secure digital wallet integration, real-time fraud and transaction monitoring, 3DS authentication, push provisioning, and gateway processing. This full visibility and control allow Paywith to scale efficiently while maintaining best-in-class security for end-users. Thredd’s deep understanding of the Australian payments ecosystem, regulatory requirements, and market dynamics further accelerates deployment and reduces risk.
“Paywith is a sophisticated player with deep global payments experience, and they evaluated the full market before choosing Thredd,” said Damien Gough, Head of Asia Pacific, Thredd. “What stood out was our ability to combine robust APIs, local Australian market knowledge, and a proven track record of delivering complex programs quickly. This partnership reinforces Thredd’s position as the processor of choice for orchestrators and program managers building differentiated card propositions.”
“Thredd’s technology and delivery model allowed us to move fast without compromising on control or flexibility,” said Andrew Lackie, CEO, Paywith. “Their support, responsiveness, and understanding of the local payments ecosystem were key factors in bringing this program live and positioning us for future growth.”
The collaboration strengthens Thredd’s momentum in Australia and positions both companies to support additional innovative card-based solutions in the region.
