Our take
Founded in 2017, Trustpair was conceived to solve the B2B payment fraud issue for large corporations by offering a SaaS platform that allows finance teams to control the accuracy of their third-party data.
The founders were appalled by the idea that companies could cumulatively lose billions each year because of B2B payment fraud. In fact, in 2021, French companies lost €70M due to transfer fraud. It is perhaps unsurprising therefore that the company has been able accrue many large corporate clients who use the platform daily.
Founded in Paris, successful funding has enabled the company to secure its market-leading position in France. It has also invested capital into accelerating the expansion of international markets in Europe as well as penetrating the United States.
