Launch Closed-Loop Corporate Credit Platform
Key Highlights:
•
Spenda has entered into a Technology Services Agreement and Binding Funding Agreement with APG Pay Pty
Ltd, a wholly owned subsidiary of Singapore-based APG Tech Pte Ltd, for the development and commercial

•
The strategic partnership will service the B2B payments space with a corporate credit platform that is
designed to serve multiple industry verticals with scalable, integrated payment solutions.

The new platform will start with scale, as many clients from the AirPlus travel portfolio and Spenda’s B2B
portfolio transition to APG Pay.
•
Spenda and APG will share net profits generated across all industry verticals under a revenue-sharing model
designed to scale with platform adoption. Both parties have agreed mutual exclusivity for a 10 year term,
with an option to extend for another 10 years.
•
The platform’s initial launch is set for July 1, with the Travel industry as the first vertical, supporting the
transitioning AirPlus customers throughout the Asia-Pacific region.
•
Based on current (FY24) contracted payment volumes provided by APG, the Company expects to generate
recurring gross profit of ~$1.7m per annum (~$140,000 per month).
Spenda Limited (ASX:SPX, “Spenda” or “the Company”), an innovative software company providing workflow software,
embedded finance and payment solutions across supply chains and trading networks, is pleased to announce that it has
executed a Technology Services Agreement (“Agreement”) with APG Pay Pty Ltd (“APG”) a wholly owned subsidiary of
Singapore based APG Tech Pte Ltd (Singapore) to develop and commercialise a closed-loop corporate credit and
payments platform.
Under the terms of the agreement, Spenda and APG have formed a strategic collaboration to develop and deliver the
technology and services underpinning the launch and operation of the Platform, which will integrate embedded finance
solutions directly into Spenda’s existing payments and software infrastructure. APG has committed A$50m to kick off the
partnership, with capital allocations set to scale in line with business growth.
The Platform has been designed to support corporate customers and travel partners across Australia and the Asia-Pacific
region as the AirPlus Business Credit product is phased out. APG and Spenda have been selected as a preferred partner
to transition this portfolio of clients, ensuring continuity and enhanced service through the new solution.
From 1 July, the APG / Spenda partnership will launch the first phase of capability supporting corporate travel customers
in Australia, New Zealand, Hong Kong and Singapore transitioning from AirPlus, as well as Spenda’s supply chain
customers that includes the Carpet Court channel. Phase two will encompass rollout of the Platform to other industry
verticals such as automotive, real estate and trade services.
Spenda and APG have established a profit share model and are committed to a 10-year exclusivity arrangement, with an
option to extend for another 10 years. APG Pay will replace the Company’s existing credit solutions and will be offered to
customers as an embedded finance product in the Company’s software stack.
Revenue
Based on FY24 contracted volumes provided by APG, Spenda expects to generate recurring payments gross profit of
approximately $140,000 per month (equating to ~$1.7 million annually).
Additional revenue will be derived from:
•
•
A fee on all transacted payment volume through the Platform.
Ongoing platform maintenance and service fees.
Managing Director Adrian Floate commented “This agreement completes a transition for Spenda from an on-balance
sheet lender to an embedded credit enabler that utilizes software to manage lending outcomes and payment flows for
Customers, without credit risk exposure. We expect to grow new portfolios and collaborate with APG to scale existing
customer networks. The provision of APG credit products and the profit share structure reflect our highly aligned
partnership that is based on strong confidence in Spenda’s technology and execution capabilities. We look forward to
building a long-term relationship with APG as we expand our footprint across Australia and the Asia-Pacific region.”
