About us

In the Business of rewarding Business

pay.com.au was founded by Damien Waller, Edward Alder and Grant Austin, with a vision to help business owners turn everyday expenses into powerful rewards.

The founders recognised a major gap: while individuals were earning rewards on personal spend, business payments like the ATO, rent, or payroll often went unrewarded, either because of card limits, incompatible payment systems, or a lack of time and tools to make points work harder.

With deep experience across payments, rewards, and digital innovation, the founding team built pay.com.au as an end-to-end platform designed specifically for Australian businesses, making it simple to pay anyone, by card or bank transfer, and earn full credit card and PayRewards Points in return.

Since launching in 2021, we’ve helped tens of thousands of businesses process billions in payments, unlocking value on every transaction.
