Thredd, a global payments processor, has entered into an agreement to enable Visa Cloud Connect on a global scale, a move that reinforces its investment in cloud-first infrastructure and its role in payments technology.
Visa Cloud Connect allows organizations to access VisaNet, Visa’s global payments network, through their own cloud-based infrastructure. Designed for cloud-native clients, this service aims to provide increased flexibility, faster time to market, and seamless scalability across borders.
Under the agreement, Thredd will connect across three global Visa Cloud Connect endpoints, committing to a full global rollout. This integration is expected to remove the necessity for multiple regional integrations, facilitating client expansion into new geographies and aligning with Thredd’s goal of a unified global processing platform.
Jonathan Vaux, Head of Propositions and Partnerships at Thredd, stated, “Signing this agreement is about future-proofing payments infrastructure. By committing to Visa Cloud Connect globally, we’re helping our clients gain faster, more resilient access to Visa’s network, while advancing our strategy to deliver a single, cloud-first global platform. Whether launching new programmes or scaling across markets, we strive to provide our clients with speed, reliability, and simplified expansion.”For Thredd, this agreement is a significant step in its ongoing cloud transformation. It supports the company’s objective to offer clients agile, scalable, and future-ready payments infrastructure. This announcement extends Thredd’s established relationship with Visa and highlights a shared commitment to advancing cloud-based infrastructure in the payments sector.
