The platform connects organisations with more than 3000 global brands, enabling seamless distribution of digital gift cards across more than 40 markets and 25 currencies. Tillo has processed over $4 billion in gift card volume to date and continues to expand internationally as demand for digital gift solutions grows.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>The decision to move ahead with Optimus was backed by the latter\u2019s ability to handle high transaction volumes without slowing down finance operations while maintaining transaction-level accuracy across fees, commissions, settlements, and adjustments. Optimus enables organizations to ingest raw payment data from multiple sources, normalize it across markets, and deliver a single, reconciled view of payment performance in near real time.<\/p>\n<p><em>\u201cWe operate a vast and complex network for digital gift cards. As we continue to scale globally, we needed a payments back-office platform that could handle this complexity without adding operational friction,\u201d<\/em> said <strong>Doug Richards<\/strong>, <strong>CFO<\/strong>, Tillo.<\/p>\n<p><em>\u201cOptimus stood out for its ability to process high-volume, multi-country payment data with precision. Integration was straightforward despite our layered payment stack, and the platform immediately gave us clear visibility across transactions, fees, and settlements. As we expand further globally, Optimus will serve as our single global source of truth for payment data and reconciliation,\u201d<\/em> Richards said.<\/p>\n<p>Unlike traditional reconciliation tools and fragmented finance systems, Optimus is purpose-built to operate at transaction-level granularity, even in environments with millions of daily transactions, multiple payment service providers, and complex fee structures. This capability allows finance teams to proactively identify revenue leakages, prevent fee overcharges, reduce the cost of payments, and eliminate delays caused by manual reconciliation and spreadsheet-driven month-end closes.<\/p>\n<p>\u201c<em>For companies operating at this scale, even small inaccuracies compound into significant financial risk worth hundreds of millions,<\/em>\u201d said <strong>Swapnil Mengawade<\/strong>, <strong>Founder &#038; CEO<\/strong>, Optimus Fintech Inc. \u201c<em>Optimus was built for this reality. We are the only platform designed to accurately handle high-volume, complex payment data at a granular level\u2014so finance teams can close faster, reduce payment costs, and operate with confidence as they scale globally.<\/em>\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The partnership reinforces Optimus Fintech\u2019s position as a trusted platform for high growth enterprises that require precision, control, and scalability across global payment operations.<\/p>\n<h3><strong>About Optimus Fintech<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>Optimus Fintech is a cloud platform for financial operations automation that helps enterprises accurately process, reconcile, and analyze payment data at scale. Designed for high-volume, complex payment environments, Optimus enables finance teams to reduce the cost of payments, eliminate revenue leakage, and close faster\u2014without manual effort or system fragmentation.<\/p>\n<p>For more information, visit <strong>https:\/\/optimus.tech<\/strong> or follow Optimus Fintech on LinkedIn.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Deal underscores shift toward purpose-built platforms for managing complex global payment data.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":102931,"featured_media":3365272,"template":"","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"content-type":"","inline_featured_image":false,"press_contact_first_name":"Amrit","press_contact_last_name":"Mohanty","press_contact_title":"Head - Marketing ","press_contact_company":"Optimus Fintech Inc","press_contact_email":"amrit@optimus.tech","press_contact_phone":"","meta_description":"The release is a category validation from one of the most complex payment businesses in the world - Optimus Fintech has signed Tillo, one of the world\u2019s largest digital gift card networks, to manage high-volume, multi-country payment reconciliation at transaction-level accuracy.
