The story of Trustpair
From how it all started to where we are going

Trustpair was born out of a strong conviction that manual controls of third-party data are time-consuming, costly and fallible for companies. Trustpair makes third-party data reliable throughout the Procure-to-Pay process, allowing teams to focus on the essentials.
How? The platform helps finance teams to confirm bank account ownership globally and to monitor risks within their existing P2P tools.

Trustpair started after Baptiste Collot, one of our co-founders, worked as a Treasurer in a major French corporation. He realized that paying third-parties was so tricky and unsafe that the Group decided to stop doing wire transfers, opting for a return to payment by cheque.
A lack of trust was prevalent in the relationships his former company had built over time with their business partners. As a result, Baptiste had the conviction that technology was the answer for overcoming such setbacks.

With the vision to become a global market leader in Third-Party Risk Management, Baptiste joined forces with Alexandre Gillier and Simon Elcham in 2017, to combine their experience in Finance and Product Development.
Today, more than 100 talented people with broad expertise are building the leading payment fraud prevention platform for global enterprises.
