[ULM, GERMANY] – May 12, 2026 Hellgate, the leader in Composable Payment Architecture (CPA), today announced a strategic partnership with ConnexPay, an all-in-one payments platform to unify acquiring and issuing. This collaboration enables enterprise merchants and global marketplaces to seamlessly integrate ConnexPay’s patented "Connected Payments" technology into Hellgate’s modular orchestration layer, creating a high-performance bridge between customer sales and supplier payouts.

For many businesses, the gap between accepting payments (acquiring) and settlement creates significant cash flow friction, often requiring expensive credit lines or days of waiting for settlement. By combining Hellgate’s orchestration fabric with ConnexPay’s unified platform, enterprises can now fund supplier payouts directly from real-time customer sales, effectively eliminating settlement delays and turning the payment cycle from weeks into minutes.

"Enterprise finance teams are tired of being locked into rigid, black-box payment stacks that hinder liquidity," said Moritz Bauch, VP Business Development and Partnerships at Hellgate. "Our partnership with ConnexPay represents a major milestone in our mission to provide sovereign control. By plugging ConnexPay’s unified acquiring and issuing capabilities into our Composable Payment Architecture, we are giving merchants the surgical precision to manage their cash flow and token data without vendor lock-in."

Key benefits of the Hellgate and ConnexPay partnership include:

• Real-Time Cash Flow: Fund supplier payments instantly using incoming customer funds, removing the need for pre-funding or external credit facilities.

• Total Token Sovereignty: Through Hellgate’s Universal Vaulting, merchants maintain ownership of their payment data while benefiting from ConnexPay’s optimized issuing and acquiring rails.

• Revenue Transformation: Turn payments from a cost center into a profit center by capturing rebates on virtual card spend and reducing interchange costs via network tokenization.

• Modular Integration: Enterprises can "surgically" add these capabilities into their existing infrastructure via Hellgate Hub, avoiding the "rip-and-replace" cycle of legacy systems.

"ConnexPay was built to simplify the complex B2B payment process by connecting the two sides of the ecosystem - PayIn and PayOut," said Jan Ruebel, VP Sales and Partnerships EMEA at ConnexPay. "Partnering with Hellgate allows us to bring this unified approach to an even broader audience of sophisticated enterprise clients who demand the flexibility and control that only a composable architecture can provide."

The partnership is now live, and businesses can explore the integration capabilities via the Hellgate Partner Portal
