About

Bless Payments is a Perth-based remittance fintech that offers low-cost money transfers and travel cards tailored for migrants.

Mission

Founded in 2022 by Affy Bhatti, Mo Zaatar and Omair Chodhry, Bless Payments operates a global payments platform focused on eliminating hidden fees for migrant workers sending money home. Its app supports remittances to 60 countries and recently introduced a no-fee travel card that promises better foreign-exchange rates than traditional banks. The company currently serves more than 1,500 active users and targets 8,000 users by the end of 2026. Bless has secured regulatory approval to launch in Canada next month and plans to obtain licences for the UK in 2027 and the US in 2028. Chair Peter Khoury is steering compliance, capital and partnership strategy to support this expansion. Management positions Bless as a challenger to incumbents such as Airwallex, Wise, Revolut and Monzo, emphasising transparent pricing and migrant-specific financial tools.
