Having already issued more than four million cards and processed over £2 billion in customer spending on issued cards, Monavate has achieved impressive growth since its creation.

Monavate’s new Supply Chain Payments division aims to bring order to this over-burdened, over-complicated landscape, and I welcome the new joiners to our endeavour.
