Hello Clever

Hello Clever is a Sydney-based fintech founded in 2021 by Caroline Tran and Gavin Nguyen. It runs an AI-powered payments and loyalty platform that operates real-time payment rails and embeds instant cashback, rewards and actionable insights into every transaction, and is building what it calls the exchange for global money movement — an intelligence layer that decides whether each transaction should move across card networks, real-time bank rails, wallets, local payment methods or stablecoins, monetizing the match rather than a toll on each transaction. The company says it has processed US$5B in total transaction value across 25+ markets, holds Visa and Mastercard PayFac status and an Australian AFSL, and operates hubs in Sydney, New York, Tokyo, Singapore and Ho Chi Minh City.
