Big news! Hello Clever has been named the second fastest growing startup in the 2024 AFR Fast Starters, joining an exclusive list of Australia’s fastest-growing companies. This recognition isn’t just a milestone—it’s a testament to our mission of transforming the payment experience for businesses and customers alike.
Since 2021, we’ve been on a fast track to innovation, helping businesses save time and money while delivering Real-Time rewards that customers love. It’s been an incredible journey, and making this list proves we’re just getting started.
Why AFR Matters
The AFR Fast Starters list highlights Australia’s most ambitious and impactful startups—businesses that are reimagining industries with bold solutions. For us, this achievement is a reflection of everything Hello Clever stands for: speed, simplicity, and innovation.
Traditional payment systems? Too slow. Rewards programs? Outdated. Businesses and customers deserve better. That’s why we created Hello Clever:
- For Businesses: Faster payment settlements, reduced fraud, and seamless integration into platforms like Shopify and WooCommerce.
- For Customers: Instant Cashback rewards that deliver real value—no waiting, no compromise.
Behind the Milestone
Making the AFR Fast Starters list didn’t happen overnight (even if it feels like it!). Since 2021, we’ve worked tirelessly to build a platform that addresses real frustrations for merchants and consumers.
Take Cake Creations by Kate, one of our amazing partners. Founder Katelyn Day used Hello Clever to streamline payments, protect against fraud, and grow her business faster. “Hello Clever means I can focus on baking while my payments work seamlessly in the background,” she says. Stories like Kate’s are what drive us to keep innovating.
This milestone also celebrates the incredible people behind Hello Clever. From late nights to product launches, our team’s energy and vision are the secret sauce of our success.
What’s Next for Hello Clever?
The AFR recognition is an exciting moment, but it’s not our finish line—it’s a launchpad. We’re continuing to expand our platform, onboard more businesses, and help our partners grow faster with real-time payments and rewards.
We know we’re not for everyone. If slow systems, lengthy waits, and outdated processes work for you, then we’re probably not your fit. But if you’re ready for fast rewards and faster growth, we’re here to help.
Thank you to the AFR and to everyone who’s been part of this journey. Here’s to even bigger milestones ahead!
