Enterprise payments infrastructure provider Episode Six has expanded its partnership with Monavate, the UK-based BIN sponsorship and issuer processing platform, to support its international growth.
The strengthened collaboration reinforces Episode Six’s role in powering MonavateOne., a platform that allows its clients to operate as issuer, processor, and ledger across multiple markets.
As Monavate accelerates its growth beyond the UK and Europe, Episode Six continues to enable its seamless expansion into new geographies without significant technical lift. The expanded partnership supports Monavate’s mission to offer clients the flexibility to tailor issuer, processor, and BIN sponsor relationships to their client’s product strategy quickly and at scale.
“Our partnership with Episode Six is grounded in shared values and a joint commitment to solving real-world challenges for our clients,” said Scott Lucas, Co-Founder at Monavate. “This isn’t just a technology relationship – it’s a collaboration that drives new business opportunities and supports our ability to serve customers globally, especially as demand from sectors like crypto continues to grow.”
Infrastructure support
Episode Six’s platform provides the foundational infrastructure for MonavateOne., enabling Monavate to bring new offerings to market quickly, maintain compliance, and provide modern alternatives to legacy issuer solutions. By leveraging Episode Six’s highly configurable platform–which combines ledger and processing capabilities– Monavate is able to give fintechs the tools to launch and scale card programs with fewer constraints.
“Monavate is one of the most forward-thinking players in the market—and we’re proud to be their partner on their journey,” said John Mitchell, CEO and co-founder of Episode Six. “Our teams work as one, focused on building solutions that drive outcomes. As Monavate grows, our role is to make sure nothing stands in the way of that growth.”
The partnership also highlights the importance of cultural alignment and long-term collaboration in navigating the competitive payments landscape. As Monavate’s business continues to expand across new countries and regions, its alignment with Episode Six underscores the importance of strategic fit and future-ready infrastructure.
