Markup Valley has announced an official channel partnership with SUNRATE, a global payment and financial infrastructure platform, to support cross-border transactions and international payment services for businesses. The collaboration aims to help companies operating across different markets manage international payments and access financial services designed for global business activities. Through the partnership, Markup Valley plans to work with SUNRATE to provide cross-border payment solutions, combining its service delivery capabilities with SUNRATE’s international payment infrastructure. The announcement highlights the growing role of partnerships between financial technology providers in helping businesses manage transactions across borders.
The partnership follows the participation of Ali Nisar, FCCA, CIA, Chief Executive Officer of Markup Valley, at a SUNRATE event held in Karachi on October 8, 2026. The event focused on industry strategies for streamlining international payments and supporting market access for growing enterprises. Discussions around cross-border payments are relevant to businesses that purchase goods and services internationally, work with overseas clients, or operate across multiple markets. Payment processes can involve different currencies, financial institutions, and settlement requirements, making access to suitable payment infrastructure an important consideration for companies expanding beyond their domestic markets.
As an official channel partner, Markup Valley will collaborate with SUNRATE to deliver cross-border payment services to businesses operating in various international markets. According to the announcement, the initiative is intended to provide secure and reliable payment options while helping companies manage international transactions more efficiently. SUNRATE’s global payment infrastructure will form part of the collaboration, while Markup Valley will contribute through its service delivery and business relationships. However, the companies have not disclosed specific details about the services that will initially be offered, supported currencies, transaction fees, geographic coverage, or the timeline for implementation.
Ali Nisar described the partnership as a milestone in Markup Valley’s efforts to expand its international financial services and develop partnerships with global providers. The collaboration reflects wider activity in the fintech sector, where payment platforms and service providers are working to address the requirements of businesses involved in international trade and cross-border commerce. Access to suitable payment solutions can help businesses manage overseas transactions and support relationships with international customers and suppliers. Further details about the partnership’s commercial rollout and expected business impact have not yet been announced. The agreement establishes a basis for cooperation between Markup Valley and SUNRATE as they seek to serve businesses with international payment requirements.
