DALLAS--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Paymentus Holdings Inc. (“Paymentus”) (NYSE: PAY), a leading provider of cloud-native billing, payment, disbursement, and AI-enabled Service Commerce solutions, today announced it has achieved Premier tier within the Guidewire PartnerConnect program.

The Premier designation reflects the continued growth of Paymentus across the Guidewire ecosystem and the companies’ shared commitment to helping insurers modernize critical policyholder experiences. Paymentus integrates with Guidewire PolicyCenter, BillingCenter, and ClaimCenter to support premium billing and payments, claims disbursements, digital engagement, and policy servicing.

Paymentus brings significant enterprise scale to the partnership, processing more than 790 million transactions annually across inbound bill payments, multi-party disbursements, and payouts, while serving approximately 53 million consumers and businesses worldwide. More than 30 Fortune 500 companies trust the Paymentus platform, which handles payments from 35 countries in multiple currencies and languages and is designed to support the complex systems and surpass the security and resiliency requirements of the world’s largest service providers.

To address insurer concern around disintermediation and in-line with today’s AI-driven world, Paymentus will also bring its next-generation policyholder engagement capabilities to Guidewire Marketplace. This includes BillWallet®, its service-native digital wallet and persistent identity layer, and Billeo™, its AI-native Service Commerce platform.
