History
Pushpay was founded in 2011 by Chris Heaslip and Eliot Crowther in New Zealand. Heaslip served as CEO until his resignation in 2019.[8]
Molly Matthews, based in the company’s Seattle office, became CEO in 2021 following the interim leadership of board member Bruce Gordon.[9] She transitioned to a Senior Advisor role in 2025 when Kenny Wyatt was appointed CEO.[1]
In November 2016, Pushpay acquired Bluebridge's church app–related business.[10]
Pushpay joined the NZX50 Index in December 2017,[11] and the ASX All Ordinaries Index in March 2018. The company was added to the S&P/ASX All Technology Index when it launched in February 2020.
In December 2019, Pushpay acquired Church Community Builder, a U.S.-based church management software provider, for US$87.5 million.[12] Independent reporting highlighted the acquisition as significantly expanding Pushpay’s U.S. customer base.[13]
In September 2020, the company released ChurchStaq, a software suite integrating mobile giving, donor management, and church management capabilities.[14]
In May 2023, Pushpay was delisted from the NZX and ASX following its acquisition by Sixth Street Partners and BGH Capital.[7]
