XFolio AI (xfolio.ai), a Paris-based treasury and cash management technology group, has acquired Absolute Payment Solutions (APS) ( one of a select number of Pay.UK-accredited Bacs service providers in the UK. This acquisition creates an integrated platform spanning Bacs and all payment types, open banking, risk management, and treasury—giving UK corporates of all sizes the tools to manage cash and execute payments in one place.
APS’s Bacs accreditation underpins payment services relied upon daily by organisations across both the public and private sectors, from SMEs running payroll and direct debit collections to large corporates processing high-volume payment flows. While enterprise payment platforms often demand significant scale and budget, and lighter solutions trade capability for speed of setup, APS and XFolio together deliver accredited Bacs infrastructure combined with advanced treasury intelligence across SWIFT, API, H2H, and EBICS rails—without the enterprise price tag or capability compromises.
The combined offering will be brought to market both directly and through a growing partner and financial institution channel. Banks, accountants, and intermediaries see a clear opportunity to deepen relationships with their clients by offering integrated payment and treasury capabilities alongside their existing services.
Dyfan Williams, joining as GM and Group Operating Partner, said: “Payments simplified, treasury unified is what this combination delivers. Bacs accreditation gives us the credibility and infrastructure to serve customers at every scale, and XFolio brings AI-driven forecasting, risk management, and multi-rail payment connectivity to complete the picture. For partners and financial institutions, this is a compelling way to add real value to their client relationships.”
Anis Rahal, founder of XFolio AI, added: “Our strategy is organic growth complemented by targeted acquisitions, supported by institutional investors. The UK payments market has been underserved by solutions that genuinely connect treasury and payments, and we are building the platform and partner network to change that.”
Financial terms were not disclosed.

PakarPBN
A Private Blog Network (PBN) is a collection of websites that are controlled by a single individual or organization and used primarily to build backlinks to a “money site” in order to influence its ranking in search engines such as Google. The core idea behind a PBN is based on the importance of backlinks in Google’s ranking algorithm. Since Google views backlinks as signals of authority and trust, some website owners attempt to artificially create these signals through a controlled network of sites.
In a typical PBN setup, the owner acquires expired or aged domains that already have existing authority, backlinks, and history. These domains are rebuilt with new content and hosted separately, often using different IP addresses, hosting providers, themes, and ownership details to make them appear unrelated. Within the content published on these sites, links are strategically placed that point to the main website the owner wants to rank higher. By doing this, the owner attempts to pass link equity (also known as “link juice”) from the PBN sites to the target website.
The purpose of a PBN is to give the impression that the target website is naturally earning links from multiple independent sources. If done effectively, this can temporarily improve keyword rankings, increase organic visibility, and drive more traffic from search results.
