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]
