We are Tazapay, a Singapore-based fintech startup enabling companies to seamlessly do cross-border payments. We provide checkout, payment link, and escrow solutions to simplify international transactions and help reduce the risk for both buyers and sellers online.
Cross-border payments are complex, costly and clunky. Credit cards are often expensive and wire transfers are too cumbersome and offer no recourse for the buyer or seller. Tazapay has built a global network of local collection methods in over 85 markets on top of our card coverage in 173+ markets, which are exposed over a single API. This enables fast and cost-effective cross-border payments at the cost of domestic payments using open banking, real-time payment networks, and dynamic geolocation to match with a customer’s local payment provider. We bring international eCommerce and SaaS platforms to the forefront of the digital economy by unlocking cross-border payments.
Tazapay is a member of the Singapore FinTech Association. Our founders bring over 50 years of experience from prominent, high-growth fintech and service companies around the world. Our team is a bunch of geeks enthusiastic about solving a real and complex problem.

Tazapay was founded in 2020 in Singapore to solve a specific problem: cross-border payments were either expensive (credit cards), slow and risky (wire transfers), or simply unavailable through local methods in many markets. The founders set out to build a single platform that lets businesses collect, hold, and pay out across borders without needing a local entity in every country.
Tazapay provides global payments infrastructure for businesses. This covers a payment gateway for accepting payments from customers in 170+ countries, global collection accounts to hold balances in 35+ currencies, payouts to send money in 100+ currencies, and stablecoin on/off-ramp services for businesses that want to settle in stablecoins. The goal is to give businesses one platform for collecting, holding, and paying out money internationally, instead of stitching together several providers.
Tazapay has raised a total of over $60 million in funding across multiple rounds, including a Series B led by Circle Ventures. Investors include Peak XV Partners, Ripple, Circle Ventures, Coinbase Ventures, CMT Digital, Norinchukin Capital, GMO Venture Partners, January Capital, ARC180, RTP Global, Saison Capital, and the PayPal Alumni Fund, among others. Their logos are listed further down this page.
Yes. Customer funds are held and safeguarded in line with the requirements of each regulator Tazapay operates under. Read more on our support site for a full explanation of how funds are protected.
Tazapay is the payment infrastructure a business uses to accept your payment, not the seller itself. If you bought something from a marketplace or online store that processes payments through Tazapay, your purchase agreement is with that seller, and questions about your order, delivery, or product should go to them first. If your payment did go through Tazapay and you need help with a transaction, such as a refund or a dispute, contact our support team at [email protected] with your transaction reference number.
Every business that onboards with Tazapay goes through Know Your Business (KYB) verification before it can fully use the platform. This means submitting documents like business registration, ownership structure, and identification for anyone holding 25% or more of the company. It can feel like a lot upfront, but it is what keeps Tazapay dealing only with verified, compliant businesses, which is part of what makes the platform safe for everyone using it. Read more here for the full list of what is required and why.
A transaction number lets our team locate your payment quickly. Without it, locating and verifying a transaction can take longer than necessary. Read more here for the full process.
