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.
