Singapore, 27 August 2025 – Tazapay, a leading global cross-border payments infrastructure platform, has successfully closed its Series B funding round with investments from Peak XV Partners, Ripple (US), Circle Ventures, Norinchukin Capital (Japan), and GMO VenturePartners (Japan). Existing investors including January Capital, ARC180, and RTP Global also participated in this round.
This milestone comes as Tazapay continues its rapid growth, now processing more than $10 billion in annualized payment volume with a 300% year-over-year increase and achieving operational breakeven.
With its differentiated platform, Tazapay empowers global businesses with seamless local collection and payout capabilities across 70+ markets. Its infrastructure spans alternative payment methods, cards, virtual bank accounts, payouts, and stablecoins—backed by institutional-grade security and compliance across multiple jurisdictions.
The strategic participation of Ripple and Circle—two global leaders in blockchain-based and stablecoin-powered payments—underscores Tazapay’s role as the fiat network bridging traditional finance with stablecoins in emerging markets, strengthening last-mile connectivity for global businesses.
The new funding will also accelerate Tazapay’s licensing roadmap, with applications already underway in the UAE, US, Hong Kong, Australia, and for a Digital Payment Token (DPT) license in Singapore.
In parallel, partnerships with GMO VenturePartners and Norinchukin Capital will further expand Tazapay’s footprint in Japan, where it will enable local payment methods and support Japanese enterprises in scaling internationally.
Speaking on the announcement, Rahul Shinghal, Co-founder and CEO of Tazapay, said:
“We’re entering the next chapter of our journey—one where modern payment technologies, regulatory compliance, and partnerships with global leaders will enable the future of cross-border commerce. This funding is not just capital—it’s fuel for our long-term vision of building a truly global collection and payout infrastructure on modern rails.”
Tazapay’s Series B marks a pivotal step in shaping the future of cross-border commerce, bridging the gap between traditional banking and next-generation, borderless digital finance.
