New investors CMT Digital and Coinbase Ventures join Circle Ventures, Peak XV Partners, GMO Venture Partners, and January Capital in the Series B extension, with Ripple, Norinchukin Capital, ARC180, and RTP Global as existing backers of the company

The extension reflects investor alignment around Tazapay’s regulated, last-mile infrastructure, which harnesses modern digital settlement technology to power cross-border payments for businesses operating across emerging markets — replacing legacy banking rails with faster, more capital-efficient alternatives.

Built on Compliance. Designed for Scale.

Tazapay has established itself as a regulated last-mile infrastructure layer for businesses operating across APAC and emerging markets. At the core of this position is an industry-leading regulatory and compliance framework — spanning multiple licences, jurisdictions, and payment corridors — that enables partners and enterprises to move money with confidence where traditional infrastructure falls short. Tazapay’s modern payment rails and per-transaction funding model, powered through digital-native settlement technology, enable real-time, capital-efficient settlement at scale.

The business has demonstrated consistent, compounding growth — doubling revenues for three consecutive years, now serving over 1,000 enterprises and fintechs across 30 countries. This trajectory reflects growing enterprise demand for regulated, next-generation payment infrastructure in high-growth markets — infrastructure that leverages the speed and efficiency of modern digital rails while maintaining full regulatory compliance.

Tazapay holds licences and registrations across Singapore, Canada, Australia, and the United States, with active applications underway in the UAE, EU, and Hong Kong.

• Agentic payment infrastructure — Tazapay’s flexible rails and rules engine are purpose-built to support the next frontier of autonomous, AI-driven payments, enabling developers and enterprises to build agentic payment flows on top of fully compliant, robust, and licensed infrastructure
