Lets global merchants accept local payment methods and get paid in emerging markets across Latin America, Africa and Asia.
Lets global merchants accept local payment methods and get paid in emerging markets across Latin America, Africa and Asia.
Takes a small cut of each payment it processes for global merchants in emerging markets, so payment volume and the mix of countries and merchants drive revenue; a small number of very large clients account for a big share. Payouts to local sellers and contractors use the same network. The company is based in Uruguay.
Moat: narrow (regulatory licence, installed base, scale). Local banking licenses and payment-rail integrations across dozens of emerging markets are slow to replicate.
