Tazapay provides seamless local collection and payout capabilities in over 70 markets, serving a growing number of global enterprises across various industries. With over $10 billion in annual payment volume and a remarkable growth rate of 300% year-over-year, Tazapay is on a solid path to success.
The platform offers a diverse range of alternative payment methods, including cards, virtual bank accounts, payouts, and stablecoins, all supported by institutional-grade security and compliance across multiple jurisdictions.

Investments from Ripple and Circle strengthen Tazapay’s position at the intersection of traditional finance and digital currencies, while support from GMO VenturePartners and Norinchukin Capital will help expand its reach into Japan and introduce local payment methods.
Tazapay’s infrastructure facilitates regulated cross-border payment solutions for B2B marketplaces and fintechs.

KEY QUOTES:
“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. With this round, we are not just capitalizing the business; we are investing in our long-term vision to become the builder of a global payment collection and payout infrastructure built on modern rails. One of the key use cases this infrastructure serves is being the Fiat bridge for stablecoins in emerging markets.”
