Payments infrastructure for businesses scaling in APAC

What is your company going to make? Please describe your product and what it does or will do.

We built a full stack payments platform that combines e-commerce, point of sale, and B2B payments into one product for growing companies in APAC. It handles complex regional regulations and multiple payment types so businesses don't have to stitch together different providers.

Where do you live now, and where would the company be based after YC?

We live in Singapore, and the company is based here.

Explain your decision regarding location.

Singapore is the commercial hub for APAC fintech and has the regulatory environment we need. Being here lets us serve merchants across the region effectively.
