B2B Cross-Border Payment & Compliance Platform

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

We built a neo banking platform that simplifies business banking for companies dealing with cross-border payments. Our product automates documentation and compliance processes, moving them from manual, fragmented systems to a digital-first, end-to-end solution that makes paying and receiving money internationally faster and less error-prone.

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

We live and are based in Bengaluru, Karnataka, India, and plan to keep the company headquartered here after YC.

Explain your decision regarding location.

Bengaluru is a fintech and SaaS tech hub with access to engineering talent and a growing ecosystem of businesses that deal with cross-border payments. Being local helps us stay close to our initial users and build the product informed by real customer feedback.
