Tazapay, a Singapore-based cross-border payments infrastructure platform, announced Tuesday the successful close of its Series B funding round with investment from Peak XV Partners, Ripple (US), Circle Ventures, Norinchukin Capital (Japan), and GMO VenturePartners (Japan).

Existing investor Peak XV Partners led the round and two other existing investors January Capital and ARC180 joined the round, Tazapay said in a statement.

The company which is already licensed in Singapore, Canada, and the European Union, will use the new funding to accelerate its licensing roadmap across key global markets.

Applications are underway for licenses in the United Arab Emirates (UAE), United States, Hong Kong, Australia, and for a Digital Payment Token (DPT) license in Singapore.

Meanwhile, the investments from GMO VenturePartners and Norinchukin Capital will accelerate Tazapay’s expansion into Japan.

Leveraging these partnerships, Tazapay will enable local Japanese payment methods for its global customer base and establish a dedicated sales team in Japan to help Japanese enterprises scale internationally.

The company also plans to further invest in modern payment rails such as real-time payments (RTP), ACH, and stable coins, delivering a future-ready payment experience for global businesses.

“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,” said Rahul Shinghal, Co-founder and Chief Executive Officer of Tazapay.

“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 stable coins in emerging markets,” he added.

The investments from Ripple and Circle, two of the world’s most prominent players in blockchain-based and stable coin-powered payments infrastructure, reinforce Tazapay’s role in connecting traditional finance with the evolving world of digital currencies, said the statement.

It is noted that Tazapay today has one of the widest Fiat collections network in emerging markets and these partnerships help it supercharge the network.

“The future of global payments depends on the seamless convergence of traditional and digital finance,

“Tazapay is a clear leader in building these essential, compliant last-mile connections, especially in emerging markets,” said Eric Jeck, Senior Vice President Corporate and Business Development at Ripple.

“We’re proud to invest in Tazapay in this next phase of their growth, and together provide best-in-class payment solutions in key regions such as Asia Pacific (APAC),” he added.

Tazapay provides seamless local collection and payout capabilities in over 70 markets, supporting a growing base of global enterprises and platforms across industries.

The firm processes more than $10 billion in annualized payment volume, has reached operational breakeven, and is growing at 300 percent year-over-year.

Its platform delivers comprehensive coverage across alternative payment methods, cards, virtual bank accounts , payouts and stable coins.

Combined with institutional-grade security and compliance across multiple jurisdictions, and a robust fiat bridge for stable coin settlements in emerging markets, Tazapay offers a solution for global businesses.

The firm’s infrastructure also supports high-trust, regulated cross-border payment solutions for business to business (B2B) marketplaces, platforms, and fintechs.

With strong institutional backing, deep fintech expertise, and a clear regulatory path, Tazapay said it is set to lead the transformation of cross-border payments — bridging the gap between traditional banking and the next era of compliant, borderless digital finance.
