Winning global lighthouse accounts:

SWATCH, LIVE NATION, ESAF

We secured several critical lighthouse accounts demonstrating our ability to win trust and deliver value from the outset. With a talented and dedicated team, we built and launched a high-quality payment product under immense time pressure, delivering on schedule and without major incidents.

These efforts not only met our initial commitments but also transformed our first customers into long-term, trusted partners.

Achieving significant revenue growth the start

securing an ARR of more than USD 1.2m for 2024

From day one, we achieved significant revenue growth, reaching USD 1.7 million in just three years through strategic partnerships with customers in Europe and the US, all while building our payment platform. This success was driven by a clear focus on delivering value and meeting customer needs. Additionally, we secured long-term contracts that would have generated approximately USD 1.2m in Annual Recurring Revenue (ARR), solidifying a strong foundation for sustained growth.
