Payments shouldn't be slow, opaque, or fragmented. We built Zupay because we were tired of using the same clunky infrastructure everyone else was tolerating.
Founded in 2021 by fintech engineers frustrated with the status quo, Zupay was built with a single purpose: make payment infrastructure invisible. Fast, fair, and global by default — so builders can focus on building.
Today we process over $2B in payments every month for 8,000+ businesses across 90 countries. We're backed by tier-1 investors and growing 20% month over month.
Join our team →We ship fast, fix fast, and build infrastructure that runs fast. Slow is the enemy — in payments and in engineering.
No hidden fees. No fine print. Every rate, every policy, every status update is in plain sight. We trust our customers to make informed decisions.
Our customers are engineers, founders, and operators. We design every product decision with their workflow in mind, not a committee's checklist.
Money is global. We built Zupay to work everywhere from the start — not as an afterthought bolted on after US market fit.
Five nines isn't a goal — it's a minimum. We run incident reviews for every outage, no matter how small, and publish them publicly.
We're building something that matters. We celebrate wins with our team, then immediately ask what we can do better for our customers next.
