Exciting Opportunities for Senior ManagersAbout Tazapay

Tazapay is founded by 3 seasoned professionals with extensive experience in payments, ecommerce, technology, cross border trade and high growth technology businesses. The company is financially backed by the likes of Peak XV, Saison Capital, RTP Global etc.

We > are a Singapore-based b2b and payments startup enabling small and medium-sized businesses (SMBs) to conduct cross-border commerce securely. We believe the world will look very different after this pandemic, as it did after the second world war and the financial crisis of 2008. We foresee a gigantic acceleration towards digitalization. Especially in the B2B space which has lagged behind B2C peers. The pandemic will change that equation.

We are conscious of the challenges. The most iconic companies are often founded in times of such upheavals. We believe our odds are better because of the opportunity to configure ourselves at a very young stage for the new world without the pressure to defend existing revenue streams, head count balancing or pivoting the business model. We are better prepared to seize the opportunities this new world throws at us.
