Sarel Tal, VP, EMEA at Rapyd, said: The idea behind our full-stack offering is simple: provide companies with the capability to accept every major local payment method without having to expend resources to build complex payments infrastructure needed to power fintech and commerce applications as digital payments accelerate.

“By enabling both disparate local and global payment networks, we are able to provide businesses around the world a way to tap into the growing UK market quickly, while minimising operational costs and managing all local regulatory requirements. Rapyd’s integrated Fintech-as-a-Service platform and global payments network reduces this down to one, powerfully simple API.”
