Cashfree, an Indian startup company that facilitates and processing more than 80 billion dollars to its customers every year, has collected $ 53 million in a new round of financing as it is preparing to deepen its presence in some international markets.
The two said on Wednesday that Krafton, the Sleeper Hit title maker like PUBG and BGMI, has led Cashfree’s Cashfree financing chain alongside the current investor application programming facades. The financing is estimated at the start of the eight -year -old, at $ 700 million, according to a source familiar with the conditions.
It is an extraordinary deal – a games company that invests in starting payments – but the two companies see the strategic value in the partnership. Sean Heunil Sun, who heads India’s business in India, said the giant is betting on the advanced media and entertainment sector in India, as strong payment systems have become decisive to enhance the user experience.
The Bangalore -based emerging company, which serves more than 800,000 companies, including prominent names such as Swiggy, Zepto and Bajaj Finance, has witnessed the merchant records rising by 130 % in the current fiscal year. The emerging company focuses on the expansion of the UAE markets and other Middle East markets.
Cashfree founders stumbled on payments by chance. In 2015, Akash Sinha and Reeju Datta began a basic service: helping to connect restaurants in Bangalore to collect cash from customers. It has not worked in payments before. But when their restaurant customers asked for online payment options, they discovered a more chance.
The first investors were not convinced. Many questioned the start of the payment processing quickly enough for importance. Ycombinator’s acceptance has changed this path, although the founders have missed the appointments of the application and were unable to reach the batch on time. Eight years later, Cashfree treats $ 80 billion annually for 800,000 companies.
Cashfree technology staple allows companies to process up to 12,000 transactions per second during the peak for order. The startup company has also developed SECUREID, an identity verification system that has led to more than a billion verification so far, helping companies to combat fraud while reducing customer decline during navigation.
Cashfree is one of the first companies to receive a mandate from the Central Bank of India to work as a payment complex for both local and international transactions. The startup, which was embraced by PayPal, calculates Y Combinator and the State Bank in India among its former supporters.
