The company's successful two-decade of track record in its domestic market (India) and the successful launches in the Middle East provides the confidence to launch in one of the world's most developed digital commerce market i.e. USA.
The US is one of the most developed and competitive digital commerce market in the world. The growth of digital commerce has led to existence of a large number of digital payment solution providers in the region. The expansion of the mobile commerce industry, coupled with developed digital economy, are additional factors driving the US market. Other factors such as reliable broadband and network infrastructure, customer willingness and preference for cashless payments and banking economy are widely contributing to the country's higher rate of cashless transactions compared to other geographies.
Mr Vishal Mehta, MD, said, "US Market presents a trillion dollar digital payments processing opportunity. As part of our vision to change the way customers trade and transact globally through digitisation of commerce, we are committed to provide the best-in-class online digital payment solutions to merchants and customers in the US. Further, to strengthen our position in the region we will explore opportunities to partner and collaborate with large financial institutions including selective acquisitions to extend our digital payments solution reach to merchants and customers in the US."

After innovating and dominating the Indian and UAE markets, we are looking forward to launching our advanced real time payment gateway solutions in USA, which is a huge market with over 280 million electronic payment users doing over 450 transactions per capita per year."
