Salary benchmarks
Our take
PPRO is making online payments easier for everyone. The start-up offers a set of APIs for eCommerce companies to integrate into their checkouts enabling them to accept payments in the preferred local methods and currencies of their customers.
The company is desirable as it offers a service that is ready to use. Customers don’t have to manually identify and integrate payment methods, providing a quick, simple and seamless experience. Whilst there are other players in this game, including Rapyd and Mambu, not only does PPRO have impressive customers like PayPal, but with the eCommerce market becoming increasingly active, there is space for multiple fintech start-ups to thrive.
Indeed, PPRO’s services have found a prominent space in the market with a recent valuation of over $1 billion. After acquiring payments company Alpha Fintech, PPRO is extending its reach to Asia Pacific, connecting with India's Unified Payment Interface in 2023. PPRO now offers a plug-and-play layer allowing customers to integrate services even faster and at scale.
