Our take
Managing payments can be difficult and time-consuming for many businesses. Rapyd solves this problem by allowing companies to make and accept payments by any method, wherever they are.
The B2B payments market is home to a number of big-name players, including PayPal and Stripe. However, Rapyd has managed to launch and scale successfully within this highly competitive market, and is now valued at around $15 billion. This success is partly down to Rapyd's extensive range of services, which include fraud detection and mobile wallets.
Rapyd is set to leverage its momentum and impressive funding to expand further into markets such as the US. It's 2022 $610M acquisition of PayU is accelerating its expansion across emerging markets in Central and Eastern Europe, alongside this, its 2025 funding round of nearly $400M sees the company set to continue its growth and acquisition spree.
