Tazapay has secured a $36 million Series B extension led by Circle Ventures, a raise that reinforces investor appetite for regulated infrastructure built around faster and more compliant cross-border payments. Announced from Singapore the financing highlights growing interest in digital settlement rails as enterprises and fintechs look for alternatives to slower, more expensive international payment channels.
The company said the new capital comes after three straight years of doubled revenue and the expansion of its client base to more than 1,000 enterprises across 30 countries. That operating backdrop gives the round more weight, suggesting investors are backing not just the payments theme broadly, but Tazapay’s execution within it.
A strategic round centered on regulated payment infrastructure
Circle Ventures led the extension, while new participation from CMT Digital and Coinbase Ventures added further validation from firms with deep exposure to digital-asset infrastructure. The round also included support from existing backers and strategic investors such as Ripple, Norinchukin Capital, ARC180, RTP Global, Peak XV Partners, January Capital and GMO Venture Partners.
Circle framed the investment as a bet on the practical layer of stablecoin-enabled payments rather than on speculative growth alone. Brian Schultz, Vice President at Circle Ventures, said enterprise adoption depends on infrastructure that is both regulated and operationally reliable, underscoring why Tazapay’s fiat-linked settlement capabilities were central to the deal.
Tazapay said it will use the proceeds to scale across higher-growth corridors in Asia, Latin America and the Middle East, while also investing further in its digital settlement stack. The company is also using the raise to support a broader regulatory buildout across key jurisdictions, including the United States, the United Arab Emirates, Hong Kong, Australia and Singapore.
Expansion now depends on licensing, reach and execution
Beyond geographic expansion, Tazapay is also preparing for a more automated payments environment. The company said it plans to develop infrastructure for so-called agentic payments, a model built around autonomous and rules-driven transaction flows layered on top of licensed payment rails. That signals an ambition to move beyond simple cross-border transfers and into programmable payment orchestration.
Kanupriya Sharda, Tazapay’s Chief Business Officer, said the company is seeing clear demand from enterprises and fintechs seeking speed, cost efficiency and regulatory certainty, which helps explain why the firm is focusing as much on licensing and compliance as on product expansion. Reporting around the raise also noted that tax and compliance issues, including capital gains implications, remain under close watch as the company grows.
The funding now puts Tazapay in a position to deepen last-mile fiat access and strengthen its role as a regulated bridge for digital settlement in the markets where it secures licenses. The next test is whether that infrastructure can convert investor confidence into durable market share across fragmented cross-border payment corridors.
