Rapyd Global Payments Platform

Rapyd is a global Fintech-as-a-Service (FaaS) platform that provides businesses with the infrastructure to integrate local payment methods, manage digital wallets, and conduct cross-border payouts. Originally founded in 2016 as a mobile payments company called CashDash, it evolved into a comprehensive financial network that enables digital businesses to accept payments via credit cards, bank transfers, e-wallets, and even cash through a single API and SDK.

As a software and financial services company, Rapyd does not have a single manufacturing location; however, its operations and engineering hubs are spread across several global locations. While the brand has its roots in Israel and continues to maintain a significant research and development presence in Tel Aviv, its corporate headquarters are located in London, United Kingdom. The company also operates major offices in Dubai, Singapore, and various other international markets to support its global payment network.

Ownership of Rapyd remains private, backed by a wide array of high-profile venture capital and private equity firms including BlackRock, Fidelity, and Target Global. In recent years, Rapyd has expanded its reach through strategic acquisitions, such as the purchase of Iceland-based Rapyd Europe (formerly Valitor) and the global payments business PayU. This aggressive expansion has positioned Rapyd as a leading infrastructure provider for global commerce, serving major clients like Uber, IKEA, and various gig-economy platforms.
