According to its founder, Alex Capurro, "it is the ideal option to start selling quickly and easily in new markets, as it integrates the most used payment methods in each market, especially suitable for paying in local currency, with the confidence of local users".

This latest round, which has just closed, has been led by Alejandro Betancourt and Andreas Mihalovits.
