As the first Indonesian company to get accepted into the fabled Y Combinator accelerator program, it’s no secret why payment gateway firm Xendit has been dubbed “the Stripe of Southeast Asia.”
According to Tech in Asia data, the company has raised over US$500 million in disclosed funding to date. On top of that, the platform recorded more than 200 million transactions over the last year, with a whopping US$15 billion in total payments value.
After its capital injection earlier this year, Xendit is eyeing to expand in Southeast Asia – specifically in Malaysia, Thailand, and Vietnam.
