PingPong Payments: The 1% Idea That Grew a Payment Network
PingPong began by helping online sellers keep more of their money. Its next wager is that the most useful payment company lives inside the software businesses already use.
Trustap
Trustap is an Irish fintech that provides escrow-style, milestone-based payment infrastructure for online marketplaces, ecommerce platforms and individuals. Acting as the merchant of record, it holds a buyer's funds until goods or services are confirmed as delivered, then releases them to the seller - reducing fraud, chargebacks and disputes for high-value and peer-to-peer transactions. Founded in Cork in 2017 by Conor Lyden after he was scammed buying football tickets, the company now works with 250+ partners across roughly 27 countries and is building Trustap Index, a product that makes marketplace listings machine-readable and transactable by AI shopping agents.
Dots
Dots is a San Francisco-based global payouts infrastructure company that lets marketplaces, platforms, and service businesses pay workers, sellers, and creators anywhere through a single end-to-end API. One integration unifies bank transfers, PayPal, Venmo, Cash App, and stablecoins, and bundles recipient onboarding, KYC/anti-fraud, and tax form collection so platforms can move money to over 1 million payees across 190+ countries without building payment rails themselves.
Xendit
Xendit is a Southeast Asian payments infrastructure company that lets businesses accept, process, and disburse money across Indonesia, the Philippines, Malaysia, and the wider region through a single API. Founded in 2015 and the first Indonesian company backed by Y Combinator, it handles virtual accounts, e-wallets, cards, QR codes, payouts, and fraud prevention for startups, marketplaces, and global enterprises expanding into the region.
Finix
Finix is a San Francisco-based payments infrastructure company that gives software platforms, marketplaces, and retailers the tools to own their payments end-to-end. Built around a no-code/low-code PayFac-as-a-Service model and a developer-friendly API, Finix lets SaaS companies monetize payments, manage merchants, and route money across cards, ACH, and wallets without becoming a registered payment facilitator themselves.
