The Workflow Friction

Fintech startups, cross-border payment providers, and SMEs in Southeast Asia. Cross-border payment rails between India (UPI) and Indonesia (QRIS) are fragmented, requiring manual reconciliation and high fees. SMEs lose $3B+ annually due to inefficiencies, while regulators push for seamless integration to boost trade. Businesses incur 3-5% transaction fees and 2-5 day settlement delays. Indonesian exporters lose $1.5B/year in missed trade with India due to payment friction.
