Why We Invest in Payment Platforms

Transactions are the cornerstone of financial services. Fintech combines the reliability of traditional systems with new technologies to offer convenience, affordability and accessibility. Subsectors like decentralised finance, embedded banking, and AI-driven underwriting offer financial products and software-as-a-service business models with good profit margins.

Investing in fintech also enables us to tap into massive digital transformation shifts and niche markets. While big institutional investors focus on multi-billion-dollar deals, we can focus on start-ups and highly specialised platforms working on specific areas within fintech services. These financial services often focus on targeted solutions for underserved groups, facilitating new technologies and new applications to traditional practices. Payment systems that facilitate quick, convenient and affordable cross-border transactions benefit both individuals and businesses.

Furthermore, fintech investments extend beyond capital. We invest in fintech companies that also prioritise research and development, mentorship and training, networking and collaboration.xample of this is Ripple Swell, an annual convening that brings together experts from around the world to discuss the future of blockchain and digital currencies. This approach resonates with our commitment to strategic partnerships and ensuring that their impact goes beyond profit and plays an active role in the future of finance.

Investing in fintech is an investment in transforming financial services and building the financial architecture of the future.
