with Sarel Tal, VP EMEA at Rapyd.
The rise of remote work has created significant market development in the global payments industry. Companies and individuals are looking for efficient payment solutions that span multiple jurisdictions and currencies, and that can also be deployed at scale.
Founded in 2016, Rapyd is the world’s largest local payments network and is on a mission to “power frictionless global commerce”. Most recently, the API-based Fintech-as-a-Service platform raised $300 million in funding, after quadrupling their revenue in 2020. Raypd’s accelerated growth has expedited payments and created global opportunities for businesses to enter new markets. They serve a current client base that includes over 5000 businesses including eCommerce, tech companies and marketplaces.
The State Of Work welcomes Rapyd’s VP of EMEA Sarel Tal to the podcast. Maddie and Sarel chat about global payroll trends, the technology behind Rapyd and why commercial and financial interactions have grown exponentially as a result of COVID-19.
