Aurus

The story

Aurus was built as a payments infrastructure platform ('Platform as a Service') for mid-to-large retailers, enabling them to plug into 95+ payment processors across 25+ countries through a single, semi-integrated omnichannel layer. Rather than owning the acquiring relationship, Aurus positions itself as an abstraction layer above processors — allowing merchants to switch processors without re-integration. The company has expanded its footprint with marquee partnerships (Visa, J.P. Morgan) and a digital currency acceptance capability via Flexa, signaling a push toward future payment rails.
