“Can a single regulated infrastructure layer aggregate the world's local payment methods so that global PSPs never need to build or license them individually?”
PPRO was founded to solve the fragmentation problem in global local payment methods — enabling PSPs and acquirers to access hundreds of alternative payment methods (APMs) through a single API connection. The company positioned itself as infrastructure rather than consumer-facing, serving large PSPs like Stripe, Worldpay, and PayPal as white-label local payments rails. PPRO's embedded finance angle is B2B infrastructure: it removes the compliance, licensing, and integration burden of local payments from its PSP customers, operating as a regulated entity in both the UK and EU.
Ppro processes payments through PPRO (self-operated local payment method infrastructure).
Ppro is founded in 2006 and headquartered in London, United Kingdom.
Ppro has raised $463.5M in total (latest round: Series C, 2021; valuation: $1B+ (unicorn, 2021)).
