What Xendit does

Xendit is a Southeast Asian payment infrastructure company, founded in 2015 in Jakarta, Indonesia, that operates a single-API platform connecting 10,000+ businesses to 100+ payment methods and 450+ destination banks and e-wallets across Indonesia, the Philippines, Malaysia, Thailand, Vietnam, Singapore, and Hong Kong, with a Latin America launch underway in late 2025. The platform is built on direct integrations with local rails (cards, e-wallets, virtual accounts, direct debit, QR, retail outlets, and PayLater) and runs licensed payment institution operations under Bank Indonesia, Bangko Sentral ng Pilipinas, Bank Negara Malaysia (via the October 2025 Payex acquisition), Bank of Thailand, and the Monetary Authority of Singapore as a Major Payment Institution; it reports 99.999% payment uptime and 99.9% of automated payouts processed within 15 minutes.

The product surface spans acceptance (Payments, Payment Links, Subscriptions, POS Terminal), disbursement (Batch Payouts, Automated Payouts, Payout Links, Cross Border), risk and identity (Fraud Detection with adaptive ML, Identity Verification with OCR/liveness), marketplace orchestration (XenPlatform), business operations (Treasury across 17 currencies, Expense Management, Apollo Corporate Cards, Business Banking, Early Settlement), embedded finance (Banking-as-a-Service, E-Money-as-a-Service), and merchant financing (XenCapital, which has disbursed over US$700 million since 2021 and benefits from a US$50 million Helicap credit facility). Xendit monetizes primarily through transaction-based Merchant Discount Rates plus fixed fees that vary by method (international cards 4.0% + US$0.30; e-wallets 2.70% + US$0.15; direct debit 2.13% + US$0.60; virtual accounts 0.5% + US$0.20; PayLater 6.0%), supplemented by local and cross-border payout fees (US$1 and US$5 plus FX margin), XenPlatform SaaS-like fees (US$1.50 per active sub-account per month plus a 0.63% capped in-house fee), a US$5,000 one-time per-entity setup fee, FX spread, and lending interest income. Go-to-market combines self-serve product-led onboarding (5-minute free sign-up, public API docs, plug-ins for Shopify/WooCommerce/Magento/Wix) with enterprise field sales supported by Salesforce CRM, ecosystem accelerator programs (e.g., Selangor Retail-X with Affin Bank, AEON, TikTok Shop, DHL, MATRADE), and embedded partnerships via Banking-as-a-Service. Named customers include Meta, Samsung, Starbucks, TikTok (ByteDance), Allianz, Traveloka, Grab, Levi's, Shopee, tiket.com, RedDoorz, Mekari, IFG Life, Qoala, Kargo, VCGamers, Bakmi GM, BookMyShow, Megatix, and Berrybenka, with disclosed usage outcomes such as a 198% improvement in credit card acceptance for a global wellness platform, 95%+ nighttime payment success at VCGamers, and 5x faster reconciliation at Mekari.
