iPay

What iPay does

iPay, operating under the legal name TransCash International Pty. Ltd., is an Australian-incorporated cross-border payments and remittance company founded in 2010. The company serves both consumers (C2C transfers to family, friends, and associates overseas) and businesses (B2B payroll management and invoicing) across more than 100 countries, supported by six offices in Australia (Sydney headquarters), the United States (New York), Singapore, South Korea (Seoul), Japan (Tokyo), and India (Bengaluru). iPay also trades under the brand names ISEND and ISEND GLOBAL.

The core platform is the proprietary HUB model, a single-API payment ecosystem connecting exchange houses, Money Service Businesses (MSBs), banks, and remittance operators for cross-border settlement. The product surface comprises three offerings: (1) International Money Transfer for consumer C2C, (2) Business Payment Services for B2B use cases including payroll and invoicing, and (3) Payment System Integration, which allows partners to embed iPay's rails into their own applications via API. A mobile app complements the web platform for consumer flows. The compliance infrastructure includes real-time KYC/CDD under a Risk-Based Approach, sanctions screening against global lists, identity verification through Australia's Document Verification Service under the Identity Verification Services Act 2023, and continuous transaction monitoring — all operated under Australian Financial Services License (AFSL 401180) from ASIC and AUSTRAC registration with full AML/CTF compliance.

iPay generates revenue primarily through per-transaction service fees combined with foreign exchange spreads on guaranteed local-currency payouts. Distribution is digital-first (website at ipayremit.com and mobile app) for consumer and SMB flows, and API-driven for enterprise and financial institution partners. No funding rounds, institutional investors, revenue figures, or headcount are disclosed in the available material; ownership appears founder/management-operated with no disclosed external backing.
