iPiD, the global leader in payee verification — or Know Your Payee (KYP) — for cross-border payments, today announced a strategic partnership with Tazapay, a leading regulated cross-border payment infrastructure provider. Tazapay gives businesses everything they need to make payments globally. Through this integration, Tazapay will embed iPiD’s payee verification capability directly into its platform, so that the businesses it serves can validate payment destinations before funds move.
Tazapay has established itself as the go-to platform for businesses that want to operate across borders without building the complexity themselves. Rather than stitching together local banking relationships, payment methods, and compliance frameworks market by market, Tazapay’s clients get it all in one place: local collection and payouts across 70+ markets, multi-jurisdiction licensing, alternative payment methods, virtual accounts, and stablecoin-to-fiat settlement, backed by a compliance framework that meets institutional standards. The platform serves over 1,000 enterprises and fintechs across 30 countries, processing billions of dollars in annualised payment volume. Knowing who receives a payment is the natural next layer of that value proposition.
Tazapay selected iPiD for its independence, global coverage, and accuracy. iPiD’s single-API model provides real-time account validation and beneficiary name matching across markets and payment schemes, without the overhead of managing multiple local integrations. For a platform like Tazapay where reliability and regulatory confidence are non-negotiable, the ability to verify payees at scale, across jurisdictions, makes iPiD a natural fit for the infrastructure layer.
The partnership also positions both companies for the next frontier of cross-border payments. Tazapay’s platform already bridges fiat and stablecoin settlement, serving a growing base of web3 companies and enterprises that rely on digital-native rails for emerging market corridors. As stablecoin-to-fiat flows scale globally, a direction underscored by Tazapay’s recent Series B extension led by Circle Ventures, with participation from Coinbase Ventures and CMT Digital — the ability to verify the recipient of a payment before settlement becomes even more critical. Accurate, real-time payee verification is essential on digital rails as it is on traditional ones.
“Tazapay has solved something genuinely difficult in giving any business access to the full complexity of global payments through a single platform. When you’re operating at that scale and across that many markets, trust in who gets paid cannot be an afterthought. That’s what iPiD brings to this partnership — and why we’re proud to be part of the infrastructure that helps businesses go global with confidence,” said Damien Dugauquier, Co-Founder & CEO of iPiD.
Aayush Singhania, Chief Product Officer added: "Businesses that come to Tazapay want to move money across borders without compromise. Integrating iPiD means we can now add payee verification to that promise, so our clients know the payment is going to the right place before it moves."
Tazapay’s clients can now access real-time beneficiary verification as part of their existing Tazapay integration. iPiD’s verification layer works across the payment corridors where Tazapay operates, providing consistent coverage without additional integration work for Tazapay’s client base.
