Launched in 2019, Taptap is tapping into a transformative shift in global finance: from banks to phones.

With a formal market size of >700B alone, we’ve got a lot more saving to do for our users. Our mission is to reduce inequity by helping immigrants move money home, and become the leading cross-border fintech for emerging markets. And that’s just the beginning...
