That’s exactly what happened to one fintech startup. Starting locally, they migrated to Way4 and built a fast, digital merchant onboarding process. This foundation enabled the company to quickly scale and enter the global e-commerce space, offering omnichannel acquiring, dynamic multi-currency pricing, API-driven settlement, and online accounting—all powered by a single platform. Their merchant onboarding speeded up by 50x, and their CAGR exceeded 40%. In just a few years, they caught the eye of a major buyer, and closed a $575 million.
Fast onboarding on Way4 wasn’t just a feature. It was a strategic game-changer!
