Xendit Secures $150 Million Series C to Build Out Digital Payment Infrastructure Across Southeast Asia

Xendit, the fastest growing payments infrastructure for Southeast Asia, today announced a $150 million Series C that elevated the company to a short list of Southeast Asia unicorns. The round was led by Tiger Global Management with participation from existing investor Accel, Amasia, and Justin Kan’s Goat Capital.

With the latest investment, Xendit plans to continue innovating their product suite, with sights on expansion into select countries across Southeast Asia. The region presents a particularly compelling backdrop for innovation and disruption, with 70 percent of the region's 580 million people now online. In 2021, the region’s digital economy will exceed US$100 billion and is projected to triple to more than US$300 billion by 2025.

“We’re seeing an incredible shift to digital first. Whether the business is a small Instagram shop or Southeast Asia’s largest enterprises, it’s now clear that businesses need to have a digital presence,” said Moses Lo, co-founder and CEO, Xendit. “Xendit’s digital payments infrastructure enables the region’s new class of entrepreneurs to start and scale their payments faster, and supercharges larger companies with modern, world-class financial services. What AWS has done for Compute, Xendit is doing for payments.”

By building hyper-localized products in a region with over 23,000 islands and a broad diversity of customer needs, Xendit has been able to build first-in-market products, provide unparalleled customer service, and quickly adapt to a dynamic region.

“At Xendit we’ve seen more than 200 percent year-over-year increase in total payments volume across Indonesia and the Philippines, continuing our track record of more than 10 percent month-over-month growth since our inception,” said Tessa Wijaya, co-founder and COO, Xendit. “Our new status as a unicorn will help strengthen the mission we initially set out to achieve - to provide reliable and secure financial infrastructure to millions of businesses across Southeast Asia, allowing them to grow and thrive in the burgeoning digital economy.”

Xendit is providing a solution to Southeast Asia’s specific reliability and infrastructure hurdles by expanding access to technologies that create an equal playing field, and enabling businesses and people in the region to scale and thrive. Following their success in Indonesia, Xendit entered the Philippines and - within a year - has become one of the largest payments players in the Philippines.

“Xendit’s digital payments infrastructure, built specifically for Southeast Asia, is quickly becoming the standard for financial operations in the region,” said Alex Cook, Partner, Tiger Global Management. “By providing a reliable and secure payment gateway, Xendit has created an on-ramp to the digital economy for businesses across the region. We are excited to partner with Xendit as they continue to scale.”

Xendit announced in March a Series B led by Accel. The company has now raised a total of $238 million since 2015. Xendit was also the first Indonesian tech startup to pass through the acclaimed incubator YCombinator and is the top Southeast Asian company on the YC Top 100 list.

“Xendit is at the forefront of digital transformation in Southeast Asia, providing businesses of all sizes with much needed and essential digital payments infrastructure,” said Ryan Sweeney, partner at Accel. “With this fresh round of funding and a milestone valuation, Xendit has earned the credibility needed for long term success and is inspiring the next generation of unicorns in Southeast Asia. We believe Xendit will thrive in the region.”
