Cross-Border Remittances and Global Payments

To deliver comprehensive cross-border payment solutions, M2P connects sending entities—such as exchange houses, banks, money transfer operators (MTOs), and fintechs—with last-mile disbursal partners in receiving countries. Operating through a single API integration, the platform simplifies global money movement while facilitating the deployment of multi-currency travel and forex cards.

The ecosystem simplifies merchant operations using no-code self-assisted or sales-assisted onboarding workflows, digitized KYC/AML checks, social sentiment analysis, and automated risk scoring. Merchants can accept payments across static or dynamic QR codes, payment links, subscription models, APIs, and SDKs using UPI, cards, internet banking, PayLater/BNPL, e-wallets, and multi-currency DCC options. Operational workflows are managed through digitized dispute resolution, offer engines, automated auto-recovery billing, and flexible settlement cycles, including on-demand and instant payouts. Comprehensive settlement and reconciliation capabilities feature real-time, delayed, and up to 4-way reconciliation alongside discrepancy management. Security operations remain paramount, backed by PCI DSS compliance, card tokenization, data encryption in transit and at rest, SSL firewalls, continuous transaction monitoring, and regular infrastructure security audits.
