Indonesia-based payment platform company Xendit aims at Southeast Asia expansion after it netted $150m from its latest funding round.

The Series C funding round was led by Tiger Global Management with participation from existing investors Accel, Amasia, and Goat Capital, Xendit said in a statement on Tuesday.

The latest funding comes just six months after Xendit concluded its Series B fund raising. The company, founded in 2015, has so far raised a total of $238m.

Addressing region’s fragmented payment system

Xendit aims to address the fragmented payment landscape in Southeast Asia, accepting payments from virtual accounts, credit and debit cards, e-wallets, retail outlets, and online instalments. Xendit’s clients range from small digital merchants to major tech-firms such as ride-hailing Grab, Traveloka, and Transferwise.

“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 Xendit CEO and co-founder Moses Lo.
