On average, our TPV (Total Payment Volume) is growing **43% week over week**, and our user base is growing **27% week over week**. Along the way we’ve sat down with **country leaders, large companies and central bank governors** – all sharing a common excitement around SpotPay and the future of global payments. We’re just getting started!\n\n![uploaded image](/media/?type=post\u0026id=98487\u0026key=user_uploads/2963544/30c07567-701e-4b46-a7ff-a7d61fffc8aa)\n\n**Hey, we’re Zsika and Thomas.**\n\nWe kept noticing the same thing through our lived experience. Modern financial tools continue to feel like a privilege reserved for the rich world. Even with the recent increase in remittance providers, most “innovation” simply stops at the sender side — while the receiver is still stuck with legacy ways of collecting, spending, and managing money.\n\nSo we’re building SpotPay to change that.\n\n* SpotPay provides every user with a **verified wallet** that’s tied to their real identity. That foundation lets us issue a **SpotPay Credit Card** and integrate seamlessly with **Apple Pay / Google Pay** — even for users who don’t have a bank account in their home country.\n* SpotPay also allows merchants to **accept QR code payments** – avoiding the high card processing fees and gaining access to instant payment settlements since all SpotPay payments are settled on the blockchain. For SMBs, instant settlement often means they can utilize revenue from their sales up to **24 hours faster** than they would using traditional finance and maintain healthy cash flows as a result.\n\n**Who is SpotPay for?**\n\nEveryone.\n\nWe believe everyone deserves access to modern financial tools — **especially the hundreds of millions** of people around the world who are still unbanked or underbanked.\n\nBecause SpotPay verifies each user with their real identity, you **do not need a traditional bank account to use it**.\n\nImagine sending money to your aunt in another country, and within seconds she can tap her phone to pay for coffee at a local café.\n\nNow imagine this and countless similar scenarios multiplied across 40+ countries around the world. These are the kinds of early use cases we are already seeing.\n\nWe believe that a person’s financial life should not depend on where they live, or what banking system they happen to inherit. We’re building SpotPay to make modern money a reality for everyone, everywhere.\n\n![uploaded image](/media/?type=post\u0026id=98487\u0026key=user_uploads/2963544/2f7bcb62-c7e0-49c8-93d3-bae98ef6c830)\n\n**About Us:**\n\n**Zsika** previously worked as a tech lead and PM at **Google** on several products including **YouTube Monetization, Ads Monetization, and Google Cloud**.
