","body":"Hey YC community, we’re Rohit and team from **Decentro (YC S20)**, a full‑stack banking and payments API player from India.\n\nOver the last few years, we’ve helped thousands of businesses plug into Indian banking, KYC, and payments infrastructure with simple APIs; now we’re extending that to global payments with our new **GIFT‑based PSP** and cross‑border collection stack.\n\n## **The problem – global money in \u0026amp; out**\n\nIf you’re a trade finance player, marketplace, or fintech scaling globally, you probably live in some version of this mess:\n\n* Multiple PSPs and bank partners across countries, each with different compliance, FX, and payout rules.\n* Long, opaque onboarding cycles for cross‑border flows.\n* Fragmented reporting across acquirers, currencies, and entities, making reconciliation and compliance audits painful.\n* A fast‑moving regulatory environment (IFSCA, FEMA, local regimes) where a misstep can mean blocked flows or penalties.\n\nThis slows down companies that should be focusing on building products and acquiring customers, not chasing bank RM emails and interpreting circulars.\n\n## **What we’re building – a compliant global PSP rail via GIFT**\n\nWe’ve become one of the first Indian payment aggregators to receive a final PSP license from IFSCA at GIFT City, and we’re wrapping that into a developer‑first global payments platform.\n\nAt a high level, here’s how it works:\n\n* Single API / dashboard to collect global payments: Accept from international customers via cards, local methods, and bank transfers across multiple currencies, and settle into GIFT City or onshore INR.\n* Built‑in compliance and reporting: We abstract GIFT City PSP rules, documentation, and transaction reporting so finance and compliance teams get ready‑to‑use exports and views.\n* Faster settlement and better visibility: Unified ledgers and payout flows across corridors and partners, with clear T+ timelines, FX details, and status notifications.\n* Modular APIs: Use us just as a cross‑border collection layer, or plug into the broader Decentro stack (KYC, domestic payouts, banking APIs) if you want a full‑stack infra partner.\n\n## **Why we started working on this**\n\nAt Decentro, we began by solving for domestic Indian banking and payments APIs after running into fragmentation and long integrations at our previous companies.\n\nAs our customers scaled, the same questions kept coming up:\n\n* “Can you help us collect from global customers and settle into our desired currency?”\n* “Is there a compliant way to route this via GIFT City without adding three more partners?”\n\n## **How it works – product flow**\n\nHere’s a typical integration:\n\n1. Configure your entity and use case (SaaS, marketplace, B2B payments, etc.) in our console, including purpose codes and underlying documentation.\n2. Integrate our hosted checkout or APIs to start accepting payments in supported currencies and methods from your customers.\n3. We route funds through our GIFT PSP stack, run compliance checks, and handle FX and settlements into your designated accounts.\n4. Your finance and compliance teams use our dashboard and webhooks for reconciliation, returns, chargebacks, and regulatory reporting.\n\n## Here’s a walkthrough video - \u003chttps://youtu.be/FYXg5-KSg-8\u003e\n\nIf you’re:\n\n* A SaaS or B2B company selling globally and settling into India.\n* A marketplace, fintech, or infra company that needs compliant cross‑border rails via GIFT City.\n* Or an existing YC company that wants to expand to Indian or India‑linked flows.\n\nWe’d love to chat.\n\n* Website: \u003chttps://tinyurl.com/decentro-yc-launch\u003e\n* Global PSP product page: [**https://decentro.tech/global/gift-psp**](https://decentro.tech/global/gift-psp)\n* YC founder: Rohit (Founder \u0026amp; CEO, Decentro – YC S20)\n\nComment here, or reach out and mention “Integrate YC PSP” so we can prioritize your onboarding and, if relevant, help you navigate the GIFT / IFSCA side as well.\n\nCheers!","slug":"Qux-decentro-goes-global-multi-currency-payment-collections","created_at":"2026-06-25T19:24:52.100Z","updated_at":"2026-07-22T03:37:17.375Z","total_vote_count":27,"url":"https://www.ycombinator.com/launches/Qux-decentro-goes-global-multi-currency-payment-collections","share_image_url":"//bookface-static.ycombinator.com/assets/ycdc/yc-og-image-c440a0ad1dacfb86eeeb343717479cc54d256614449b4ef719977a0a451f8bc8.png","company":{"id":22003,"name":"Decentro","slug":"decentro","url":"https://decentro.tech","logo":"https://bookface-images.s3.amazonaws.com/small_logos/26546d4be80e83088bea9fc9e77f6aa3cd234174.png","batch":"Summer 2020","industry":"B2B","tags":["Banking as a Service","Fintech","API"],"search_path":"https://bookface.ycombinator.com/company/22003"}}
