With this investment and the addition of Justin Fan, we are confident that we can tap into the immense B2B payment opportunities in the Asian market and drive sustainable growth for the company.“
Klasha focuses on providing seamless cross-border B2B payment solutions between Asia and Africa through its virtual multi-currency accounts, collection, payout APIs, and cross-border wire services.
