Fintech - Payments
Switch Payments connects the entire payments value chain through a single software platform.
Born from Glazed, Switch successfully spun off and achieved an exit, demonstrating Glazed's expertise in tackling Fintech's complex challenges, nurturing product startups from the ground up, and designing future-proof software architectures.
Glazed possesses a wealth of experience in crafting successful MVPs and groundbreaking products, guiding startups from seed funding to series IPOs. Bootstrapping Switch, a testament to Glazed's team's expertise in intricate domains like Fintech, exemplifies their ability to identify and develop impactful solutions.
• Incubated at Glazed, the project startup was later spun off, grew a team of 60 people, and ultimately achieved a successful exit. • Created the main gateway architecture and payment method abstraction. The abstracted flow supported multiple steps to collect authentication data and capture funds, handling offline actions by the customer or redirecting to payment providers' web pages, and providing synchronous or asynchronous responses.
• Integrated with over 20 card and alternative payment methods providers • Developed REST and Real-time APIs and SDKs in Python, Java, Objective C, and PHP. • Developed Switch’s website, merchant dashboard, documentation page and support platform. • Successfully underwent PCI DSS certification, employing secure development practices and infrastructure hardening.
It was a fantastic experience working with Glazed. Their specialised know-how and deep understanding of our tech stack made them an invaluable partner for us.
