How Finance Works

Our Finance Capability is built on three key pillars, each designed to ensure accuracy, transparency, and compliance:

| Pillar

|

Purpose

| | --- | --- | |

Processing

|

Handles secure payment collection, settlements, and multi-currency flows, including both platform-collected and partner-collected payments

| |

Reconciliation

|

Calculates and distributes commissions, fees, and payouts automatically

| |

Reporting

|

Provides transparent, auditable financial records for all participants

|

Processing:
We manage the end-to-end flow of funds, ensuring every payment is collected, converted, and settled correctly.
This includes two primary scenarios:

  • Platform-Collected Payments: The consumer pays through our platform, and we distribute funds, commissions, and fees to all parties automatically.

  • Partner-Collected Payments: In some cases, the partner collects payment directly from the consumer. The partner then pays us our commission, and our system reconciles and records these flows to maintain accuracy and transparency.

Reconciliation:
Our automated systems calculate commissions, fees, and payouts for each party, regardless of currency or complexity.

Reporting:
Every transaction is logged and auditable, giving you and your partners full visibility and confidence.
