Tapaya
Turn any device into a payment terminal
About
Founded in 2025 and based in Prague, Tapaya develops payment infrastructure that enables banks, FinTechs, and software platforms to accept in-person card payments by transforming everyday devices into payment terminals through software. The startup’s business model focuses on embedding its software-based payment acceptance solution into other platforms to simplify and expand in-person payment capabilities, lowering entry barriers for merchants and financial institutions. Tapaya raised €1 million ($1.17 million) in a pre-seed round led by Passion Capital with participation from Depo Ventures and BADideas.fund.
