Taptap Send is a fintech startup providing mobile-based money transfer services to immigrant diaspora communities. The product launched in 2019 as a mobile app enabling low-cost transfers to recipients across Africa, Asia, and Latin America, with no fees in most corridors. The company is actively scaling geographic footprint (US, EU, and Latin America corridors), building data infrastructure (dbt-based financial models), and implementing compliance programs to manage regulatory and AML/CFT risks inherent in cross-border payments. Revenue model is transaction-based, optimizing for unit economics and capital efficiency while expanding market share in remittance corridors.
React Native and Kotlin for mobile, TypeScript and Python for backend, PostgreSQL for databases, and AWS infrastructure (ECS, EKS, Kubernetes) for deployment. dbt is used for financial modeling; Datadog is recently adopted for observability.
Taptap Send actively hires across 10 countries: United States, United Kingdom, Mexico, Colombia, UAE, Singapore, Vietnam, Nigeria, France, and Belgium, reflecting geographic expansion into key remittance corridors.
