Thunes Tech Stack

Global payment network connecting mobile wallets, banks, and alternative payment methods

Financial Services Singapore 201–500 employees Founded 2016 Privately Held

Thunes operates a direct-to-institution payment network spanning 130+ countries and 80+ currencies, with direct connectivity to 7 billion mobile wallets and bank accounts plus 15 billion cards across 320+ payment methods. The stack is production-focused (Go, PostgreSQL, Kubernetes, Prometheus) with governance tooling (World-Check, compliance platform) built in—reflecting a compliance-first architecture essential for cross-border payments. Engineering and sales are balanced (15 and 19 roles respectively), but notable hiring in legal, ops, and compliance suggests the company is scaling regulatory coverage faster than product velocity.
