31 March 2023, MANILA, Philippines – NextPay, a homegrown financial technology startup out of Y Combinator Winter 2021, has achieved a significant milestone of processing P3.2 billion in digital transactions in 2022 since its 2020 launch.
The said milestone has a record-high increase of 200+% in user transactions in 2022 versus the previous year and has served 3,800 growing businesses in the platform with more than 32,000 employees and over 10,000 suppliers recorded.

As NextPay continues to break records, it is seeking to invite more strategic partners to further its mission of providing accessible and innovative financing services to underserved markets.
