Organization
RYVYL Inc. (“RYVYL”) is a financial technology company that develops software platforms and tools that are focused on providing global payment acceptance and disbursement capabilities. RYVYL’s strategy is rooted in our mission to transform the global payments landscape through technology-driven, customer-centric, and compliance-focused financial solutions. Our first-generation product, QuickCard, was originally developed to facilitate payment processing for predominantly cash-based businesses in certain niche high-risk business verticals. It was a comprehensive physical and virtual payment card processing management system that offered a cloud-based network interface, merchant management, and point-of-sale (POS) connectivity to facilitate noncash payment methods such as credit cards, debit cards and prepaid gift cards, and to subsequently disburse those funds electronically to merchants upon request. In early 2024, in response to evolving changes in the compliance environment and banking regulations, the Company began transitioning QuickCard to a fully virtual, app-based product. In mid-2024, the Company further transitioned its QuickCard product from a direct offering to a licensing model, whereby partners with more suitable compliance capabilities could license the platform from the Company and offer its payments processing capabilities in the same business verticals the Company previously served directly.
As the global fintech industry continues to evolve, it has become evident that there is a need for a fully integrated platform that can seamlessly support multiple types of offerings on a global scale. We believe our second-generation platform, NEMS Core, provides a compelling solution to fill that product void. As a dual-sided platform, NEMS Core is designed to support both acquiring and disbursement services within a unified infrastructure. This end-to-end platform enables businesses to seamlessly accept payments from customers while efficiently distributing funds to vendors, employees, and partners worldwide. Unlike traditional single-function payment systems that often face limitations in adapting to dynamic market demands, RYVYL’s dual-sided platform offers a flexible, agile, and robust architecture. It streamlines the entire transaction lifecycle, from payment initiation to settlement, providing businesses with a competitive advantage in an increasingly interconnected and digital financial environment.
The Company operates through distinct business segments designed to meet the diverse and evolving needs of global markets. Our business is strategically structured around two primary geographic regions - Europe and North America - each offering complementary product and service portfolios that encompass payment processing, treasury management, acquiring, issuing, and Electronic Money Institution (“EMI”) services. Our business segments are interconnected through shared technology platforms, unified compliance frameworks, and collaborative global partnerships. This integration enables us to capitalize on synergies across regions, optimize resource allocation, and drive innovation that resonates across all markets in which we operate.
