Expert Review of Payswix

This is an image


“Payswix sees its role as a one-stop payment solution, offering a variety of services under one roof for industries and businesses of all sizes. In my opinion, it has all the makings to strengthen its position as a highly competitive electronic money institution in the region. Still, the company has much to improve, take, for instance, it's business onboarding procedure.

However, looking at the company from another angle, one may notice some of the successful steps it has already taken. Being at the center of the Fintech industry development, Payswix acknowledged the importance of establishing close partnerships and expanding the network by introducing the Agent program. This, along with the ongoing development of new products, the company's financial statements of previous years, its roadmap, and the extensive experience of the team, could reflect well in expanding the company's market share in 2022.“
