Overview
Tapi provides payment APIs for recurring bills, top-ups, and digital services across Latin America — enabling fintechs, banks, and merchants to offer consolidated bill payment inside their apps. The company raised a seed round led by Andreessen Horowitz and a $22M Series A in July 2024 led by Kaszek with a16z participation. Tapi reported roughly quadrupling payment volume year-over-year entering the Series A. The infrastructure aggregates thousands of billers that would otherwise require separate integrations per country and utility.
Why Tapi is interesting
LATAM bill pay is fragmented — a16z backed seed and participated in Kaszek-led $22M Series A as payment volume quadrupled YoY.

Competitive landscape
Edge: Single API across fragmented LATAM biller landscape — saves per-country integration teams for every fintech client.
LATAM fintech growth needs local payment utilities beyond cards. Tapi's risk is biller API changes and regulatory shifts per country — depth and reliability matter more than feature count.
