Cross border payments for Indian SMEs. Avoids the multi-bank hopping of an international transaction that happens in the SWIFT system, which leads to multiple fees, by enabling direct transactions between Infinity's partner banks in India and abroad. This can reduce fees by 70%. Also enables SMEs to earn interest on idle cash through investment in government securities. Bengaluru based, the founders are siblings. $1.9M pre-seed round.
