How it started

E-commerce has come a long way since the first online purchase in 1994. But not far enough.

One where 8 billion people can take part in global commerce

After 30 years of online payments, the financial industry has not yet crossed all borders. Hundreds of millions of people are cut off from making or receiving online payments outside their home market.

We're here to help you change that - extending your reach into new geographies as we build towards a more connected future.

Hello and welcome!

We are 8B! We believe that everyone, no matter where they are, should be able to participate in global commerce. And yet, after 30 years of global e-commerce, there are still parts of the world where businesses and their customers can’t transact with each other. That’s because hard-to-reach markets are, well, hard to reach.

That’s why we’ve made it our mission to specialize in local payment methods, especially in high-potential places that are often overlooked. By expanding payment options, expanding payment options, we’re helping businesses grow their cross-border presence, and enable people to participate in global commerce.
‍
I’m proud of our team who share this passion and are dedicated to delivering real results for our clients, partners, and each other. Every month, we are adding new payment methods to make even the most difficult markets a little easier to connect with.

Thank you for taking the time to learn about us. We’d love to learn more about your experience and goals for cross-border transactions, and look forward to the possibility of working together.

Warm regards, Sikander Hauser
Chief Executive Officer 8B
