A person’s success is not determined by their experiences. Suganthan Vishnu Krisnarajah, the creator of AptPay, is a living example of this; despite a rocky start, he has succeeded.
The reality is that people born into privilege benefit in today’s fast-paced and continuously changing environment. In recent years, the most successful people and company owners have benefited from a ‘head start’ of sorts. From financial aid, Ivy League educations, or a network of connections inherited from long established networks.
However, Kris, as he is well known, believes in the value of conquering hardship and has said boldly, “I symbolize the underdog who evolved into a wolf and made it; I want others to know that everything is possible.” Originally from Sri Lanka, he fled the civil war at the age of 18 and immigrated to Canada, aiming to make a better life for himself.
When he was running his check processing business, he noticed a number of fundamental flaws in the system. The labour-intensive and long procedures resulted in countless negative experiences for clients since the majority of them wanted to receive their funds much sooner than was actually possible. Obstacles such as these encouraged Kris to look at ways of bridging the gap.
He quickly came up with a novel solution to this major pain point. “I noticed how digital payments, such as those used in e-commerce, might assist to automate the order to cash process, and I questioned why we couldn’t have a comparable user experience for commercial disbursements?” AptPay, his idea, was founded not long after.
AptPay was founded with the sole purpose of providing faster payments and revolutionizing the way disbursements are made. The company’s fundamental objective is to democratize global digital disbursements by making them quicker, easier, and more secure. It connects payment systems across different countries acting as a as a global platform, making it easier and for technology firms, corporations, governments and the public to perform local and international transactions.
More individuals are resorting to digital money transfer services as a result of the pandemic, which saw the rise of business process outsourcing, and the emergence of cross-border trade via e-commerce – more people are turning to digital money transfer services.
With over 13 years of expertise in manual disbursements and check, Kris acquired his knowledge and ability to think outside the box at the coal face. He’s been there, he’s done it. Now, AptPay is unquestionably making waves in the realm of digital finance. Mastercard, for example, sees the venture’s worth and potential and has struck an exclusive partnership with them.
Despite being a relative newcomer to the market, AptPay has already achieved tremendous success, and the revolutionary platform is merely getting started. Kris intends to expand the brand and offer solutions for emerging leaders to move up in the near future. He also intends to take the firm public in due course.
