We are proud to continue this trend by launching Move Money Payment API. This new solution will enable the digitisation of payment flows for our valued clients through real-time integration using robust end-to-end API connectivity. It will eliminate manual data entry delays and errors thanks to enhanced data security. We are proud to partner with ShopUp, Bangladesh’s leading business-to-business e-commerce start-up, which recently secured one of the largest foreign investments in series B funding.”
