FairPay: Hyper-Localized Payment Processing For LATAM, Africa, And Southeast Asia
FairPay is a payment service provider that supports merchant pay-ins and payouts through a single software platform and API integration. It is positioned around hyper-localized payment acceptance in Latin America, with additional coverage in parts of Southeast Asia and Africa.
FairPay Overview For Merchants
FairPay provides payment processing services to merchants (businesses offering goods and services) so end users can make payments to the merchant.

Merchants also designate a bank account to receive settlements.
Key elements of the service model include:
- A merchant account within FairPay’s software platform
- Pay-in processing for customer payments
- Payout functionality initiated by the merchant
- A single integration path that includes an API option
- Coverage focused on emerging markets with local payment options
