about pingpong

Breaking down barriers in cross-border trade

Money moves around the world every second of every day. At PingPong, we believe something so commonplace, so essential to business operations—such as sending funds to a supplier or making payments to your employees—shouldn’t be so complicated. But it often is.

That’s where we come in. PingPong’s purpose is to empower enterprises to grow globally and send, receive, and manage money with ease.

PingPong is dedicated to advancing the world of digital commerce and building long-lasting financial partnerships with global corporations, big and small.

How we got our start

PingPong’s journey began when CEO Robert Chen—armed with an MA in Mathematics and years of experience at the world’s top financial institutions—discovered the immense challenges e-commerce businesses faced when trying to expand globally.

Established in 2015 in New York by a team of close friends and professionals, PingPong was created with a mission to empower enterprises to expand globally, reach more customers, and keep more of their earnings.

With nearly a decade under its belt, PingPong has thrived, serving 1+ million customers, obtaining 55 financial licences, and facilitating $150+ billion USD in transactions.
