We will expand our cross border payment and credit underwriting capabilities into other subcategories within the digital advertising ecosystem such as SSP's, DMP's, DSP's, ad-quality, viewability, ad-serving tech, apps, gaming, etc. We are local market experts who can solve the complexities so global ad tech companies can focus on their core businesses, and local advertisers can finance their ad tech needs.
