## About SGW
SGW Payment is a payment orchestration and Finance-as-a-Service platform built for online businesses expanding across international markets. Through a single SDK and API integration, merchants connect to a network of payment providers and acquiring banks, with each transaction routed to the provider most likely to approve it. The platform supports smart routing, recurring billing, retry logic, chargeback management, tokenization, automated reconciliation, fraud detection, and analytics within a single technology stack. Beyond the technology layer, SGW handles the operational side of payments on behalf of clients. This includes setting up and managing merchant accounts (MIDs) across multiple PSPs, negotiating processing fees, managing relationships with acquiring banks, and running downstream finance operations such as settlement reconciliation, multi-currency treasury, and reporting. Clients receive a unified payments stack ready to operate rather than having to integrate and manage multiple providers themselves. For businesses entering new countries, SGW provides an end-to-end international expansion service. The team supports incorporation of local entities under mandate, opens banking and acquiring relationships in the new jurisdiction, negotiates PSP contracts locally, and runs the day-to-day finance operations for the new entity (bookkeeping, statutory accounting, tax filings, treasury, and reconciliation). The commercial outcome is that transactions are processed locally in every market instead of cross-border, which lifts issuer approval rates and compounds with the orchestration layer to deliver high success rates across the client's entire international footprint. SGW is designed for businesses with recurring or high-volume transaction flows operating across multiple markets, particularly those expanding into new geographies where standing up local payments processing would otherwise take 6 to 12 months of internal effort. Typical clients include subscription businesses, marketplaces, and merchants where transaction success rates have direct margin impact.
