This infrastructure supports a robust revenue model by enabling banks and fintechs to offer enhanced payment services to their customers while maintaining compliance with regulatory obligations. Tesser plans to utilize the USD 4. 5 mn raised in Seed funding to enhance its product offerings and expand into new geographic markets.
