Payments + fintech infrastructureunitpe

We build rails fintechs can trust at production scale

unitpe is a lean Mumbai team building two complementary platforms — a modern payment gateway layer and bank-backed fintech infrastructure — so teams can move money with fewer vendors and more reliability.

We stay Mumbai-first and go remote across India when it helps us ship faster without losing operating discipline.

Snapshot

Payments + fintech infrastructure, built to work together

unitpe exists so ambitious fintech teams don’t have to stitch together five vendors just to move money in, move money out, and reconcile the truth.

Where we build

Mumbai HQ + remote collaborators across India

What we ship

Payments products + bank-backed infra (connected-banking and beyond)

How money flows

Non-custodial: transactions run via partner PAs / partner banks

One company, two platforms

We operate under one legal entity, but we keep product boundaries crisp: Payments and Fintech Infrastructure are separate platforms with separate surfaces, while sharing the same engineering standards and operational discipline.

Team

Builders who live and breathe payments

We stay intentionally small so the people closest to the problem can make the call — fast.

Core team

A compact group of engineers, product builders, compliance-minded operators, and GTM folks who’ve lived payments and settlement realities.

Advisors & partners

Banking, risk, and operations specialists who keep us sharp on compliance, onboarding, and long-tail edge cases.

How we work

Weekly build cadence, tight shipping loops, async updates when remote, and demos that keep everyone aligned on what shipped.

What we build

Rails that cover the entire money loop

Collect, execute, reconcile, and report — with platform primitives designed for real ops teams, not just happy-path demos.

Payments (Gateway layer)

A developer-first payment gateway experience designed for fast integrations, clean reporting, and high conversion — powered through RBI-authorized Partner Payment Aggregators where applicable.

Fintech infrastructure

Bank-backed rails and tooling that sit on top of the Merchant’s own current account — connected-banking workflows, operational dashboards, and APIs built for fintech teams.

Operations & workflows

Payouts and business workflows like payroll, vendor payments, and reconciliation — initiated by the Merchant and executed through partner rails (bank/PA) with audit-grade visibility.

Built for teams that ship

Our goal is simple: reduce your integration surface area and your operational burden. Clean APIs, predictable behavior, and reporting that matches what actually happened.

Trust

Bank-grade thinking, startup speed

Payments isn’t just code — it’s controls, auditability, and the ability to answer “what happened?” instantly.

Non-custodial by design

We don’t hold or control Customer or Merchant funds. Payments are processed/settled by Partner PAs, and banking flows execute through the Merchant’s bank account with partner banks.

Security-first engineering

Least-privilege access, strong audit trails, and a build process that treats security as a feature — not a checklist. We also aim to align with PCI-DSS and SOC frameworks as we scale.

Risk & fraud monitoring

We design for real-world behavior: monitoring, anomaly detection, and operational guardrails so Merchants can ship faster without losing control.

Why we’re here

Clear mission, grounded vision

Everything we build ladders up to one idea — money movement should feel inevitable for Merchants and transparent for Partners.

Mission

Build dependable rails that let fintech teams move money without babysitting legacy systems — fast integrations, clear controls, and fewer failure points.

Vision

Become India’s most trusted partner for payments and fintech infrastructure by pairing product craft with bank-grade rigor and operational transparency.

How we operate

A startup cadence built for resilience

We’d rather stay small, decisive, and extremely hands-on than grow for the sake of headcount.

Ship, measure, tighten

We launch thin slices, capture merchant signal, and iterate until the flow feels inevitable — speed with accountability.

Ownership over titles

Same docs, same dashboards, same truth. Whoever sees the issue first fixes it — engineering, ops, or GTM.

Transparent by default

Partner feedback, compliance notes, and operational learnings live in open docs so decisions are made with context.

Reliability is a product

Edge cases aren’t edge cases in fintech. We design for retries, reconciliation, and operational reality from day one.

Partners are part of the system

We build clean abstractions around partner rails so your team has consistent APIs even when the ecosystem changes.
