Tiger Global invests in emerging digital payments sector.
In the dynamic world of fintech, Tiger Global Management has established itself as a major growth-stage investor, providing support to scalable models with global potential, particularly in later-stage funding rounds. Established in 2001 as Tiger Technology, the firm has since evolved and expanded its investment portfolio beyond cross-border payments.
Initially focusing on fast-growing public company investments in the tech space, Tiger Global has become one of the industry's hottest, biggest, and quickest funders. As of July 2025, much of its $6.7bn 14th fund, announced in January 2021, has already been invested.
Recent investments in the cross-border payments and trade sector include an $80 million injection into FinTradeX, a cross-border trade platform, in June 2025. Although FinTradeX primarily focuses on cross-border trade, its core function aligns closely with the cross-border payments sector.
Other notable investments include backing PesaPlus in its Series C round, an Indian neobank, and leading a $110 million round for StackLine, a B2B credit infrastructure firm. However, these investments are not explicitly described as being directly related to cross-border payments.
The most recent fintech investment by Tiger Global with relevance to cross-border payments infrastructure is FinTradeX, as of July 2025. Despite this focus, there are no recent, well-publicized Tiger Global investments in classic cross-border payments unicorns like Remitly or Wise equivalents among their latest disclosed deals.
Looking ahead, Tiger Global is expected to begin accepting capital for its next fund, worth $10bn, from October. This new fund will continue the firm's active role in the fintech industry, supporting innovative solutions with global potential.
