Cloud-native, AI-powered payment processing platform for Emerging Markets. Built for PayFacs, PSPs, banks, and fintechs that need enterprise-grade acquiring infrastructure without legacy complexity.
Overview
Akua is a cloud-native, AI-powered payment processing platform designed for the demands of emerging markets' payment ecosystems. Built from the ground up without legacy infrastructure, Akua operates as both an acquirer processor and an acquirer, connecting directly to Visa and Mastercard networks with 99.999% uptime guaranteed through an active-active architecture across 6 simultaneous datacenters. With capacity for 55M+ daily transactions, auto-scaling infrastructure, and a 100% API-first design, Akua enables PayFacs, PSPs, banks, fintechs, and ecommerce platforms to process payments at enterprise scale without the complexity, cost, or time-to-market limitations of traditional payment processors. From kickoff to production in as few as 14 days. Akua's platform covers the full payment stack through 50+ modular services: online payments, card-present (POS, SmartPOS, Tap to Phone), payment links, checkout, recurring billing, multi-rail processing, network tokenization, PAN tokenization, 3DS authentication, settlement and clearing, reconciliation, chargeback management, payouts, KYC/KYB, AML compliance, and more. Every module is available as white-label, meaning your customers interact with your brand. Akua operates invisibly in the background. At the core of the platform sits a proprietary AI layer with 20+ specialized agents that automate fraud prevention, smart transaction routing, reconciliation, chargeback operations, merchant onboarding, and compliance, reducing operational headcount requirements by up to 75% and cutting fraud exposure by up to 87%. Security is enterprise-grade: PCI DSS Level 1, ISO 27001, SOC 2, and PCI PIN certified, with network tokenization, end-to-end encryption, and WAF/anti-DDoS protection. For organizations looking to expand acquiring capabilities in emerging markets without building proprietary infrastructure from scratch, Akua offers Acquiring as a Service (AaaS), enabling new acquirers to go live in hours rather than months. With direct connections to Visa and Mastercard, support for local payment methods, real-time payments, and a developer-first integration experience (APIs, SDKs, MCP support, and a free sandbox), Akua is the infrastructure layer that removes the barriers to payment processing in the region. Whether you're a bank modernizing legacy systems, a fintech scaling operations, or a PayFac expanding into new markets, Akua delivers the speed, reliability, and intelligence to compete at the highest level.

Valor Process Preparation is the only complete process engineering solution available for PCB manufacturing. As lot sizes are reduced and the number of unique designs increases, the ability to enable an Industry 4.0 lot-size-one capability is only possible with a single point of truth for all aspects of the process engineering space.
