RedotPay Delivers Near-Instant Crypto Payment Solutions for 5 Million users

RedotPay is a global crypto payment fintech that integrates blockchain technology into traditional financial infrastructure. Founded in April 2023, its platform helps users spend and send digital assets and is focused on expanding access to payments in underserved markets across Africa, South America, and the Middle East.

While RedotPay began by helping crypto users make everyday purchases with digital assets, it soon saw demand from people in emerging markets who lacked access to stable and efficient financial systems. Jonathan Chan, head of partnerships and co-founder of RedotPay, says, “As our user base grew, we realized people didn’t just want to spend crypto—they need reliable ways to send and receive money, pay bills, and manage daily expenses.”

To serve this growing need, the company expanded its platform to support not only crypto spending but also fast, low-cost multi-market payout—the ability to send payments across multiple countries—along with fiat integration and compliance-ready infrastructure. RedotPay needed a secure, scalable infrastructure capable of delivering low-latency, high-availability financial services globally—especially for time-sensitive multi-market payouts. It also required a cloud platform with built-in support for regulatory compliance across markets.

RedotPay chose AWS as its cloud infrastructure provider from the outset, going live on AWS in April 2023 and completing its deployment in just one week. The company evaluated AWS based on three key criteria: data security, a comprehensive suite of cloud products, and global reach. “We’ve used AWS since day one,” says Jonathan. “From the beginning, we knew we needed something scalable, compliant, and fast.”

RedotPay’s architecture on AWS powers a suite of financial services, including app servers, a credit card settlement system, multi-market payouts, and an internal operations platform. Business data is stored in Amazon Aurora, with user requests routed through an Application Load Balancer before reaching services hosted on Amazon Elastic Compute Cloud (Amazon EC2) and Kubernetes clusters.

To support rapid development and reliable delivery, RedotPay built its continuous integration and deployment (CI/CD) pipeline using AWS developer tools. Code is hosted in AWS CodeCommit, and the build, test, and deployment processes are managed through AWS CodeBuild, and AWS CodePipeline. This setup empowers the RedotPay team to push updates to production twice weekly and conduct multiple test deployments daily. “For startups, AWS infrastructure makes it easy to build CI/CD processes, helping us to focus more on rapid business iteration,” says Jonathan.

Since going to market in November 2023, RedotPay has grown to 5 million verified users—expanding rapidly across markets while maintaining high performance and security standards. Its platform enables near-instant multi-market payouts, such as sending crypto to local Brazilian bank accounts in 2 minutes—a major leap from the one-to-two-day delays typical of traditional systems. This speed and affordability empower RedotPay to bring payment access to underserved communities worldwide.

RedotPay has scaled efficiently while maintaining low average transaction latency. Despite its fast-growing user base, the company has kept infrastructure and IT costs in check, accelerated compliance onboarding, and strengthened risk mitigation—without compromising performance.

RedotPay’s AWS-powered CI/CD pipeline supports the team to deploy updates to production twice weekly and test changes multiple times a day. This agility helps the company roll out features quickly and adapt to user needs in real time.

Beyond infrastructure, RedotPay benefits from the broader AWS ecosystem—joining seminars, learning from peer startups, and refining its business and product strategies. “AWS is more than just a cloud provider. They’ve become a reliable extension of our team, helping us to focus on growing the business,” Jonathan adds.

Looking ahead, RedotPay is evaluating AWS Application Auto Scaling to ensure seamless performance during traffic surges. The team is also exploring generative AI agents on AWS to automate support for routine, high-volume user queries. “Having AWS is like having a trusted partner working behind the scenes,” Jonathan says. “It means we can focus on users and growth—knowing the technology can keep up.”
