About SeQura

SeQura builds financial services for the commerce sector, online and offline. By removing the biggest obstacles in the checkout process and the need to pay everything up front, we make consumers more confident and willing to buy the things they want. This increases conversion rates and basket sizes for retailers. We do this while actually decreasing the retailers financial risk, and all they have to do is integrate our simple API.

We've had a great market reception so far, and after five years on the market the business model is totally validated and as we continue growing we are completing our engineering team to face all the new challenges.
