Dimitrova stated that OpenPayd is looking for potential acquisition deals to acquire additional operating licenses and technology. According to CoinDesk, this push into new markets is designed to support the firm's growth plans. OpenPayd focuses on providing payment infrastructure and financial services to its corporate client base. [1]

According to Grokipedia, OpenPayd operates through several regulated corporate entities across multiple countries. These include SettleGo Solutions Limited in the United Kingdom, which is authorized by the Financial Conduct Authority as an Electronic Money Institution. The firm also maintains entities in Malta regulated by the Malta Financial Services Authority, as well as OpenPayd Canada, Incorporated, registered with FINTRAC as a Money Services Business. [5]

Grokipedia notes that OpenPayd processes more than 180 billion dollars in annualized transaction volume. Wikipedia describes Nasdaq as an American stock exchange based in Manhattan, New York City, which operates as the first fully electronic stock market. Listing on this exchange will allow OpenPayd to gain access to public capital markets as it expands internationally. [4][5]
