Xendit Startup Diligence Report

A credible thesis is that Xendit can compound as localized payments and financial-operations infrastructure for Southeast Asian merchants and platforms. The thesis depends on proving revenue quality, take-rate durability, customer diversification, reliable partner-rail operations, compliant multi-jurisdiction licenses and supportable current valuation.

Company profile

Xendit Startup Diligence Report

Xendit qualifies for continued diligence as an active private Southeast Asia payments-infrastructure unicorn screen. Public evidence supports the 2021 $1B unicorn claim, broad product footprint, customer references, multi-country license claims and 2022 $300M Series D financing; the investment case cannot be underwritten without private financial, customer, regulatory, contract, security and HR records.

Executive summary

Strengths

  • Xendit appears on CB Insights as a $1B Indonesia/Jakarta financial-services unicorn and YC lists it active.
  • Public sources verify $150M Series C at $1B valuation and $300M Series D / $538M total raised, while leaving Series D valuation undisclosed.
  • Xendit publicly markets 100+ payment methods, payments, payouts, treasury, cards, financing, identity, BaaS/e-money and developer docs.

Risks

  • Financial quality and current valuation support are not public.
  • Multi-jurisdiction fintech licensing/regulatory exposure requires local counsel confirmation.
  • Customer concentration, churn and contract economics are hidden behind public logo evidence.

Gaps

  • Audited financials, cash/burn/runway, TPV-to-revenue bridge, gross margin and forecast model.
  • Fully diluted cap table, valuation support, preference stack, debt, warrants/notes and option pool.
  • Top-customer revenue, active contracts, churn/NRR, customer references and supplier/rail contracts.
  • Regulator-confirmed licenses, compliance correspondence, legal docket searches, material contracts and insurance.
  • Security reports, SLA/incident history, R&D roadmap, current org chart, compensation and turnover data.

Recommended next steps

  • Do not rely on headline funding or CB valuation until financial, cap-table and current valuation support are reviewed.
  • Open a data-room request covering financials, customers, contracts, regulatory, security and HR before investment committee use.
  • Commission local regulatory/legal diligence in Indonesia, Philippines, Singapore, Malaysia, Thailand, Vietnam and Hong Kong.
  • Run customer, partner-rail and competitor win/loss diligence to validate concentration, reliability and pricing pressure.

Risk register

high medium likelihood

R-001: Financial quality and valuation support are not public

Public sources verify financing, pricing and stale TPV-growth claims, but do not disclose audited revenue, take rate, gross margin, burn, cash runway, ARR/TPV bridge or support for any post-2021 valuation.

Diligence request: Request audited financials, monthly KPI pack, cash/burn, revenue recognition memo, TPV-to-revenue bridge, latest valuation support and board-approved model.

high medium likelihood

R-002: Multi-jurisdiction fintech regulatory and licensing exposure

Xendit operates regulated payment/remittance/VASP/lending activities across several Asian jurisdictions; public license claims require regulator confirmation and review of restrictions, renewals and enforcement history.

Diligence request: Commission local counsel review in Indonesia, Philippines, Singapore, Malaysia, Thailand, Vietnam and Hong Kong; collect licenses, correspondence, exams and remediation history.

high medium likelihood

R-006: Product reliability, fraud and security controls require private validation

Xendit documents APIs and fraud-detection products and status components, but SOC/PCI/penetration-test evidence, uptime SLAs and incident history were not public.

Diligence request: Obtain SOC/PCI/ISO reports if applicable, penetration tests, uptime SLA data, architecture review, incident postmortems and secure-SDLC evidence.

high unknown likelihood

R-003: Customer concentration, churn and contract economics are hidden

Public customer logos show use cases but do not disclose top-customer revenue, active status, pricing, renewals, churn/NRR or 5%+ concentration.

Diligence request: Request top-15 customer schedule, revenue by customer, contract terms, churn/NRR cohorts and independent references.

medium high likelihood

R-004: Operational dependency on bank, e-wallet and payment rails

Status page incidents show partner-rail disruptions for GoPay, virtual accounts, BSS, Landbank and Alipay Philippines, highlighting dependencies outside Xendit core systems.

Diligence request: Review supplier/rail contracts, SLA history, redundancy, incident postmortems, customer credits and business-continuity plans.

medium high likelihood

R-005: Competitive pricing and take-rate pressure

Payments infrastructure buyers can benchmark on payment-method coverage, reliability, developer tooling, local licensing and price; Xendit publishes list prices but realized discounts and competitor win/loss are private.

Diligence request: Run customer win/loss calls and compare realized pricing, acceptance rates, settlement speeds and support SLAs against local and global payment competitors.

medium unknown likelihood

R-007: Cap-table, preference stack and debt obligations unknown

Public sources name investors and amounts but not fully diluted ownership, liquidation preferences, warrants, notes, option pool or debt/off-balance-sheet obligations.

Diligence request: Request full cap table, financing documents, debt schedule, option plan and waterfall model.

medium unknown likelihood

R-008: Management depth, retention and employee-relations risk not public

Public sources identify founders and a team-size anchor, but not current leadership bench, attrition, compensation, employee relations or hiring plan.

Diligence request: Request org chart, executive agreements, compensation/benefits, option plan, attrition reports, employee-relations claims and hiring forecast.

01Financial Information

Public evidence verifies Xendit’s financing history, unicorn-list status and list pricing, but not audited financial statements, current valuation, cash runway, cap table, debt or forecast reliability.

I.A Annual and quarterly financial information for the past three years

not publicly verifiable confidence: high

No audited statements, management reports, AR aging or backlog were public. Retrieved sources provide financing history, list pricing, and stale company-reported TPV growth only.

Evidence gaps

  • Audited financial statements, management accounts, cash balance, bank statements, AR aging, backlog, revenue by product/channel/geography and accounting policies.

Hidden risks

  • High TPV growth can mask low or declining take rate, negative gross margin, high fraud losses or working-capital strain.

Follow-up questions

  • Provide audited FY2023-FY2025 financials, monthly 2025-2026 management accounts, TPV-to-net-revenue bridge and AR/backlog schedules.

Hidden risks

  • Cross-border and multi-currency products create FX, settlement and regulatory cost assumptions that may be material.

Follow-up questions

I.D Other financial information

partially verified confidence: medium

Funding history is publicly supported; tax positions, accounting policies and financing terms are not public. The accessible latest financing article does not disclose Series D valuation.

Evidence gaps

  • Tax positions, revenue-recognition memo, settlement accounting, financing term sheets and current valuation support.

Hidden risks

  • Headline funding may be mistaken for financial quality; tax, revenue recognition and settlement-accounting policies are unverified.

02Products

Xendit publicly markets broad receive, send, business-operations and financial-products capabilities with list pricing, but product availability, utilization, margins and roadmap commitments require private validation.

II.A Description of each product

partially verified confidence: medium

Public pages verify a broad product catalog and pricing table. Historical growth, market share, product-level profitability, technical change and roadmap timing are not publicly verifiable.

Evidence gaps

  • Product-level revenue/TPV, attach rates, gross margin, country availability, roadmap timing, support burden and SLA history.

Hidden risks

  • Large product breadth can create integration, compliance and support complexity; list pricing may not reflect enterprise discounting or partner costs.

Follow-up questions

  • Provide product-by-country matrix, roadmap, active merchant counts, product gross margins and engineering/security architecture review.

03Customer Information

Public customer references support market relevance, but concentration, active status, contract economics, churn and supplier purchase amounts are not public.

III.A Top customers by application

partially verified confidence: medium

Xendit names customers/use cases across several verticals, but not the top 15 customers or purchase timing by fiscal year.

Evidence gaps

  • Top-15 customer list, active-contract confirmation, purchase timing, products used and revenue by fiscal year.

Hidden risks

  • Public logos may be stale or immaterial revenue contributors.

Follow-up questions

III.B Strategic relationships

partially verified confidence: medium

Strategic commercial relationships are partly inferable from licenses and partner-rail status incidents, but revenue contribution and marketing agreements are private.

Evidence gaps

  • Strategic partner agreements, revenue contribution, exclusivity, termination provisions and marketing commitments.

Hidden risks

  • Rail/provider disruptions can affect customer experience and expose SLA/contractual credit risk.

Follow-up questions

  • Provide partner/rail agreement schedule and top supplier/partner spend for the last two fiscal years.

III.C Revenue by customer

not publicly verifiable confidence: high

Revenue by customer and any 5%+ concentration are not publicly verifiable. Customer logos do not disclose spend or contract economics.

Evidence gaps

  • Revenue by customer, churn/NRR, cohorts, pricing, contract length, minimum commitments and termination rights.

Hidden risks

  • Undisclosed concentration could make revenue vulnerable to one marketplace, travel, insurance or gaming customer.

Follow-up questions

  • Provide revenue-by-customer schedule and cohort retention/NRR by segment.

III.D Significant relationships severed within the last two years

not publicly verifiable confidence: low

No public schedule of severed customer, partner or supplier relationships was found. This requires company confirmation.

Evidence gaps

  • Churn log, terminated partner/supplier schedule, incident history and customer-loss reasons.

Hidden risks

  • Quiet churn or terminated bank/e-wallet relationships may not be visible publicly until service disruptions occur.

Follow-up questions

  • Disclose all material customer, partner or supplier terminations since 2024 with reasons and revenue impact.

III.E Top suppliers

not publicly verifiable confidence: medium

Top suppliers and purchase amounts are private. Status incidents identify examples of partner rails whose disruptions can affect service.

Evidence gaps

  • Top suppliers by spend, cloud/hosting contracts, payment-network agreements, bank/e-wallet rail contracts and SLA/BCP reports.

Hidden risks

  • Dependency on external rails, banks, cloud providers or card networks may create concentration risk not visible in financials.

Follow-up questions

  • Provide top-supplier schedule and critical vendor risk assessments.

04Competition

Xendit competes in payments infrastructure on local payment-method coverage, pricing, reliability, developer experience, licensing and regional distribution; true market share and win/loss are private.

IV.A Competitive landscape by market segment

partially verified confidence: medium

Public sources support benchmark axes but not Xendit market share or independent customer perception. The competitor set should include global PSPs, local gateways, bank/e-wallet rails and regional fintechs.

Evidence gaps

  • Market share, win/loss, competitor pricing, acceptance-rate benchmarking, uptime comparisons and customer perception.

Hidden risks

  • List pricing may compress under enterprise discounting; global competitors may pressure high-value merchants while local providers pressure price.

Follow-up questions

  • Run customer interviews and benchmark payment-method coverage, approval rates, settlement speeds, support and realized pricing.

Chapter 08

08Legal and Related Matters

Public license evidence is material, but lawsuits, IP ownership, insurance, material contracts, regulatory history, counsel letters and official docket searches remain major data-room gaps.

VIII.A Pending lawsuits against the Company

inconclusive confidence: low

VIII.C Environmental and employee safety issues and liabilities

Evidence gaps

Hidden risks

  • Office safety, remote-work, labor-law and data-center/vendor obligations can still create liabilities.

Follow-up questions

  • Provide workplace safety/labor compliance disclosure and office lease obligations.

VIII.D Material patents, copyrights, licenses, and trademarks

partially verified confidence: medium
