Global subscription and e-commerce companies lose over 18% of legitimate cross-border revenue every month due to fragmented acquiring networks, unexpected bank declines, and aggressive false-positive fraud models.

Vesper seamlessly unifies local payment acquiring, dynamic transaction routing, and real-time risk scoring into a single invisible orchestration layer. By instantly matching each transaction to the highest-performing regional acquiring bank and localized fraud threshold, brands eliminate costly payment drop-offs without engineering overhead. Enterprise finance teams gain crystal-clear visibility into global authorization rates while recapturing hundreds of thousands in lost sales.

Vesper is building the global financial infrastructure that ensures no legitimate customer transaction is ever declined anywhere on earth.

Problem
  • When I expand sales into international regions, I want to accept global customer cards smoothly, but rigid domestic payment processors reject up to 22% of cross-border transactions due to misaligned regional fraud parameters.
  • Why Now: Cross-border e-commerce and B2B SaaS growth has surpassed $3.3T, making local acquiring alignment and intelligent risk routing critical for profit margin survival.
  • When I audit payment performance across multiple processors, I want to optimize routing fees, but manual PSP configuration requires 40+ hours per month of developer maintenance and leaves millions in revenue vulnerable to false declines.
  • When I experience a localized payment outage or surge in chargeback disputes, I want to failover instantly to backup acquirers, but static API setups cause immediate checkout downtime and elevated merchant account risk.
  • Existing Alternatives: Relying on single-PSP legacy setups like basic Stripe Connect, building bespoke internal routing logic, or hiring expensive payment consultancy firms.
Solution
  • High-Level Concept: Linear for global payment authorization and risk orchestration.
  • Dynamic acquiring engine that routes transactions based on card BIN data, local bank success rates, and optimal currency processing fees.
  • Real-time risk orchestration layer that mitigates false positives by evaluating regional buyer behavior with sub-50ms precision.
  • Automated merchant account failover system that redirects declined transactions to secondary processors without disrupting buyer checkout.
Distribution
  • Early Adopters: CFOs, VPs of Finance, and Heads of Payments at fast-growing mid-market B2B SaaS and cross-border e-commerce brands with $5M-$50M ARR.
  • Direct targeted outreach to finance executives at mid-market companies launching localized storefronts in Europe, APAC, and LATAM.
  • Strategic co-marketing with regional merchant acquiring banks looking to attract high-volume international merchant traffic.
Pricing
  • Value Ladder: Diagnostic Audit Tier (Free payment health scan)
  • Growth ($499/mo + 0.1% routed volume)
  • Enterprise ($2,499/mo + custom volume tier).
  • One Metric That Matters [OMTM]: Net recaptured revenue from prevented cross-border declines.
  • Market Sizing: SAM of 25k mid-market cross-border merchants; targeting 300 active accounts in Year 1 yielding $3.6M ARR.
Scale Costs
  • PCI-DSS Level 1 compliance infrastructure and hardware security module tokenization vaults across multi-region cloud zones.
  • Direct low-latency API connections and financial telemetry pipelines with 50+ global acquiring banks.
  • High-throughput transaction monitoring systems capable of processing sub-50ms risk evaluations under high peak load.
