Robert Chen, Co-Founder at PingPong Payments, comments: “I am honored to receive Fortune’s distinguished 40 under 40 recognition, as the company achieves its significant half-decade milestone. Five years ago I founded PingPong Payments on the East Coast, having identified an entire market of marketplace sellers, large and small, who were largely ignored by an antiquated banking system that deemed cross border payments too risky.
“We saw the potential and wanted to solve that problem, and have taken great pleasure in stepping in to support fast growth sellers in an emerging e-commerce retail landscape – becoming accidental entrepreneurs in the process. By designing our business model on servicing the marketplace of the future, we are providing a much needed cross-border payments service to professional sellers in a way no one else is doing.”
