Our Mission

Democratize access to institutional-grade currency tools

🏢 Our Story

The Problem: In 2023, our founders—a Pakistani remittance specialist, German fintech engineer, and Indian forex trader—faced the same frustrations: airport rip-offs, bank markups averaging 6.2%, and currency apps tracking every transaction for profit.

The Solution: They built RateZap.site over 18 months, launching beta in Q1 2024 with just 8 currencies. By Q3 2025, we serve 25,000+ users monthly across 87 countries, processing 1.8M+ conversions with zero data collection.

Q4 2023: Concept

Idea born over coffee in Dubai—frustrated by 8% airport markup on AED/USD conversion.

Q1 2024: Beta Launch

8 currencies, 500 beta users, 4.9/5 star rating. First month: 2,300 conversions.

Q2 2024: API Integration

Open Exchange Rates partnership, 60-second updates, expanded to 168 currencies.

Q4 2024: Research Division

Launched professional analysis team, monthly trend reports, 87% forecast accuracy.

Q3 2025: Global Scale

25,000 monthly users, 1.8M conversions, 99.9% uptime, zero security incidents.
