Runa said it had added more than 1,500 payout options during 2023, taking its catalogue above 3,500 across more than 40 countries and 25 currencies. The figures appeared in an October update on the company’s international expansion.

The total refers to available payout options, rather than the number of individual payments processed. Runa said the network supported payments to gig workers, affiliate commissions, rebates and cryptocurrency cash-outs, alongside its established rewards business.

Singapore was among the markets added during the year. Runa reported 121 payout options there and named connections including Grab, 7-Eleven, Best Denki, IKEA and Zalora.

The company began as WeGift in 2016, using gift card and stored-value infrastructure. Its later strategy was to bring merchant connections, currency issuers, payment methods and processing providers together through a common software layer.

Founder Aron Alexander said the expansion reflected demand for more ways to use digital balances. Runa presented instant delivery and reduced payout costs as benefits of its network; those claims came from the company’s announcement.
