Introducing Money Talks

Payments are hard but they don't have to be. Thats why at Safepay we're building a platform that makes payments easy for everyone. Follow our blog to understand how we deal with complexity and solve challenging engineering problems so you don't have to
A new blog series for curious builders, operators, and fintech enthusiasts exploring the future of payments.

What is Safepay?

Safepay is Pakistan’s leading payments infrastructure provider. We help businesses accept digital payments online through a modern stack of APIs, hosted checkout experiences, and easy-to-install plugins. Built for developers and trusted by businesses of all sizes, Safepay is on a mission to modernize digital commerce in Pakistan.

Why Are We Starting a Blog?

Safepay processes over 1 million API requests every month, powering payment flows for thousands of businesses across the country. As one of the largest licensed acquirers in Pakistan, we've had to solve acute engineering problems at scale — and do it all while maintaining a 99.9% uptime.
We believe that good infrastructure deserves good storytelling.
That’s where Money Talks comes in — a window into how we build, ship, and scale financial technology at Safepay.

What We’ll Cover

“You checkout. We route the payment, run fraud checks, initiate 3DS, hit the bank, verify credentials, settle funds, and reconcile records — in milliseconds. Ever wonder how?”
With Money Talks, we’ll go behind the scenes to share:
  • 🔍 Architecture deep-dives — from how we designed our token vault to how we scale load-balanced services in production.
  • ⚙️ Infrastructure insights — scaling on Kubernetes, securing 400,000+ saved credentials, and optimizing performance across services.
  • 📚 Tech stack philosophies — we use Golang, TypeScript, and React to build fault-tolerant systems with clean abstractions.
  • 📈 Fintech frameworks — from interchange logic to compliance practices in emerging markets.
We hope these stories will resonate with anyone building for scale, reliability, or payments.

Built With Intention

Safepay isn’t just a product — it’s a platform. One that developers trust to power commerce in a regulated, high-stakes environment. That means we invest heavily in:
  • Observability and real-time alerting across our stack
  • Zero-downtime deployments and staged rollouts
  • Data security, including encryption and access controls
  • Operational excellence in every environment
