i.
Entering the region
Established payment businesses expanding into the Caucasus. You know your product; we know the schemes, the banks, the regulators, and the friction before you hit it.
For foreign PSPs & fintechs
Payments expertise for the Caucasus — from the inside.
Spin helps payment businesses enter, build, and scale across Georgia — led by an executive who's run acquiring at the region's largest banks and served as a card network's regional specialist.
01The doors
Four kinds of clients come to us.
ii.
Building from zero in Georgia
New fintechs setting up in the region. Licensing, banking relationships, scheme onboarding, and the early infrastructure decisions that are expensive to get wrong.
For founders & new entrants
iii.
Scaling acquiring
Banks and acquirers growing their payments business. Strategy, product roadmaps, scheme economics, and high-risk enablement — from an operator who's shipped it, not just advised on it.
For regional banks & acquirers
iv.
Hard-to-place acceptance
Merchants and digital-asset businesses in segments most acquirers avoid. We help you understand who will work with you, why, and how to build acquiring and banking relationships that hold in the region.
For high-risk & digital assets
02The edge
Why work with us.
i. Network & operator
Network and operator, in the same room.
Most advisors are one or the other — scheme economics or hands-on delivery. Spin is both: time inside a global card network and a track record building the products that run on it.
ii. Regional
Regional, not remote.
Every major bank in the region, the regulators themselves. Lived knowledge, not a market report.
iii. High-risk fluent
Comfortable where others aren't.
We've built acceptance for the segments banks walk away from, and we work in emerging payment rails — including digital assets — without flinching.

05Who's behind Spin
A career spent inside the work.
