ZipZap was incorporated as ZipZap, Inc. and launched with a $500,000 investment from founder Alan Safahi, raising an additional $1.075 million from early-stage investors in the same year. A further $1.1 million funding round was announced in July 2014 to expand its payment network for digital currencies and cash-to-bitcoin services. Backers included 500 Global, Blumberg Capital, AngelList Syndicate, TriplePoint Ventures, Fashionmall.com, Blockchain Angels, and Cryptocurrency Partners.
ZipZap enabled cash purchases of bitcoin across several Central and South American markets and had been processing payments in Brazil since 2013. The company reported obtaining money-transfer licenses in Canada and the UK and launched remittance services to China, India, and the Philippines. In March 2014, it temporarily suspended UK digital-currency transactions while its payment processor sought regulatory clarification. ZipZap formerly maintained affiliations with Ripple Labs and MoneyGram as part of its payment network partnerships. Business-information provider Craft has since classified the company as closed.
