Our story

Yaspa started in 2017 as 'Citizen', a company with the vision of connecting identity and payments. Over the years our product offering has evolved, and sometimes pivoted a little, but that focus has remained the same.

We believe there is a sweet spot in the combination of payment and identity data that will dramatically improve payment velocity, security and consumer trust.
