Our Story
In Dutch, the noun straal means beam or radius.
And this is why, here at Straal, we put a strong emphasis not only on providing lightspeed payments processing, but also on growing your radius of operation.
Our story starts back in 2015, when a group of developers, security specialists and business executives from the e-commerce industry came to the conclusion that none of the payment gateways available on the market can offer the flexibility and adaptability required by modern-day businesses.
After months of extensive R&D, tests and improvements, their vision has become reality - a full suite of payment solution ready to help you make the most of the borderless digital world.
