FinTelegram has already reported that the UK entities behind the high-risk payment processors, Kryptova, Bitmatix, and Paypound are in the process of being dissolved. The UK Companies House announced that the companies cease to exist via voluntary strike-off as of April 18, 2023. They belong to the network of notorious Indian payment veteran Ruchi Rathor. Merchants should take the best care of their money and avoid black-listed Kryptova, Bitmatix, and Paypound.

The high-risk payment processor BitMatix is part of Ruchi Rathor's network and is operated by her son-in-law Yuvraj Singh. Until recently, BitMatix IO Ltd in the UK was listed as the operator. On January 23, 2023, a voluntary strike-off request was filed by the company. As with the other UK companies in the network, Kryptova, and Paypound. The BitMatix website now states a BitMatix Inc. as the operator. We have not been able to find this company and advise merchants to be super-cautious.

On January 23, 2023, a deletion request was submitted for the three companies Kryptova Biz Ltd d/b/a Kryptova, Self Pay IO Ltd d/b/a Paypound, and Bitmatix IO Ltd d/b/a Bitmatix. These high-risk payment processors are part of the network of Indian payment entrepreneur Ruchi Rathor and her family. In recent weeks, many complaints have been made, especially on LinkedIn, about these high-risk payment processors. The websites are online!

iPaytotal was a notorious Indo-British high-risk payment processor that was primarily involved in scams and cybercrime activities. FinTelegram has exposed iPayTotal as a facilitator in dozens of scams. In Nov 2020, iPayTotal Ltd in the UK was ordered by the court to go into insolvency and liquidation. Many millions disappeared in the process. The beneficial owners were Ruchi Rathor, Anirudh Pratap Singh Rathor, and Anurag Pratap Singh. They are currently operating a number of successor schemes through their companies in India and the UK. BitMatix is just one of them.

The court-appointed Joint Liquidators submitted a progress report in Feb 2022 providing a sense of the scale of the iPayTotal disaster while outlining how these high-risk payment processors operate. The liquidators identified 13 creditors but only seven reported claims totaling about GBP 1.1 million. These are likely to be the merchants who wanted to receive their payments through iPayTotal. iPayTotal Ltd was just one of many legal entities in the vanished group. So we can assume that the damage to the merchants is actually many times higher. Many millions have disappeared.
