Merchant Alert: High-Risk Payment Processor Kryptova About to Vanish?

Kryptova Biz Ltd d/b/a Kryptova (www.kryptova.biz) is or was an unregulated crypto-focused high-risk payment processor. The company was established in October 2021 by the Indian citizen Chhavi Mishra and is controlled via an offshore entity on the Isle of Nevis. We suspect that Kryptova is part of the network of Indian-British payment veteran Ruchi Rathor. Currently, one of Kryptova's websites has gone offline, and a first notice for a compulsory strike-off is registered at the UK Companies House.

Currently, Paypound and Payomatix and the crypto payment processors Cryptomatix and Kryptova are associated with Indian-British iPayTotal co-founder Ruchi Rathor. iPayTotal is active as a fintech software provider through companies in India and Portugal. Ruchi Rathor is still one of the driving forces behind these high-risk payment ventures with close African ties.
