About Astatecs

Pioneering the future of gaming and fintech solutions for over 15 years, rooted in Seoul's vibrant tech ecosystem and expanding globally.

Our Evolution

From a small startup in Seoul's tech district to a global innovator, discover the milestones that shaped Astatecs into today's technology leader.

2009: Foundation in Seoul's Tech District

Astatecs Inc. was founded in the heart of Seoul's Gangnam tech district, a hub of innovation and entrepreneurship. Our founders, visionaries from Samsung and LG, recognized the untapped potential in gaming and financial technology convergence. Starting with a modest team of 8 engineers, we began developing revolutionary payment solutions for the emerging mobile gaming market.

The initial office, located in the iconic Gangnam Finance Tower, became the birthplace of our first breakthrough: a secure micro-transaction system that would later process over $2 billion in gaming revenue.

2012: First Major Breakthrough

Launched our flagship gaming payment platform, processing over 1 million transactions in the first month. This period marked our entry into the international market, partnering with major gaming companies across Asia and establishing our reputation for reliability and innovation.

Our minimalist design principles, inspired by Korean aesthetics, resonated globally. We rejected cluttered interfaces in favor of clean, intuitive experiences that reduced friction in digital transactions.

2015: Global Expansion

Opened our first international office in New York, establishing the foundation for our global presence. This strategic move positioned us at the center of the world's financial technology ecosystem, allowing us to serve both Eastern and Western markets with equal expertise.

Our New York headquarters at 1250 Broadway became the operational center for North American operations, while maintaining our Seoul R&D hub as the innovation engine driving product development.

2018: Fintech Revolution

Diversified into comprehensive fintech solutions, launching blockchain-based payment systems and cryptocurrency integration platforms. Our technology now powers digital wallets for over 50 million users worldwide, processing more than $5 billion annually in secure transactions.

This expansion was driven by our core philosophy: simplicity without compromise. Every solution we develop adheres to our minimalist design principles while delivering enterprise-grade security and performance.

2024: 15 Years of Innovation

Celebrating our 15th anniversary as a leading technology innovator. Today, Astatecs operates across three continents with 200+ employees, serving over 100 enterprise clients including Fortune 500 companies in gaming, finance, and e-commerce sectors.

Our commitment to minimalist design and user-centric innovation remains unchanged. We continue to push boundaries, exploring AI-driven solutions, next-generation payment technologies, and sustainable tech practices that shape the future of digital commerce.
