Meet Raffi

Raffi is the co-founder of borderless, a global payments company located in Louisville, KY. He grew up in Lebanon and moved to the US to attend Penn State University where he received a Masters in Architectural Engineering. Raffi has always had a passion for solving problems. He has experienced firsthand the difficulty of moving money across borders as he lived in 3 continents and traveled to over 30 countries. After searching for a solution and not finding a good one, he decided to create one. This is how borderless was born. In his spare time, Raffi enjoys playing soccer, watching sports, and running Khayat Oil, his family's Extra Virgin Olive Oil company.

borderless is a global payments company enabling payouts to 100+ countries via webapp, CSV upload, and API.
