Key people at VOXSQUARE.
VOXSQUARE SAS is a French fintech company specializing in secure payment solutions, particularly telephone payments integrated with VOIP telephony. It publishes and operates Voxpay, a robust payment platform launched in 2017 that addresses reliability and security gaps in remote and in-store transactions, earning PCI-DSS Level 1 certification within a year.[1][3] Serving ambitious companies—from solo entrepreneurs to large teams—Voxpay enables seamless payments across channels like remote, mobile, in-store, and teleworking, solving issues like high failure rates and security shortcomings in traditional telephony payments.[1][3] With a team of 19 employees, it focuses on everyday ease of payments, backed by expertise in IT, telecom, and fintech.[1]
VOXSQUARE was co-founded in 2017 by Franck Mechineau (CEO) and Sami Zaiter (COO), two engineers who identified critical flaws in telephone payment solutions within VOIP telephony.[1] Franck, an IT and Applied Mathematics engineer, brings over a decade of fintech experience from major startups and payments firms since the early 2000s.[1] Sami, a Telecom Engineer with 25+ years in voice telephony and VoIP/SIP expertise, complemented Franck's skills, leading to Voxpay's creation as a combined fintech-telecom solution.[1] Early traction was swift: within one year, Voxpay achieved the stringent PCI-DSS Level 1 certification, marking the start of its growth from Voxsquare's strengths.[1][3] Registered in Saint-Mandé, France, with €26,320 capital, it operates under NAF code 6202A for IT systems consultancy (previously listed as 6201Z for programming).[3][7]
VOXSQUARE rides the fintech-telecom convergence trend, capitalizing on rising demand for omnichannel payments amid remote work, e-commerce growth, and mobile sales post-2017.[1] Timing aligns with Europe's PCI-DSS mandates and GDPR, where Voxpay's quick certification positions it against less secure competitors in fragmented telephony payments.[1][3] Market forces like high failure rates in VOIP payments favor its solution, influencing the ecosystem by enabling "payments that sell" for SMEs and enterprises, reducing barriers in hybrid retail models.[1] As a small, agile SAS (19 employees), it contributes to France's fintech scene via Euroquity networks and IT consultancy codes, potentially scaling via partnerships.[1][3][4]
VOXSQUARE's trajectory points to expansion in unified payments, leveraging Voxpay's certified robustness for AI-enhanced VOIP or international markets. Trends like embedded finance and 5G telephony will amplify its edge, with potential for acquisitions or VC as remote sales surge. Its influence may grow by democratizing secure payments, evolving from niche telephony fix to broader fintech player—echoing its origin as engineers unblocking sales anywhere.[1]
