## About

Based in Cork, Ireland, and founded in 2016 by Conor Lyden (CEO), Trustap Ltd., aka Trustap, is a third-party service provider for securing payments involved in buying and selling of goods. In June 2026, Trustap Ltd. raised EUR 8.7 million in venture funding led by Aperture, with participation from TX Ventures. The firm has offices in Ireland, the UK, and the US.

The company provides a secure peer-to-peer escrow-style payment platform available as a mobile application or web application supported in i0S and android devices for customers involved in buying and selling virtual goods or physical products in a small marketplace or a large e-commerce site.

Copilot said: Trustap generates revenue primarily through transaction-based fees charged on escrow-style payments processed across marketplaces and ecommerce platforms, forming its core income stream. It also earns from B2B integrations with platforms using its payment and verification infrastructure, along with value-added services such as identity verification, fraud protection, and dispute resolution. With the launch of Trustap Index, the company is expanding into AI-driven commerce infrastructure, which is expected to create new recurring revenue streams from enabling secure, machine-led transactions and structured marketplace data services.

Trustap will focus on launching and scaling its AI-focused product, Trustap Index, enabling machine-readable marketplace listings and automated transactions via AI agents. The company plans to expand integrations with global marketplaces and ecommerce platforms while strengthening its escrow, verification, and payment infrastructure. Continued investment in product development, hiring, and platform capabilities will support broader adoption. As agentic commerce grows, Trustap aims to position itself as a core transaction layer across digital marketplaces globally.
