The Problem

International payments route through SWIFT costing $25–$50 per transfer with 2–5 day settlement. Alternative corridors exist that are 90% cheaper but require separate integrations. Each country has different payment rails. FX spreads from banks average 2–4% hidden markup.

The Solution

Payment orchestration layer that routes each international payment through the optimal corridor (local rails, stablecoins, partner banks) based on destination country, amount, speed requirement, and cost — via a single API integration.

Target Audience

Platforms and marketplaces paying sellers globally, remittance companies needing cheaper corridors, and businesses sending 100+ international payments per month

Why Now?

International payments are still expensive and slow. Local payment rails are API-accessible. Stablecoin corridors reduce costs further. Global commerce demands faster, cheaper payments. Multiple payment rails need orchestration.

Revenue Model

Per-payment: $1–$5 flat fee (vs $25–$50 SWIFT). FX markup: 0.3–0.5% (vs 2–4% bank). Volume discounts for 1,000+ payments/mo. Platform: $199/mo minimum.
