What We're Building

Payments infrastructure for the next generation of financial products

Designed for platforms, marketplaces, and enterprises that need a regulated money layer without the complexity.

Accounts & IBANs

Issue dedicated GBP and EUR accounts to your customers and business clients, each with their own sort code and account number.

FX & Conversion

Convert between major currencies at institutional rates. Reduce FX costs for cross-border payments and supplier disbursements.

Payment Rails

Send and receive via Faster Payments, CHAPS, and SEPA. Future-proofed for ISO 20022 with full transaction-level data.

Safeguarding

Client funds held in ring-fenced safeguarding accounts, fully compliant with FCA EMR safeguarding requirements.

Compliance Layer

Built-in KYC, KYB, transaction monitoring, and sanctions screening — so you meet your AML obligations without building it yourself.

Developer API

RESTful APIs and webhooks built for engineering teams. Comprehensive sandbox, clear documentation, and first-class SDKs.
