Payments-native engineering

Turn your payments product gap into your #1 revenue driver.

We're the payments engineering team behind Top-10 US processors. We build the payments software your roadmap can't get to, at 60-70% less than hiring in the US. Hosted payment forms, invoicing, SDKs, terminal apps: we've built the products that move billions.

  • $2.5B+ processed
  • Built a Top-10 processor's #1 online payments product

The roadmap is full. Your payments team isn't.

The features that win and keep customers are sitting in your backlog, because senior payments engineers take months to hire and your team is already maxed on what's live. We plug in as a team that already knows gateways, processing, settlement, and compliance, and start clearing it.

Built for everyone who moves money

Wherever you sit in the payments value chain, we plug in as a senior, payments-native engineering team that already speaks gateways, processing, settlement, and compliance.

  • Payment Processors & Gateways

    Close the product gaps (hosted forms, invoicing, terminals) that win and keep merchants. We've done it for Top-10 processors.

  • Merchant Acquirers

    Underwriting, onboarding, and boarding APIs that move money reliably and stay inside scheme rules.

  • Payment ISOs

    SDKs, plugins, portals, and residual/reporting tools that convert merchants faster than Stripe and Square.

  • ISVs & Platforms

    Embed payments (checkout, payouts, onboarding) without hiring a payments team.

  • Payments Startups

    From ledger to launch, we become your payments engineering team and ship your roadmap on a tight runway.

Selected work

We don't talk about results. We show them.

Four real builds for US processors and ISOs.

Top-10 US Processor

Hosted payment forms

Before
Bleeding merchants, with no hosted payment page to complete its own offering. Reps kept losing deals, and the feature stayed deprioritized.
Bridge
We built and launched a customizable hosted payment page on the processor's gateway in 3 months, at 70% less (~$75K/mo saved).
After
Reps had a product to win deals with again, and merchants stopped leaving.

Top-10 US Processor

Scalable invoicing platform

Before
Big opportunity, limited resources, and no scalable invoicing product to sell.
Bridge
We delivered an MVP in 9 months at 70% less (~$180K/mo saved), then iterated into a full platform.
After
The fastest-growing product in the processor's online payments portfolio.

Omni-channel SDKs & distribution

Before
Losing omni-channel merchants to Stripe and Square; integrations took quarters.
Bridge
7 SDKs (Java, PHP, .NET, Node, Ruby, Python, iOS, Android) plus Magento/Shopify/PrestaShop/OpenCart plugins, in 12 months, at 70% less.
After
They won omni-channel merchants back from Stripe and Square.

Custom payment terminal app

Before
A market opportunity with a hard 3-month deadline and no spare dev capacity.
Bridge
We built and deployed a custom terminal app inside the 3-month window, at 70% less (~$20K/mo saved).
After
It paid for itself at the first event, then kept earning.

Payments is the only thing we build.

We're not generalists who learn payments on your dime. Our founders and every engineer come from the payments industry: gateways, processors, acquirers, ISOs. We already speak PCI, tokenization, settlement, interchange, and scheme rules, so we skip the ramp and start shipping. And because the team is Philippines-based under American management, you get senior, payments-native delivery at 60-70% less than US cost.
