Payments software for merchant acquirers.

Underwriting, onboarding, and boarding APIs that move money reliably and stay inside scheme rules. We've built the boarding and settlement layers behind Top-10 US processors. We'll build yours, and we can put our own capital and engineers in alongside you.

What we build for Merchant Acquirers

  • Underwriting and risk tooling that scores merchants and flags exposure before it hits your book
  • Merchant onboarding flows that get sellers boarded fast without skipping diligence
  • Boarding APIs that connect your platform, partners, and processors cleanly
  • Processing systems that authorize, capture, and settle reliably across your portfolio
  • Scheme-rule compliance baked into the build, not bolted on before an audit
  • Portfolio reporting and statements your ops and finance teams can trust
Why payments-native matters

Acquiring software breaks on the parts generalists overlook: settlement timing, reserve handling, and the scheme mandates that change underneath you. Our engineers already speak processing and compliance, so the systems we build move money correctly and stay inside the rules from the first transaction.
