What We Do
We're making digital payments safer and easier for everyone.
Come and help us build financial infrastructure for developers and seamless products for consumers.
We started with a consumer product that reimagines the way people and businesses spend money online using ephemeral payment card numbers. Last year we launched an API on top of our transaction processing and core banking infrastructure. We made it available to other engineers, entrepreneurs, and creators through a simple, developer first API that is now used by some of the most innovative startups, fintech companies, and neobanks.
