Breaking: there’s a new way to move money! Today, we’re launching Payments, our integrated payment service provider (PSP) built to let teams move money easier than ever. For too long, teams building payment products have had to juggle fragmented vendors, slow bank integrations, evolving regulations, and infrastructure that needs to be rebuilt every time a new rail appears. Payments changes that. With one API, teams can: - Go live in days, not 6-12 months - Move money across ACH, wires, cards, RTP, FedNow, and stablecoins as first-class rails - Build with confidence, using built-in KYC/KYB and transaction monitoring - Scale forever by starting with our PSP and plugging in more banking partners overtime, without re-integrating All powered by the same orchestration, ledgering, and reconciliation software that’s already processed $400B+ in payments, with 99.99% uptime and 99% CSAT over the last six months. Our goal is simple: to be the forever payments platform for teams of all sizes, wherever they are on their journey. Ready to build payments products faster and scale without limits? Visit go.moderntreasury.com/4tZthxd to get started.
