Payment Rails.
Regulated Execution.

We operate the full path of a transaction, from authorisation to settlement, on one platform and one contract with a supervised Swiss counterparty.

Payment services provider since 2021

01 / 06 · Acceptance

Payment Gateway

A single integration routes card and alternative payment methods through our acquiring partners. Authorisation, capture, refund and chargeback flows are exposed through one API and one dashboard, so a merchant operating across several markets keeps one reconciliation model rather than one per acquirer.

Settlement currencies

Sub-second authorisation, by design

  • Multi-currency settlement
  • Real-time authorisation
  • Fiat and crypto rails through regulated partners

02 / 06 · Risk

Fraud Prevention

Every transaction is scored against device, behavioural and historical signals before it reaches the acquirer. Merchants set their own thresholds per market and per product, and a review queue keeps borderline cases with a human rather than declining good customers.

0.4%

Chargeback ratio target

  • Machine-learning transaction scoring
  • Risk rules per market and product
  • Manual review queue with case history

03 / 06 · Reporting

Real-Time Analytics

Dashboards report authorisation rate, decline reasons, chargeback ratio and settlement timing by acquirer, method and market. Data is exportable and available through the API, so it can feed a merchant’s own reporting rather than living only in our interface.

Secure Infrastructure

Card data is tokenised and never stored in merchant systems. Infrastructure sits in Swiss and EEA data centres with role-based access control, encryption in transit and at rest, and regular penetration testing and external review.

Data residency

  • End-to-end encryption and tokenisation
  • Swiss and EEA data residency
  • Regular penetration testing

Compliance and Onboarding

Onboarding runs full KYC on the entity and its beneficial owners, with sanctions and PEP screening and a documented risk assessment. Monitoring continues for the life of the relationship, and reporting obligations under AMLA are handled by a designated compliance officer.

06 / 06 · Integration

API and Integration

The REST API covers payments, refunds, payouts and reporting, with idempotency keys on every write and signed webhooks for asynchronous events. A sandbox mirrors production behaviour, including declines and disputes, so integrations are tested before a single real transaction.

REST

Idempotent writes on every call

Sandbox

Production behaviour, test keys

  • REST API with idempotent writes
  • Signed webhooks for async events
  • Sandbox with production behaviour
