ABOUT PAYGRID
Cross-border FX still runs on who you know. We’re changing that.
OUR STORY
Built for the markets the system skipped.
Moving money across borders in emerging markets is slow, costly and gated. The best rate usually exists, but it sits with a partner you have never met, behind a group chat you are not in.
Paygrid puts every request in front of the whole network at once. Payment firms and liquidity providers send requests, quote on each other’s, and deal directly with the partner they pick. We never add a spread and we never touch the funds.
WHERE WE’RE GOING
Starting with Africa. Built for every emerging market.
We started in Africa, where the need is sharpest: partners across Nigeria, Kenya, Ghana, South Africa and francophone Africa, trading against stablecoins, dollars, euros and pounds. Next come the corridors that connect them to the rest of the world, and the emerging markets in Latin America, the Middle East and Asia that run on the same group chats today.
HOW WE WORK
The principles we hold ourselves to.
Never a party to the trade.
We match and coordinate. You agree, onboard and settle directly with your counterpart.
No spread, ever.
The price you see is the price your counterpart quoted.
You choose.
You pick the quote, the partner, and who sees your requests.
