Pulse is one API and one account for the entire money flow. Accept cards or crypto, settle into your own multi-currency accounts, spend on issued cards, and send cross-border in seconds.
Your checkout, our acceptance. Pulse takes the payment itself and settles it, rather than handing you off to somebody else's processor.
Payments, banking, payouts, and card spend each live on a separate platform, draining hours of manual work, leaving numbers that never reconcile, and stacking fees with every integration.
Onboard once with Pulse. One platform, modern rails, covered from day one.
One integration and one KYC covers acceptance, payouts and banking. No repeated onboarding across vendors, so you are live from day one.
Consolidating every flow onto one platform strips out the overhead, leakage and duplicated fees of running four separate providers.
Domestic rails and stablecoin settlement replace the correspondent-banking crawl. Money in seconds, not days.
Everything in the first release works against the same account, the same onboarding, and the same API.
Global card acceptance with smart routing for higher auth rates and lower cost. Cards, bank transfers, wallets and stablecoins on one checkout.
Multi-currency accounts with local IBANs across the UK, US and EU. Operate in markets you aren't based in, with no local entity needed.
Cards issued instantly against your balance, across multiple countries. Spend settled revenue before you ever withdraw it.
Pulse2Pulse moves money to contractors, suppliers and costs abroad in seconds, without the FX spread or the wire delay.
If a payment declines, Pulse retries down a risk-ranked cascade of acquirers until it clears, recovering revenue that single-acquirer setups simply lose.
One integration, every acquirer. Transactions are routed and retried by risk profile, with top-tier fraud protection on both sides, applied automatically.
A dedicated high-risk acquirer built for the businesses mainstream processors turn away, plus a cascade that keeps their approvals up.
A separate low-risk acquirer with the sharpest rates on the schemes. Routed automatically, so you never pick a lane.
Cross-border payments that land in seconds instead of days, at a fraction of the cost. Stablecoins are the transport, not the product: both sides see only their own currency, and never the layer underneath.
A SWIFT wire crawls through intermediary banks, each taking a cut and a day. Pulse2Pulse skips the whole chain.
When both businesses sit on Pulse, the payment never leaves our rails: it clears instantly, with nobody in the middle taking a cut. When the other side is not on Pulse yet, we off-ramp straight into their local bank account.
A business registered in one country can accept payments and hold accounts in markets it has no legal presence in. No local entity, no separate local bank, no multi-month setup.
The first business rewards programme that pays you back on processing volume and card spend alike. An Amex-grade perks engine, earned on the money you already move.

We're onboarding a limited group of design partners ahead of launch. Tell us about your business and we'll come back with routing, pricing and a timeline.
We've got your details. When we open your market, you'll be in the first group we onboard, and we'll be in touch before then with routing and pricing for your vertical.
We're onboarding waitlist businesses in cohorts, market by market. Join the list and we'll tell you exactly where you sit in the queue for yours.
Yes. We run two acquiring relationships: a dedicated high-risk acquirer with underwriting built for verticals mainstream processors refuse, and a separate low-risk acquirer so mainstream volume never pays high-risk pricing. Routing between them is automatic.
No. Multi-country virtual accounts and local IBANs are opened for you, so you can collect and settle like a domestic business without incorporating or opening a local bank account.
Only if you want to. Stablecoins are the transport, not the product. You can pay in and get paid out in ordinary currency, and never see the layer underneath. If you'd rather accept or settle in stablecoins, that's a switch you control.
Those are two onboardings, two balances, two APIs, and a reconciliation problem every month. Pulse is one of each: acceptance, accounts, cards and cross-border settled against the same balance.
Pricing depends on your vertical, volume and mix. Join the waitlist and we'll come back with indicative rates for your business specifically. Waitlist members lock in founding-merchant pricing.
