Individuals increasingly sell globally. The future of payments is about better billing primitives, clearer compliance, and smoother cross-border movement—built on regulated rails.
Freelancers live in a world of variable income and global clients. Traditional systems assume salaries, local rails, and predictable cash flow—creating friction at every step.
