“Can a payment orchestration layer become the single API through which merchants access every PSP, payment method, and embedded finance capability they need?”
BR-DGE is a payment orchestration infrastructure provider, sitting as a middleware layer between merchants and payment processors. Its core value proposition is a single API that routes transactions across a wide array of PSPs, enabling merchants to optimise authorisation rates, reduce costs, and access new payment methods. The platform has extended beyond card routing into open banking payments via a Moneyhub partnership and instalment payments via Visa Instalments Solution, positioning itself as a broader payment experience layer rather than a pure routing engine.
Br Dge processes payments through Adyen, Braintree, Checkout.com, Cybersource, Fat Zebra, Nuvei, PayPal, Stripe and 7 others.
Br Dge connects to bank accounts through Moneyhub and Trustly.
The Embedded Finance Index 2026 maps 3 layers in Br Dge's stack: Payments / PSP (Adyen, Braintree, Checkout.com, Cybersource and 11 others); Lending (Visa Instalments Solution (VIS) — instalment payments at checkout); Open banking (Moneyhub and Trustly).
Br Dge is headquartered in United Kingdom.
