Corefy

“Can a pure-software payment orchestration layer, holding no licenses and no funds, become the default routing brain for high-risk global merchants and PSPs?”

The story

Founded 2016 in Kyiv as PayCore.io, later rebranded to Corefy with UK HQ. The company deliberately positions itself as a pure software/orchestration layer — not an FCA-regulated PI/EMI — so clients keep direct contracts with PSPs and acquirers, and Corefy never holds funds. Growth thesis is connector breadth (600+ integrations, 1,200+ providers) for iGaming, forex, crypto PSP, marketplace, and high-risk verticals.
