“Can a privacy-first P2P payment app replace cash transactions at scale without requiring users to share personal identifiers?”
PayTile is building a privacy-centric payments platform aimed at replacing cash transactions. The core value proposition is enabling payments without exposing a phone number, username, email, or real name. The company has partnered with Cross River Bank for its banking/sponsorship infrastructure. Beyond that, the public footprint is limited and the company appears to be at an early stage.
Paytile discloses Cross River as its banking provider, with Cross River Bank, N.A. as its sponsor bank, according to the Embedded Finance Index 2026.
Paytile does not disclose a bank charter of its own; its banking services are provided through Cross River Bank, N.A..
The Embedded Finance Index 2026 maps 2 layers in Paytile's stack: Banking / BaaS (Cross River); Sponsor bank (Cross River Bank, N.A.).
Paytile was founded by Anu Vora (CEO) and Andrew Magruder (Head of Product).
