The story

Pidgin is a real-time payments infrastructure platform built to connect financial institutions to multiple instant payment rails including FedNow, RTP, and stablecoin networks. The company has positioned itself as a core connectivity layer for community and regional financial institutions seeking to modernize payment operations without building rail integrations in-house. Its 2025 stablecoin whitepaper signals a deliberate expansion beyond traditional fiat rails toward digital asset infrastructure for FIs.
