Founders & story · from GrailPay’s own dossier

GrailPay was founded as a B2B payments risk and data network focused on the ACH rail, where fraud and credit risk have historically lagged behind card-based infrastructure. The company positioned itself as a modern intelligence layer — providing ML-driven risk analytics, KYB/KYC, sanctions screening, and guaranteed ACH settlement — for fintechs, ISOs, ISVs, and payment processors. It has added a net-terms financing product layered directly onto the ACH rail, monetising each financed transaction for partners.
