Founders & story · from OpenPayd’s own dossier

OpenPayd launched in 2018 as a BaaS platform offering accounts, virtual IBANs, FX and payment rails to businesses via a single API. In 2020 it made an early bet on serving crypto-native firms — a differentiator that landed clients like Bitfinex, OKX, B2C2 and eToro. It has since layered on Open Banking (2022) and stablecoin on/off-ramp services, positioning itself as a fiat-plus-crypto embedded finance rail operating across UK, EU, Canada and Malta.
