One Layer Behind Your

01
Accounts
Issue sub‑accounts or virtual IBANs mapped to customers or counterparties
02
Collections
Receive funds into those accounts with structured data for easy matching
03
Payouts
Disburse to recipients across currencies and corridors
04
Stablecoin settlement
Move value through on‑chain rails for speed and transparency
05
Reconciliation
Access unified records and webhooks to track payment status
One Layer Behind Your Payment Product

Build Without Stitching Together Market-by-Market Integrations

Direct banking integrations, local payout rails, and stablecoin connections are complex to build and maintain in each country. Merge reduces that complexity by combining:

Embed Named Accounts
in Your Product

A fintech company can use Merge to embed named accounts into its own product. Each account has an IBAN or virtual account number (where supported) and can be mapped to a customer, counterparty or business line. This makes it possible to:

01
Collect funds
Collect funds from end users or counterparties into segregated sub-accounts.
02
Hold balances
Hold balances in multiple currencies for treasury or operational needs.
03
Fund payouts & transfers
Fund payouts or internal transfers from the same account infrastructure.
04
Simplify reconciliation
Simplify reconciliation by linking every transaction to a specific account.

Cross-Border Use Cases for Business Payment Products

Cross-border payments via correspondent banking are slower, costlier, and less transparent due to intermediary hops, FX markups, and delays. Fintechs and banks need a better way to move money globally. Merge supports:

Merge use cases and the institutions they serve, with a description of how each one works: collections, stablecoin settlement, payouts and internal transfers, plus tailored flows for commercial banks, EMIs, payment institutions and neobanks.
Use Cases Description
Collections
Receive funds in local currency or stablecoin.
Stablecoin settlement
Convert fiat into stablecoin and transfer value on-chain. This can shorten the payment chain and save costs.
Payouts
Disburse funds via local rails or stablecoin wallets where available.
Internal transfers
Move balances between sub-accounts or entities.
Commercial banks
Stablecoin settlement + local rails alongside existing operations.
EMIs
Client-facing accounts, cross-border payouts, fiat-stablecoin settlement.
PIs
Stablecoin rails + local payout coverage across corridors.
Neobanks
Global payments without building every connection per market.

Stablecoin Settlement for Crypto-Native Platforms

Crypto payment service providers and fintech platforms are exploring stablecoin‑enabled payment flows. Merge connects fiat access with on‑chain settlement so you can:

Convert balances

Convert balances between fiat and stablecoins through regulated on/off-ramp partners.

Send & receive payments

Send or receive payments in stablecoin while still paying out in local currency when needed.

Embed settlement

Embed stablecoin settlement into B2B workflows without building custody infrastructure.

Payment Initiation Workflows via API

Merge’s API lets you:

Initiate a collection from an end user or counterparty into a named account.
Send a payout to a recipient in the appropriate currency or stablecoin.
Move funds internally between sub‑accounts for treasury or settlement purposes.
Convert fiat to stablecoin or vice versa within the same integration.

Merge offers API‑driven payment initiation across multiple rails, with compliance and settlement handled by Merge.

Reconciliation and Reporting for Payment Operations

When payment data is spread across multiple banking and provider portals, reconciliation becomes a manual overhead. Merge consolidates it:

01
Structured data
Each transaction is tagged with account, currency, payment method and status.
02
Unified dashboard
See collections, payouts, transfers and conversions in one place.
03
Webhooks & notifications
Receive real-time updates when payment statuses change.
04
Exportable reports
Download transaction data for accounting and compliance.

FAQ

What challenges does Merge solve for fintechs and banks?

Merge helps fintechs and banks overcome the complexity of managing multiple banking integrations, local payment rails, settlement workflows, and reconciliation processes across different markets. Through a single integration, businesses can access accounts, collections, payouts, cross-border payments, stablecoin settlement, and unified reporting, reducing operational overhead and infrastructure complexity.

What does Merge help fintech companies build?

Merge helps fintech companies build payment functionality into their own products, including named accounts, collections, payouts, internal transfers, stablecoin settlement and fiat-stablecoin conversions. Merge operates as the infrastructure layer, while the fintech keeps control of its customer experience, product design and commercial relationships.

Is Merge a payment service provider?

Merge provides a regulated payment infrastructure for fintechs and PSPs. It supports accounts, cross‑border payments, stablecoin settlement, payout workflows and reconciliation data through one integration. While Merge delivers PSP‑like capabilities, it does not claim a specific regulatory category without legal approval.

What should fintechs consider when choosing a payment service provider?

Fintechs should evaluate a payment service provider’s market coverage, account infrastructure, payout methods, stablecoin support, compliance workflows, API flexibility and reconciliation data. The right partner should reduce fragmented integrations and let the fintech build its own branded product experience without constructing separate banking and stablecoin rails in every market.

Does Merge replace a fintech’s own compliance programme?

No. Merge does not replace a fintech’s compliance programme when the fintech has direct regulatory obligations. Merge handles payment execution and regulated workflows where applicable, but the fintech remains responsible for its customer‑facing product, required licences and compliance obligations tied to its regulated activity.
