Crypto payment companies: 57 on NAUT, 43 with a decision maker

By NAUT Research · · 8 min read

57 Crypto payment companies tracked on NAUT, 43 with a named decision maker and 105 people on file. Logos: Transak, Alchemy Pay, RedotPay, Huma Finance, Request, StraitsX, Dash, Zebec Protocol, Caliza, BlindPay, xMoney, Tazapay.

NAUT tracks 57 crypto payment companies whose own NAUT description names a payments product, read from the database on 4 November 2026. 43 of the 57 carry a named decision maker, 105 people in total, and 50 list a live domain, so a BD lead or an investor can open a row and find the person behind it.

How the list was built: on 4 November 2026 NAUT held 238 rows tagged with the Payment sector, 236 of them live. 166 of those carry a description, 75 of the descriptions name a payments product, and reading the 75 row by row removed 9 rows that turned out to be something else, plus 3 rows with no live naut.so page. That left 63. A second pass for this article removed 6 more, 3 that failed a source check and 3 on their own description, so 57 are published below. The People column is the count of decision makers each row holds on NAUT on 4 November 2026, and a 0 means NAUT lists nobody at that company yet, which is a gap in NAUT's record and not a claim about the company's team.

What was source-checked, and what was not: 20 of the 63 shortlisted rows had the claim "this company builds a crypto payments product" checked against the company's own site or a named third-party source on 4 November 2026. 17 passed and are published. 3 failed and were dropped: Abound, whose own site sells money transfers from the US to India with no crypto named, Altitude, whose site markets a business account and no crypto payments product, and Arf, whose site sells liquidity and settlement to payment companies instead of a payments product of its own. 3 more rows were dropped on their NAUT description alone: Paybis, described as a crypto exchange and on/off-ramp, USDGO, described as a stablecoin issued by a federally chartered bank, and Bnext, a payment fintech with no crypto in its description. The remaining 40 published rows were not put through that source check, so each of those rests on the description NAUT holds.

How do crypto payment companies split by what they build?

The 57 rows fall into 6 groups, read off each row's own description, and the With a name column counts the rows that name at least 1 decision maker. Cross-border rails and payment APIs are the 2 crowded ends, at 12 rows each, and they also hold most of the people NAUT has on file.

Group Rows With a name People
Cross-border rails 12 12 28
Merchant checkout 11 8 17
Cards and apps 9 4 8
Payment APIs 12 11 25
Payroll and payouts 6 3 9
Payment networks 7 5 18
Total 57 43 105

13 of the 57 descriptions name stablecoins or digital dollars directly, which is the clearest signal of a new build rather than a card programme bolted onto an old one.

Which crypto payment companies does NAUT track, and what does each build?

Every name links to its NAUT page, which carries the team, the domain, the X account and any funding NAUT holds.

Cross-border transfers and remittance rails

Company NAUT description People

Stablecoin-based cross-border payment service provider 2
Stablecoin-based cross-border transfer platform 1
Cross-border payment platform 2

Digital dollar payment platform 5

Caliza's own site, read on 4 November 2026, describes itself as providing "compliant, real-time payments and USD account infrastructure for global businesses." Cedar Money's own site on the same day leads with "Pay your supplier abroad from Africa. Fast, at a guaranteed rate."

Merchant checkout and payment gateways

A crypto payment gateway sits between a merchant's checkout and a chain, so this group is the one most e-commerce and retail teams meet first.

Company NAUT description People
Real-world payment network bridging fiat and crypto, with a ramp solution into Web3 2
Cryptocurrency payment gateway 3
Cryptocurrency payment solution 4
Digital currency payment solution 2
Crypto payment system for retail, e-commerce and vending machines 0
Blockchain payment solution 1
Digital asset payment platform 0
Crypto payment solutions with a wallet, the PCI token and merchant integrations 0
Payment service provider 1
Blockchain payment company 2
Web3 payments platform 2

2 rows in this group need a second look before anyone pitches them. Helio's hel.io domain now redirects to the commerce product of the company that bought it in January 2025 for $175M, and Centi's own site carries little product copy, so the check used a press release about its seed round and its stablecoin micropayments work instead.

Cards and consumer payment apps

Company NAUT description People
Web3 debit card 2
Stablecoin-based payment fintech 3
Payment platform joining crypto and traditional currencies in multi-currency accounts 0
Digital payments app 0
Crypto payment app 0
Web3 payment app 0
Tools for mass adoption of blockchain payments 2
All-in-one payment token powering the FlyX Pay app 1
Interoperable digital payments platform 0

Holyheld's own site, read on 4 November 2026, sells stablecoin on and off ramps, clean APIs and a business account for several entities, so the card sits on a business account for companies. HesabPay was confirmed through a chain case study published in December 2023 that calls it "the first and only interoperable digital payments platform in Afghanistan", because the company's own page returned a 404 to NAUT's fetch on 4 November 2026.

Payment APIs and settlement infrastructure

Company NAUT description People
Stablecoin payment API 4
Payments infrastructure platform 2
Payments infrastructure platform 2
Non-custodial payment infrastructure with an API and dashboard, $2B+ processed 3
AI-native payments infrastructure with a universal stablecoin ID 1
Payment platform for non-custodial wallets 3
Payment and financial infrastructure 2
Payment infrastructure for digital assets 2
Blockchain-based instant payments platform 2
Enterprise stablecoin treasury and settlement platform 0
Digital payments company 1
Payment solutions 3

The 2 rows that read the same on NAUT read very differently on their own sites. Borderless calls itself "The orchestration network for global stablecoin payments", while DTR's site now says the company is part of a listed digital asset platform, so the DTR row is a record of the company and no longer a live sales target. BlindPay describes itself as "an API-first infrastructure for global finance, connecting stablecoins".

Payroll, invoicing and treasury payouts

Company NAUT description People
Payment and monetization platform for invoicing, payouts and payroll in stablecoins 6
Compliant crypto payroll platform 2
On-chain invoice settlement platform 0
USAT payroll and settlement infrastructure with on-chain credit 0
Payment solution for AI agents 1
Payments and crowdfunding platform 0

This is the smallest group at 6 rows, and the 1 that a B2B software seller can reach fastest: payroll and invoicing teams buy compliance, custody and FX help early. AllScale's own site calls it a "Self-Custody Neobank for Global Businesses", and NAUT's description records $6.5M raised in total funding.

Payment networks and protocols

Company NAUT description People
Open-source cryptocurrency for instant, private, low-fee payments, run as a DAO 3
Decentralized payments-focused platform 2
PayFi network for 24/7 stablecoin payments and credit 6
Continuous streams of payments 6
Payment network 1
Makes global payments inexpensive, secure and fast 0
Next-gen payment network 0

These 7 rows are networks and protocols, so the buying unit is a foundation or a core team. Dash's own site, read on 4 November 2026, pitches "Money without borders: instant, confidential, convenient, affordable, and secure", and Fuse Network's site leads with "Last mile payments, onchain". NAUT's description for Huma Finance records over $46M raised across 2 funding rounds, the last of them a $38M Series A.

Which crypto payment companies have a named decision maker?

43 of the 57 rows name at least 1 decision maker, and all 43 include a founder, CEO, chairman or president among them. 14 rows hold 3 or more people, 55 of the 105 in total. The table is ranked by how many people NAUT holds for that company.

The other 14 rows list no person on NAUT yet, so NAUT holds no route into them today: ivendPay, SmartPay, Paycoin, Wirex, Kasta, Join, DLTPAY, HesabPay, Velocity, Zeebu, Pact Labs, Litas, MobileCoin and Tevau. Anyone listed can ask NAUT to remove their page at https://naut.so/legal/data-deletion.

What this list tells a BD team selling into payments

  • The group decides the pitch. 12 rows build cross-border rails and 12 build payment APIs, and a compliance or FX product lands differently in each.
  • 4 of the 57 rows name a person whose title is business development, partnerships or growth: Kyle Hagan at Dash, Jeremy Yeung at RedotPay, Alessandro U.M. Raboni at Transak and JJ Ortiz at Zebec Protocol. Those are the warmest first messages on the list.
  • 7 of the 57 rows carry no domain on NAUT, so verify the company is still trading before a sequence goes out.
  • 2 rows on this list sit inside bigger groups now, Helio and DTR, so check who owns the product before you name it in a deck.
How a BD team can work the 57 payment rows
  1. Pick 1 group12 rows are cross-border rails and 12 are payment APIs, so 1 pitch rarely fits both.
  2. Open the 14 deepest rowsThey hold 55 of the 105 people NAUT has on this list.
  3. Message the BD title first4 rows name a business development, partnerships or growth lead, starting with Kyle Hagan at Dash.
  4. Check the row before you writeHelio and DTR both changed hands, so confirm who owns the product today.

What this list tells a founder raising in payments

  • 13 of the 57 descriptions name stablecoins or digital dollars, so a deck that says "stablecoin rails" is already in a crowded room. Name the corridor, the licence and the merchant type instead.
  • 43 rows carry a named decision maker and 14 do not. A row with a founder, a live domain and a team is what an investor or a partner opens first, so a thin page costs inbound.
  • The 6 rows in payroll, invoicing and treasury payouts are the thinnest group, and 3 of those 6 list nobody on NAUT, which is where a new entrant has the most room.
  • Among crypto payments startups raising now, the comparison set an investor will build is this list, so know which 11 gateway rows and which 12 API rows you will be measured against.
How a founder in payments can use the same 57 rows
  1. Name your groupSay which of the 6 groups you sit in, because 12 rows already claim cross-border rails.
  2. Read your 11 or 12 rivalsGateways are 11 rows and payment APIs are 12, with their teams on each NAUT page.
  3. Fix your own row14 of the 57 list no person on NAUT, and that is the page an investor opens first.
  4. Find the warm intro43 rows carry a named decision maker, so a mutual backer or operator is usually 1 hop away.

How do you reach the decision makers?

Open the company's NAUT page from the tables above, then the person's page. Each person page shows the role, the X account and which verified channels NAUT has on file, and 105 people sit across the 43 rows that name anyone. For a cold open, the 4 business development and partnership leads named above are the cheapest first try; for a product or integration question, 9 of the 14 deepest rows also list a CTO or head of engineering alongside the founders.
