TL;DR

BlindPay is a stablecoin API that helps companies navigate LatAm's complex financial regulations while enabling fast and affordable global payments. Watch our demo here.

The Problem

Businesses face significant hurdles when sending and receiving global payments:

  • Traditional methods rely on correspondent banks, adding fees (1.5-6% for B2B) and delays of 2-5 business days or more. Bank transfers typically require 2-4 intermediaries between smaller countries, with costs reaching hundreds of dollars.
  • Frequent fluctuations in Latin American currencies, coupled with extreme inflation rates (over 50% annually in some countries), make international payments unpredictable and risky.
  • Complex regulations and strict compliance rules across jurisdictions require different documentation for each institution.
  • Fragmented payment landscapes across countries require integration with multiple local payment systems (like SPEI, Pix, PSE), making implementation resource-intensive

Our Solution

Our API integrates seamlessly with your existing workflows. With BlindPay you can:

  • Send and receive payments using fiat money and stablecoins
  • Get competitive FX quotes and low transaction fees
  • Connect directly to local instant payment systems across Latin America
  • 24/7 payments with instant settlement
