Simple. Fast. Reliable.

Building better cross-border payments technology

We’re on a mission to reduce the cost and increase the speed of cross-border payments for Banks and Fintechs (and their customers).

Global payments systems are outdated.
‍We’re changing that.

DANIEL is developing a smarter cross-border payments engine built from scratch for the Banks and Fintechs of the future. Our multi-cloud core tech-stack will enable speed, scalability, security and ridiculously low fees through one simple API integration.

A single API connection leveraging multiple payment rails.

Multi-cloud hosted will mean 100% uptime for you and your customers.

A technology stack leveraging traditional and blockchain rails.

Proprietary AI algorithms form an orchestration layer that instantaneously finds the optimum route by speed and cost.

We put our cross-border payments API to the test — with impressive results

Watch as we put DANIEL's cross-border payments API to the test using two fictional apps emulating a UK- and US-based bank.

0.01% cost

The payment network cost was 0.01% of the transaction value.

3 minutes

The payment took only 3 minutes to settle. This was done without the optimisation, which is expected to improve performance.
