The problem

$48 billion extracted from workers. Every year.

Banks and legacy providers charge 6.2% average fees on international transfers. Here's how the money disappears.

6.2%
Global average fee

World Bank data: a $500 transfer costs $31 in fees before it even moves. Most of this goes to intermediary banks you never see.

3–5 days
Average SWIFT time

Your money passes through 2–4 correspondent banks. Each adds processing delay. Families wait days for urgent money.

2–4%
Hidden FX markup

Providers advertise 'zero fees' but markup the exchange rate by 2–4%. You never see the true cost until the money arrives.

4 hops
Intermediary banks

Sender's bank → Correspondent bank → SWIFT → Clearing house → Recipient's bank. Every hop takes a cut and adds risk.

$48B
Lost to fees yearly

That's $48 billion per year extracted from migrant workers and their families. Money that should arrive — doesn't.

Our approach

Replace 4 intermediaries with 1 transaction.

The entire SWIFT network — correspondent banks, clearing houses, processing delays — replaced by a single on-chain transfer costing $0.003.

TRADITIONAL WIRE (3–5 DAYS, $31+)
Your bank ($5–15)
Correspondent bank ($10–20)
SWIFT network ($15–30)
Clearing house ($5)
Recipient's bank ($5–10)
FX markup (2–4% hidden)
Total: $31–$50+ on $500

Infrastructure

Built on a live payment engine.

Send Money runs on the same technology stack as our production crypto payment gateway. These pieces are already working.

LIVE

Multi-chain engine

Live on Polygon, Solana, Base, BSC, Arbitrum, Optimism. Same settlement layer powers Send Money.

LIVE

Non-custodial

We never hold user funds. Payments route through smart contracts with deterministic outputs.

LIVE

Encrypted pipeline

PII encrypted at rest (AES-256-GCM), in transit (TLS 1.3). HMAC-SHA256 webhook signatures.

LIVE

Dashboard

Full analytics, API management, webhook config, transaction monitoring. All live.

BUILDING

Off-ramp integrations

Evaluating licensed partners for fiat delivery: Bridge, Transfi, Yellow Card, Bitso.

BUILDING

KYC layer

Identity verification and transaction monitoring via Sumsub. Required before launch.

Build log

Honest updates. Dated.

No roadmap theater. What shipped, what's in progress, what's still on paper.

Apr 2026shipped

/send waitlist live

Public Coming Soon page + email capture + CSRF-exempt /api/waitlist. First 40+ emails captured in beta signal the right corridors to launch first.

Apr 2026shipped

Google SSO hardened

Removed the misapplied g_csrf_token double-submit that broke every SPA sign-in. verifyIdToken + SameSite=Lax cookies + rate limiter stay.

Mar 2026shipped

Corridor registry finalized

10 routes locked for Phase 1 — US→IN/MX/PH/NG/GB/DE, GB→IN, AE→IN/PK, CA→IN. Picked on remittance volume, not vibes.

Mar 2026in-progress

Off-ramp partner evaluation

Talking to Bridge (Stripe), Transfi, and Yellow Card. Picking on coverage depth per corridor, not a single vendor. Target: one signed by end of Q2.

Feb 2026shipped

Payment gateway hardened

Rate limiting, abuse detection, and the plan-tier boot patch that fixed the production login 500s. Same engine will handle Send settlement.

Q3 2026planned

US→IN private beta

Single corridor, invite-only from the waitlist. UPI delivery, $500 max per transfer, full tx hash disclosure in the receipt.

Q4 2026planned

Corridor expansion

Add US→MX (SPEI), US→PH (GCash), GB→IN (UPI). Raise per-transfer limits once compliance flow is proven on corridor one.

FAQ

Questions answered.

M

My family wired $500 from India for my tuition. Western Union took $28and it arrived three days late. I'm building Zateway because sending money shouldn't cost more than the gas to run a blockchain transaction.

The payment gateway is live. The Send Money product uses the exact same infrastructure. Target: $3.75to send $500 anywhere. I'll keep you posted on real progress — no empty promises.
