Cross-border settlement

The New Architect of

Equator routes business payments from Mexican pesos to Indian rupees through licensed partners — settled on-chain, and never held by us.

How It Works

We move the money.We never hold it.

Equator is software, not a vault. A customer's money never rests in an account we control — it stays with regulated partners at each end of the corridor while we orchestrate the path.

Why one corridor

“Anywhere” is what the giants say.We picked one route.

The whole market sells breadth — any dollar, anytime, 130 countries. Breadth is also vagueness. We go the other way: the Mexico → India lane, done with more depth than anyone treating it as country number 47.

Flow typeB2B trade, not remittance

Mexico City and Mumbai sit on nearly the same parallel — a neat coincidence for a company named for the line itself. The trade is real and growing; the dedicated infrastructure isn’t there yet. That gap is the business.

Built for scrutiny

Designed into the architecture — and lighter on data than the custodial model, because we hold less of it.

Sanctions screening

Every principal and counterparty is screened against OFAC and global watchlists before a transaction is routed. A hit stops the route.

Verification at the licensed edge

Partners perform KYB and KYC under their own licenses. Equator routes the process and records the decision — it never stores government IDs or ownership documents.

Continuous monitoring

Velocity, pattern, and corridor-risk rules run at the orchestration layer. An alert pages a person before funds move further.

Immutable audit trail

Every state change is recorded with actor, timestamp, and before-and-after — and retained for seven years.
