About Kiip

Kiip is a non-custodial stablecoin infrastructure provider. We help businesses pay, get paid, and hold value globally - in stablecoin, without the blockchain complexity.

Our vision

Money should move as fast and as freely as information. Today it does not - cross-border payments cost tens of dollars, take days, and pass through correspondent banks, card networks, and processors that each take a cut. Fully-backed, regulated stablecoins like USDC and EURe remove that stack without removing the trust.

Our mission

Make stablecoin payments usable by businesses that are not blockchain experts. We deliver payouts, acceptance, and accounts that settle in seconds for cents, anywhere on Earth - with compliance, custody, and auditability handled by default.

What we do

Businesses use our dashboard and APIs to pay contractors and suppliers worldwide, accept payments from anywhere, and hold USDC and EURe in accounts they control. Funds stay in Safe smart accounts that customers sign for. Fiat on/off-ramps run through regulated partners, including Coinbase, Monerium, and Transak.

Global, instant, stablecoin-native payments - without the blockchain complexity. If that describes what you need, let's talk.
