- ChainIT Pay
Fintech
ChainIT Pay is the payment-focused subsidiary of ChainIT Holding Corp., providing a financial technology platform that embeds identity verification directly into transactions. The core of ChainIT Pay's service is to ensure that funds only move after the parties involved are verified and the underlying agreement is met, creating a provable audit trail for every transaction. This contrasts with traditional systems that often reconcile payments after the fact. The platform's approach involves four steps: verifying the identity of the sender and receiver, binding the payment to its enforceable terms, moving the money across the appropriate rail, and creating an audit-ready record. The company's infrastructure is built on ChainIT's proprietary technology, which includes 14 awarded patents and 20 pending patents. ChainIT Pay serves industries where payment verification is critical, such as insurance, property and title, government, legal services, and the creator economy. Its business model is designed for a range of clients, from startups to large enterprises, offering scalable payment systems. The platform supports payments across various methods including cards, digital wallets, and bank rails like ACH, RTP, and FedNow. It also enables international payouts to over 200 countries and settlement in stablecoins. For businesses, the service aims to reduce fraud, improve payment controls, and ensure compliance. For individuals, it offers a secure way to send, receive, and manage money, with features like biometric wallet security. The company is part of the larger ChainIT ecosystem, which includes solutions for identity (ChainIT ID), business verification (ChainIT KYB), and digital agreements (Pactvera), all aimed at creating a zero-trust digital environment where every interaction is verified. ChainIT Pay has established partnerships with 22 acquiring partners and is integrated into the U.S. Bank Connected Partnership Network.
