Caliza

Caliza is a USDC-based payment infrastructure company that provides cross-border payment and USD account services for global businesses. Its core business includes issuing US virtual accounts, supporting local settlement rails such as ACH, Wire, RTP, Pix and SPEI, and offering stablecoin custody and conversion services. The platform allows businesses to hold USDC, convert to fiat, and make instant payments to suppliers or employees in multiple countries.

The market pain point Caliza addresses is the inefficiency of traditional cross-border payments: slow settlement (often 2-5 business days), high and opaque fees, limited operating hours, and complex compliance requirements. Caliza solves this by leveraging USDC for instant settlement, combined with local payment rails for last-mile delivery, while embedding KYC/AML screening and transaction monitoring into its platform.

Its competitive narrative centers on being a compliant, always-on infrastructure layer that lets businesses move money like information. The company positions itself as a bridge between crypto rails and traditional banking, without requiring users to understand blockchain technology.
