Caliza

Caliza is a stablecoin-powered global financial infrastructure company, founded to eliminate geography as a barrier to economic opportunity. Operating as Caliza Financial Technologies, Inc. (Delaware, USA), the company provides compliant, real-time cross-border payment rails and USD account infrastructure purpose-built for global businesses. Caliza is regulated as a registered Money Services Business (MSB) with FinCEN and holds a Digital Asset Business license from the Bermuda Monetary Authority.

Core Products/Services

Caliza offers two primary products: a Global Dashboard — a single interface for managing global treasury, executing cross-border payments, and accessing real-time FX rates — and a Payments & Accounts API, which allows businesses to programmatically open digital dollar accounts, send and receive international payments, and manage multi-currency treasury. The Caliza Wallet enables businesses to store, save, and transact between USD, stablecoins, and other global currencies with dedicated banking credentials.

The platform supports over 100 currencies and operates using a combination of blockchain (stablecoins) and traditional payment rails, enabling near-instant cross-border settlement. Stablecoins — specifically those fully backed 1:1 by USD — are a core component of Caliza's payment infrastructure, enabling it to bypass the friction and delays of traditional wire transfers.

Key Strengths

Caliza's differentiated compliance approach combines an automated, proprietary risk engine that monitors every transaction across the network with deep relationships with regulated banking partners globally. Built-in compliance features include bank-grade KYC and KYB onboarding, sanctions and PEP screening, automated transaction monitoring for fiat and stablecoins, and a risk-based compliance engine with real-time alerts. The company partners with Circle (US), Paxos, Fireblocks, Banco Semear (Brazil), Banco Dondé (Mexico), and HSBC (US).

Target Customers

Caliza serves B2B customers including manufacturers, e-commerce merchants, global fintechs, and payment service providers. Its use-case solutions include export/import global payments, platform and marketplace payouts, supply chain finance, investment platforms and digital banking, remittances, and international payroll.

Notable Partnerships and Funding

Caliza raised $8.5 million to power real-time money transfers to Latin America using USDC (TechCrunch, July 2024). The company is backed by Initialized Capital, New Form, Better Tomorrow Ventures, Abstract Ventures, Valor Capital, and Quona Capital, as well as founders of Rappi, Remesa Online, Azimo, Anchorage, Compound, and Portal Labs. It has also partnered with LianLian Global to streamline corporate treasury flows between Brazil and China, and with Mercado Bitcoin to bridge stablecoins and global payments.

Why Choose Caliza

Caliza provides a unified infrastructure that allows businesses to instantly and compliantly move funds, operate business accounts globally, access real-time FX rates, and automate compliance — all from a single, integrated platform. Its stablecoin-native approach combined with local banking relationships in key jurisdictions makes it one of the few platforms that can deliver both speed and regulatory compliance for cross-border payments at scale.
