Meso

Meso is a crypto payment infrastructure company founded to solve the frustration of moving money in and out of crypto wallets. Built by fintech veterans who previously built high-scale payment systems at PayPal, Venmo, Apple, and Braintree, Meso provides the building blocks for the next generation of financial applications.

Core Products/Services

Meso's flagship offering is its crypto on/off ramp API platform — a comprehensive suite of APIs and SDKs that enables Web3 apps (wallets, exchanges, peer-to-peer payment apps) to embed fast, low-fee fiat-to-crypto and crypto-to-fiat conversion directly in their products. Key platform components include:

• Identity API: Allows developers to build custom KYC identity capture flows using their own UI while Meso handles sensitive data and compliance.
• Transfers API: Simple crypto on-ramp APIs enabling instant bank and card transfers to crypto wallets with low fees and fast settlement (tokens delivered in seconds).
• Fraud Detection: Real-time fraud checks with evolving ML models that block bad actors before they hit the platform while minimizing false positives.
• mesOS: The underlying compliance engine providing real-time transaction monitoring, automated KYC/AML checks, regulatory reporting automation, and custom risk scoring.

Meso supports major blockchain networks including Ethereum, Solana, Base, Bitcoin, Polygon, Arbitrum, and Optimism, and accepts payment methods including debit cards and Apple Pay.

Key Strengths

Meso differentiates on three key metrics: industry-leading transaction success rates (15%+ higher than competitors), lowest fees in the market, and near-instant settlement (users receive crypto in seconds, not minutes). Its API-based integration model provides a fully native user experience — unlike redirect-based competitors — with built-in compliance, fraud protection, and operations all handled by Meso.

The platform includes SDKs for multiple languages and platforms, designed for developer ease and flexibility. Meso's compliance infrastructure keeps partners ahead of worldwide regulatory requirements with no overhead.

Notable Clients/Projects

Meso's notable integration partners include Phantom (leading Solana wallet), MarginFi, Tiplink, Legend, and Movement. The company is backed by leading fintech and crypto investors including Ribbit Capital, Solana Ventures, 6th Man Ventures, Anand Iyer (Canonical), Chris Kalani (CPO & Co-founder at Phantom), and Archie Puri (Former CPO at Galileo and GM at Braintree).

Partners benefit from best-in-class user experience, industry-leading success rates, low fees, and zero operational overhead for compliance. The platform is currently available in the US and EU with more regions in development.
