Paymentology, a global issuer-processor, has partnered with Rain, a corporate spend management platform, to accelerate the digital asset business market in the Caribbean and Latin America. Together,
Paymentology and Rain have launched a new payment solution that allows companies to instantly spend their digital assets. This is made possible by Rain’s settlement technology and on-chain infrastructure, in conjunction with the support of Paymentology’s proven next-generation solutions. Founded in 2021, Rain has emerged as a go-to platform for
Web3 entities. It’s designed to accommodate the unique governance and operation models of Web3 teams. All the while, it allows them to take advantage of fiat interoperability and payment acceptance at merchants across the globe.
Paymentology is Rain’s issuer processing partner, and its cloud-first card issuing and analytics platform is powering Rain’s physical and virtual Visa credit cards. These cards play a pivotal role in enabling the integration of digital assets within the fiat ecosystem. Initially focusing on the
Latin America and
