Who we are
Frame was founded by operators who’ve spent decades inside the financial system at payment processors, exchanges, banks, and protocol companies. We know where legacy infrastructure’s shortcomings are.
Payment infrastructure engineers who've processed billions in transactions
Protocol architects who understand institutional requirements
Compliance experts who've navigated global regulatory frameworks
Former treasury and finance operators who've felt these pain points firsthand
Values
We believe financial institutions and enterprises should have more control over how money moves — without relying on fragmented, outdated systems.
Security, compliance, and transparency are not add-ons. They are built into the foundation of everything we create.
Payments should settle in minutes, not days. We build infrastructure that keeps pace with how modern companies actually operate.
From cost to complexity to reconciliation, we look for ways to remove unnecessary friction from every step of the payment flow.
We are not asking businesses to abandon the systems they rely on. We build technology that works with existing financial infrastructure while opening the door to what comes next.
We believe payments can be programmable, intelligent, and adaptive — giving teams better visibility, better routing, and better outcomes at scale.
