Global payment and banking solutions for modern business. Pay - Integrated payment gateway enabling same day cross border payments for modern global businesses. Transact - User-friendly and secure access to digital assets for hedge funds, enterprises and family offices. As an industry, we are at the early stage of fully appreciating the impact and benefits, but we have run into a number of fairly predictable issues that are preventing mainstream adoption. In creating DRFQ we have specifically gone out to address these issues in a structured way to enable blockchain enabled technology to become a legitimate part of cross border payments now and for the long term.
