Vision
Send a payment as easily as an email
Federico Lorenzi & Jihyun Tornow, Tigerbeetle
1.4 billion people worldwide remain unbanked and excluded from traditional financial systems that could expand their economic participation and earning potential.
In the same way the internet has eased the way information is shared across the world, Interledger applies similar principles in easing the flow of payments across the web - through packets. It’s a secure and fast way for anyone, anywhere to send or receive payments, and one of its best features is that it can be in any currency.
Since 2020, we have awarded $18 million for 188 projects in over 40 countries. Through our grants we aim to support communities that have – and continue to be – systemically and deliberately excluded from financial access and empowerment opportunities. Our core funding priorities are Financial Services, Education and Ambassadorships.
“This will help at least one million people in my country with cross-border payments. Fintech and protocols like Interledger will help them to make seamless payments.”
–Maha Bahou, CEO at Jordan Payments & Clearing Company
Our global strategy for change is:
- Support research and development of digital financial systems in vulnerable areas
- Fund innovative solutions geared towards serving underrepresented populations
- Foster an ecosystem that supports a paradigm shift in payment systems
- Create a robust and active Interledger community that grows together
- Enrich talent pipelines to bring new voices and perspectives into the fintech space
To help transform our vision into reality, we work with partners around the globe to implement innovative digital financial solutions that improve people’s lives. If you are interested in finding out how we could work together to revolutionize digital payments, please get in touch.
