Capi helps businesses in emerging markets make international payments. Importers in emerging markets pay up to 10% to settle invoices and wait weeks for payments to arrive. We’re on a mission to give businesses in emerging markets the same price and speed as we expect in the US and Europe.
Capi Money provides international payments for importers in emerging markets, offering multi-currency payments and real-time tracking to speed up supplier payments. The service emphasizes reliability, speed, and security backed by regulated institutions.
Allows paying suppliers in 30+ currencies with instant rate quotes and 24-hour settlement. Users sign up, access USD, EUR, GBP, and CNY for invoices, and monitor payment progress in real-time on a dashboard. Funds are held with licensed financial institutions and payments are processed through a regulated service with enterprise-grade security and transparent timelines.
Who it’s for: Importers and businesses in emerging markets that pay international suppliers and require multi-currency, fast, and transparent cross-border payments.
