The Notabene platform is the trust layer for global money movement.
Notabene helps businesses perform crypto transactions in a regulatory compliant way. Think of us as the SWIFT network for Crypto. New global regulations for crypto transactions are here and will be enforced over the next year. Businesses now have to follow strict rules similar to banks, or shut down. We provide a SaaS platform that allows businesses to perform due-diligence on their counter-parties and manage the risk of incoming and outgoing transactions.
Notabene positions itself as the open trust layer for global payments and digital asset flows, offering a modular architecture that enables compliant, fast stablecoin payments and Travel Rule compliance across a global network. It emphasizes an open, bank-grade end-to-end counterparty verification solution and a multi-layer platform built for pre-transaction coordination and programmable trust.
Notabene provides Notabene Flow, the first open stablecoin payments platform for businesses, enabling pull payments, push payments, and recurring payments on a global, compliant network. The platform is built as a three-layer architecture (protocol, network, interface) and includes Notabene Transact for automated pre-transaction decision-making and TAP (Transaction Authorization Protocol) for pre-transaction message exchange and secure authorization across wallets and exchanges. It supports Travel Rule compliance, real-time transaction authorization, audit-ready reporting, and an end-to-end counterparty verification workflow that scales across thousands of VASPs and regulated institutions.
Who it’s for: Financial institutions and regulated digital asset participants (exchanges, payment providers, custodians, banks) that require compliant, cross-border stablecoin payments and Travel Rule readiness.
Multiple references to customers, networks, and partners (Notabene Network, 280+ Notabene Customers, 2,000+ VASPs in Network, 100+ jurisdictions) imply market traction and active deployments; presence of resources, blogs, webinars, and case studies indicates ongoing thought leadership and growth activity.
