The company provides solutions for over 200 business partners and manages yearly transactions exceeding $3 billion. Its infrastructure is built for use cases ranging from daily payments to business operations.
The company’s end-to-end payments platform enables firms to offer stablecoin-linked Visa cards, wallets, direct payment options, on-ramps, and payouts through a single provider. Transactions using Rain’s solutions can occur anywhere Visa functions.
