Problem
Maritime payments are becoming increasingly difficult to execute reliably due to rising sanctions exposure, multi-jurisdiction banking complexity, and fragmented workflows. Generic payment providers cannot assess vessel-level risk, leading to delayed or rejected payments that disrupt port calls and strain supplier relationships. Hidden FX costs from correspondent banking further complicate cost forecasting for finance teams.
Solution
MaritimePay provides a unified payment platform designed around vessel operations, combining compliance intelligence with transparent FX execution. Every payment is screened before execution against vessel ownership, counterparty, and sanctions data, reducing banking rejections and protecting operational continuity. The platform supports crew payroll, supplier and port disbursements, and FX management across 130+ currencies with real-time pricing and no hidden spreads. Ship managers access a single dashboard for fleet-level payment control, batch payroll processing, and automated reconciliation, with a dedicated Tier-1 safeguarded bank account included on approval.
