Problem
Enterprises face slow, costly, and fragmented cross‑border payment processes that require multiple banking relationships, manual reconciliations, and opaque foreign‑exchange rates. Existing fiat‑to‑fiat corridors often lack speed and transparency, limiting liquidity and operational efficiency for corporate finance teams.
Solution
Heron offers a global payments platform that keeps enterprises fully fiat‑facing while leveraging stablecoin infrastructure behind the scenes. The platform abstracts hundreds of stablecoin gateways, liquidity providers, and local payout partners, routing payments through optimal stablecoin and blockchain paths before settling in the recipient’s local fiat currency. By orchestrating execution across multiple blockchains and payment networks, Heron delivers near‑instant T+0/T+1 settlement, reduced fees, and improved FX outcomes. The service integrates with existing ERP and treasury management systems, providing deterministic policy controls, audit trails, and automated approvals to align with corporate finance workflows.
Target Audience
Heron targets corporate finance, treasury, and treasury‑as‑a‑service teams at mid‑size to large enterprises that require fast, cost‑effective cross‑border payments while maintaining strict financial controls.
