Every rate and fee appears before you confirm. We would rather lose a transaction than win one by hiding the cost inside a spread.
About us
Money should move as freely as the work does
Vale Payments exists because talented people and growing companies still lose time and money simply getting paid across a border.
Why we started
Work went global long before payments did. A designer in Karachi can win a client in Chicago, and a studio in Dubai can hire engineers across three continents — but the money behind those relationships still travels through decades-old correspondent banking, arriving late, short, and with no explanation of where the difference went.
We built Vale Payments to close that gap. Instead of forcing you into international wires, we give you local account details in the currencies your clients already use, let you hold what you earn, and let you convert on your own terms. When you need the money at home, it moves over local rails, usually the same business day.
We are a technology company, not a bank. The accounts and payment rails sit with licensed partners that are regulated in the markets they serve. Our job is the software on top: the balances, the invoices, the payouts, and the pricing you can actually read.
What we care about
How we make decisions
Four commitments we hold ourselves to as the product grows.
Keep money moving
Waiting days to access your own revenue is a tax on small companies. We measure ourselves on how fast funds actually arrive.
Work inside the rules
We partner only with licensed institutions and verify every account. Compliance is a feature that keeps your payments from getting stuck.
Build for the underserved
Plenty of tools exist for companies in New York and London. We focus on the businesses and freelancers everyone else treats as an edge case.
