Kira is infrastructure for moving money on behalf of your own customers. You are a business with customers who need to receive money, hold it, and pay it out — and doing that yourself means bank relationships, compliance obligations, and a different integration for every country and payment rail. Kira is the layer that already has those, exposed as one interface you build against once.

What you get

Accounts your customers can be paid into. Kira opens an account for each of your customers, with real bank details a payer can send money to. Money that arrives is credited to that customer, not pooled into yours. A way to pay anyone out. Once money has arrived, it can be sent onward — to a supplier’s bank account, to a contractor abroad, or to a digital wallet. Stablecoins on both sides. A customer can be paid in digital currency as well as by bank transfer, and paid out the same way. It is another route in and another route out, not a product you have to adopt to use the rest. The compliance that lets both happen. Before a customer can hold or move money, they have to be identified and checked. Kira runs that verification and tells you where each customer stands. A record of everything. Every movement has a status you can read, and Kira notifies you when one changes, so your own system never has to guess.

What Kira is not

Kira is not a bank and does not hold a customer relationship with your customers. You own that relationship: your customers see your product, and Kira is the layer underneath it. Kira does not decide who your customers are, what you charge them, or what a payment is for — you do, and Kira carries it out and keeps the record.

Who this is for

Two audiences build on Kira, and they arrive with different questions:
  • A business paying people or companies — suppliers, contractors, sellers on your platform. Your question is how money gets out, on what rail, and when it lands.
  • A business collecting money — subscriptions, invoices, marketplace balances. Your question is how money gets in, whose it is once it arrives, and how you draw it down.
Most integrations do both. Pick your use case lays out the four shapes and points each one at the right place to start.

What it costs

Kira charges when money moves, and nothing when it sits still. How you’re charged explains the model without a single field name.
