Astrada

Why did we build Astrada? We saw platforms struggling with a big trade-off: either issue their own cards and lock customers into a single bank relationship, or lose visibility on spend that happens outside their ecosystem. Astrada solves this by allowing companies to bring their own cards (BYOC) and still receive real-time transaction data. What makes this unique? 1) Enables corporates to keep their existing bank relationships while unlocking the full benefits of their expense or spend management module 2) Makes international expansion easier, even in markets where interchange is less lucrative 3) Helps platforms diversify revenue by decoupling from interchange and driving predictable SaaS revenue We’re proud to make it possible for product teams to ship real-time spend visibility in days, not months, without the pain of direct network integrations or card issuing. Excited to hear your feedback and ideas on where this could go next! 🚀
