What’s next…

01
Machine-readable specification
The standard, as code. OpenAPI + JSON Schema + an executable conformance suite, so "compliant" means something a CI pipeline can prove.
02
Bulk & Batch Payments
One consent, many payments. Payroll, supplier runs, and recurring disbursements without re-prompting the customer for every transfer.
03
International Payments, reimagined
A ground-up redesign of the cross-border flow — FX transparency, beneficiary verification, and SWIFT/instant rails treated as first-class citizens.
