Sardine Payments is a merchant-of-record solution for crypto, Web3, and fiat payment use cases.
The offering operates as a merchant of record for crypto, Web3, and fiat businesses, combining user onboarding, payment processing, settlement, and compliance. It ships as a hosted checkout or as headless APIs for custom integrations.
Real-time risk scoring reduces document checks during onboarding, and adaptive limits support higher approval rates for trusted users. Fraud, KYC, and AML controls from Sardine's risk platform apply to each transaction, with dashboards reporting approval, conversion, and fraud rates.
