Introduction: A New Era of Lightning Payments

Available today, Voltage Payments is the fastest way for businesses to integrate payments on Bitcoin with instant settlements and near-zero fees. 

No nodes, channels, or liquidity management—just a simple API that reduces integration time from days to minutes. Cut costs by up to 95%, eliminate on-chain delays, and streamline payments without added complexity.

With flexible custody models and seamless USD settlement, businesses can adopt Lightning effortlessly while maintaining their existing workflows.

The Problem: Payments Are Under Repair

For businesses, moving money should be as easy as moving data. But today, payments remain slow, expensive, and complex, and are always undergoing a phase of improvement:

  • Payments take days to settle – Bank wires, ACH, and international transfers are plagued by unnecessary delays.
  • Fees eat into profits – Businesses lose millions in payment processing costs due to middlemen and outdated infrastructure.
  • Unnecessary complexity – Traditional payment networks force businesses to navigate layers of intermediaries, compliance headaches, and operational inefficiencies.

As businesses scale globally, these inefficiencies hold them back—slowing growth, limiting flexibility, and making cross-border transactions painful.

Why Voltage Payments?

  • Enterprises desire a single API that integrates Bitcoin and stablecoin payments with minimal technical overhead.
  • Flexible custody models—businesses can choose between Voltage Controlled (credit-based) or User Controlled custody, ensuring they have the right balance of liquidity access and security.
  • USD settlement, meaning businesses can offer Bitcoin payments without the need to hold BTC or deal with its volatility.
  • Reduced locked-up capital, our credit-based model enables companies to send now, pay later. Eliminating the need for pre-funded liquidity.
  • Compliance made simple, with SOC 2 Type II certification and automated regulatory solutions built into the infrastructure.

Simplified Payments & Compliance

  • Easiest API integration ever: Only a few API endpoints needed.
  • Comprehensive dashboard: View wallets, transactions, and team management tools in one place.
  • Built-in compliance and accounting: Streamline finance and reporting workflows.

From the Founder

“For the last half-decade, we’ve seen payment companies promise innovation, but in reality, they’ve just put SaaS wrappers around outdated systems. The result? The same old inefficiencies—just with a nicer UI. But for the first time ever, there’s a real shift. A technology that doesn’t just repackage legacy systems, but fundamentally changes how money moves. With Voltage Payments, we built what payments were always meant to be: instant, borderless, and effortless. This isn’t an iteration. It’s a breakthrough.”

Graham Krizek, Founder & CEO of Voltage
