Built for the internet age
Every dollar a business holds and every payment it sends should be as fast, global and secure as its software.
Making regulated money move at the speed of software.
Dakota gives companies the regulated infrastructure to launch cards, accounts, stablecoins, FX and payments, with one API and one compliance program.

Money still moves like it did 20 years ago.
Slow wires, opaque processes and trust in intermediaries, while the businesses they serve run in real time, everywhere. We founded Dakota so the plumbing matches the speed and ambition of the companies building on it.
Regulated from the start
Dakota holds the licenses and runs the compliance program, so the companies building on us can launch without becoming a bank.
Independent
No card network or payments company owns Dakota, so we have no reason to steer your flows or compete for your customers.
The builders behind the platform.
Engineers, designers and operators who have worked on large-scale payment systems, secure custody and regulated financial products.
