# Avenia

> Borderless liquidity

Avenia is a cross-border payments company connecting Latin America to global markets. It provides API and web platform infrastructure for currency conversion, treasury management, and local payment rail integration.

Avenia is a financial services company that builds cross-border money movement infrastructure connecting Latin America to global markets. It offers application programming interfaces and a web platform that let businesses send, receive, convert, and hold funds across currencies without needing a local entity in each market. The company serves fintechs, platforms, and treasury teams that need to move capital between Latin America and international markets.

The platform addresses friction in traditional cross-border transfers, such as multi-day settlement, limited banking hours, and fragmented compliance processes. It integrates with local payment rails, converts between currencies such as the Brazilian real and the US dollar, and settles transactions using stablecoin based rails alongside licensed payment institutions. Compliance and reporting functions are built into the infrastructure to help clients manage treasury, tax, and regulatory requirements across jurisdictions.

Its offering spans an API for embedding cross-border payment flows into other products, a direct treasury and payments interface for corporate finance teams, and a proprietary stablecoin pegged to the Brazilian real that supports settlement and liquidity. Avenia publishes periodic reserve attestations for its stablecoin. It is used by fintechs, consumer applications, and corporate treasuries operating between Latin America and other global markets, and it previously operated under a different brand name before adopting its current identity.

## Products

- [Avenia API](https://thegrid.id/profiles/avenia): Avenia API is a payments infrastructure product that aggregates cross-border payment rails into unified API endpoints for developers and businesses. It processes local payment methods such as PIX and SPEI alongside stablecoin conversions, enabling real-time settlement between Brazilian reais, US dollars, and other currencies. Businesses use it to embed cross-border payment flows, currency conversion, and treasury operations directly into their own products. (Payments Infrastructure & Orchestration, Live)
- [Avenia Pay](https://thegrid.id/profiles/avenia): Avenia Pay is a web-based treasury management platform that lets businesses move capital between international entities and convert between currencies such as the Brazilian real and the US dollar. It provides no-code setup for cross-border treasury operations, foreign exchange conversion, and access to US Treasury-linked yield, settling transactions through stablecoin-based infrastructure. A dedicated corridor of the platform, marketed toward corporate treasury teams, finance controllers, and chief financial officers, settles transfers between Brazil, the United States, and Europe within minutes under a regulated payment institution framework, with onboarding handled through a scheduled demo rather than a separate application. Companies operating across Latin America use Avenia Pay to manage compliance, tax, and treasury complexity without building their own settlement rails.
