# MANSA

> Instant Liquidity for Cross-Border Payment Companies

MANSA provides secured, real-time credit facilities to licensed PSPs, EMIs, and remittance platforms : eliminating the prefunding requirements that tie up working capital and slow cross-border settlement. $320M+ facilitated across Africa, Asia, and Latin America since August 2024

Cross-border payment companies face a structural problem: to move money, they must first park millions in prefunded accounts across dozens of jurisdictions. MANSA eliminates that drag.
We provide ultra-short-term, secured credit facilities that let licensed payment operators settle transactions instantly : without prefunding. Settlement occurs on-chain via USDT, enabling 24/7 operations, full auditability, and deterministic settlement across any corridor, including the high-growth emerging markets where traditional correspondent banking is slowest and most expensive.
Since launching in August 2024, MANSA has facilitated $320M+ in transaction volume, financed $160M+ in payments, and grown 574% in six months. We are backed by Tether, Headquartered in Dubai and a member of Hub71, Abu Dhabi's global tech ecosystem.
