# MANSA

> Instant liquidity for cross-border payment companies

MANSA is a liquidity infrastructure company for cross-border payments. It provides licensed payment service providers with on-demand stablecoin-backed capital to settle transactions without prefunding accounts.

MANSA is a liquidity infrastructure company that serves licensed cross-border payment operators, including payment service providers, electronic money institutions, and remittance platforms. It replaces the traditional prefunding model, in which operators must lock capital in accounts across multiple jurisdictions before they can move money, with capital that is delivered at the moment of settlement. This lets payment companies free up working capital while still settling transactions across international corridors.

The platform connects stablecoin liquidity to existing banking and wallet networks rather than building a separate payment rail. Operators access collections, payouts, foreign exchange, and treasury functions through a single API, with settlement occurring through stablecoins to allow continuous, auditable transaction processing. This approach targets markets where correspondent banking relationships are typically slower and more costly to maintain.

MANSA's offering spans several connected services built around its core liquidity product, including instant settlement, institutional foreign exchange pricing, and virtual account infrastructure for local collection and reconciliation. It is used by licensed payment operators across multiple emerging markets who need to move funds across borders without maintaining large prefunded balances. The company is backed by institutional investors and operates as a commercial intermediary connecting its clients to underlying financial and liquidity partners.
