# Performa

> Global Payment Infrastructure for Modern Businesses

Performa is a B2B crypto payment infrastructure platform that lets businesses accept crypto payments, execute OTC transactions, and send cross-border payouts.

Performa is a financial infrastructure company that helps businesses accept, send, and manage crypto and fiat payments through a single platform. It consolidates payment acceptance, OTC deal execution, revenue distribution, and global payroll into one system, targeted at companies that have outgrown fragmented banking and payment tools. Users configure automated revenue splits, send bulk payouts to teams and partners across multiple countries using fiat and crypto rails, and accept customer payments without chargeback exposure.

The platform addresses the gap between traditional banking, which can be slow and fragmented across borders, and standalone crypto tools, which often lack payroll, compliance, and day to day financial workflows. Onboarding includes automated identity verification, and compliance and transaction monitoring are integrated at the infrastructure level rather than added separately. OTC transactions are handled through a request and matching process that connects clients with verified trading partners.

Core offerings include a payments hub for accepting and managing crypto payments, an OTC desk for high volume crypto transactions, payment links for simple checkout, and a global payouts service for distributed teams and suppliers. It serves globally operating businesses, including crypto native companies, mining and hardware firms, marketplaces, e-commerce platforms, and donation platforms that deal with cross-border payments and fragmented banking systems.

## Products

- [Performa](https://thegrid.id/profiles/performa): Performa is a B2B payment infrastructure platform that unifies cryptocurrency acceptance, cross-border payouts, and OTC trading access into a single API-driven system for globally operating businesses. Merchants and platforms accept multiple cryptocurrencies through checkout integration, payment links, or embedded revenue-splitting tools, while contractors and partners receive automated batch payouts across many countries. Businesses can also access structured over-the-counter crypto transactions through vetted counterparties within a compliance framework that includes KYC/KYB onboarding and AML screening. A non-custodial, wallet-based version of the platform is in development, allowing funds to remain in a user's own wallet rather than a platform balance.
