Announcing Caliza

Caliza, the fast-growing fintech building real-time global payment rails and USD account infrastructure for businesses across the US, Asia, Latin America and beyond, has selected Dfns as its primary wallet provider. This partnership brings together two companies focused on the same goal: delivering secure, compliant, and instant financial operations at a global scale.

Their API and Global Dashboard give importers, exporters, marketplaces, payroll platforms, and financial institutions the ability to send and receive international payments in real time, access digital dollar accounts, manage multi-currency treasury flows, and operate with full compliance baked into every step. Their approach to cross-border payments, leveraging stablecoins like USDT and USDC, integrating with existing real-time payment networks, allows businesses to bypass the delays of SWIFT and unlock instant settlement. Dfns is proud to power the blockchain wallet infrastructure behind this experience.

Caliza is on a mission to eliminate geography as a barrier

Brazil’s Pix network reshaped domestic payments by proving that real-time, compliant, always-available money movement is not only possible but inevitable. Businesses across Latin America now expect the same speed, predictability, and transparency for international payments, and Caliza is one of the best companies redefining what cross-border settlement should look like.

Caliza’s mission is ambitious and universal: eliminate geography as a barrier to economic opportunity. Their platform enables any business, whether in Hong Kong, Mumbai, São Paulo, Mexico City, or Shanghai, to send and receive USD instantly, access stable liquidity, automate treasury operations, and operate globally without being constrained by legacy banking timelines.

At the heart of this mission are two core products:

• The Caliza Global Dashboard, giving finance and treasury teams a real-time command center for funding accounts, routing cross-border payments, managing FX flows, and monitoring settlement.
• The Caliza API, powering embedded USD accounts, instant stablecoin settlement, and programmable compliance for banks, fintechs, marketplaces, PSPs, and global platforms.

Both offerings sit on top of Caliza’s multi-jurisdiction compliance stack, spanning the U.S., Brazil, Bermuda, and an upcoming entry into Mexico, giving enterprises the regulatory assurance needed to scale globally.

Their infrastructure is already powering real-world use cases across the globe. Banks and fintechs rely on Caliza to deliver instant cross-border transfers using USDC as a settlement rail, exporters and importers use USD accounts and stable liquidity to absorb FX volatility, marketplaces unlock faster supplier payouts, payroll platforms send international salaries in seconds, and supply chain operators recover days of lost working capital by replacing slow SWIFT wires with real-time settlement.

Caliza has raised more than $13 million from Initialized, New Form Capital, Better Tomorrow Ventures, DCG, and other top investors, and adoption continues to grow among institutions seeking to modernize cross-border payments, stabilize liquidity, and bring real-time treasury operations to their customers.

Stablecoins like USDC and USDT play a central role in this evolution, but unlocking global, instant settlement at scale requires secure wallet infrastructure capable of withstanding regulatory scrutiny, high-volume throughput, and multi-chain operational demands. That’s the foundation Dfns now provides, supporting Caliza as they build the next chapter of global financial infrastructure.

A partnership built on security, compliance, and real-time performance

Caliza operates in some of the world’s most complex regulatory environments, including the U.S., Hong Kong, Mexico, Brazil and Bermuda. Their clients expect real-time movement of funds, multi-chain stability, and a level of governance that meets institutional expectations.

Dfns provides the cryptographic and operational foundation that makes this possible. By relying on Dfns’ secure, API-first wallet platform, powered by distributed MPC signing, rigorous policy controls, and bank-grade auditability, Caliza can safely generate, manage, and orchestrate millions of dollars in digital asset flows.

For Caliza, the decision centered on four factors:

1. Transaction lifecycle management with multichain access: Dfns gives Caliza the ability to manage every step of a transaction, from creation to confirmation to final settlement, across 100+ supported networks and third-party applications. The platform integrates with third-party services and automation engines to build reliable, rules-driven workflows. This allows Caliza to orchestrate FX conversions, on/off-ramps, treasury rebalancing, compliance checks, and payout automation without manual intervention.
2. Security that meets enterprise and regulatory standards: Dfns’ key orchestration service (KOS) enabling to plug in any KMS, including MPC-based key architecture eliminating single points of failure and providing encrypted, programmable signing workflows suitable for fintechs operating under strict oversight. This level of defense is essential for the kinds of USD accounts, money movement, and automated treasury services Caliza offers.
3. Reliability for 24/7 settlement and global treasury operations: Caliza’s value proposition depends on transactions clearing instantly, even across borders. Dfns provides high uptime, redundant signing infrastructure, and low-latency operations across major chains like Solana, Ethereum, and additional networks Caliza uses to support local payment rails.
4. Flexibility to scale across jurisdictions, partners, and currencies: Caliza’s business spans import/export flows, marketplace payouts, supply chain finance, remittances, international payroll, and digital banking infrastructure. Dfns enables them to scale wallet creation, signing, and policy management across all of these use cases with a single, unified API.

As they scale their Global Dashboard, their API, and their regulatory footprint, Dfns will continue to provide the secure wallet infrastructure powering that expansion. 

This is just the beginning. Caliza is building the future of global financial operations. Dfns is proud to help make it possible. If your fintech, bank, or platform is building global treasury or stablecoin-enabled payment flows, Dfns is ready to help.
