In depth

Bridge sits between fintech apps and the regulated banking + crypto exchange world. Customers see the fintech's app; Bridge handles money-transmitter licensing, partner-bank relationships, ACH execution, and the regulated USD ↔ crypto exchange leg.

Bridge was acquired by Stripe in 2024 and remains the canonical infrastructure for US fintechs that want both banking + crypto in one stack.
