Operating Principles

How we build.

Security Absolute

We operate in a zero-trust environment. Security is not a feature, it is the foundation of every line of code we ship.

Developer Empathy

We build tools for builders. Our APIs must be intuitive, self-documenting, and a joy to integrate.

Relentless Execution

The global financial system never sleeps, and neither does our commitment to shipping reliable, high-performance infrastructure.

Our Journey

Milestones & Moments

2021

The Genesis

Founded in a small SF garage. We wrote our first line of code to process transactions instantly without legacy bank fees.

2023

Series B Funding

Raised $150M to scale our global infrastructure and expanded our engineering hubs to London and Singapore.

2026

Global Rollout

Processing over $50B in annualized volume, supporting developers in 120+ countries with 99.999% uptime.

Help us build the
future of money.

We are actively looking for exceptional engineers, product designers, and compliance experts to join our hubs in SF, London, and remote.

Our DNA

We don't just write code. We architect trust.

Behind every API call and transaction is a philosophy grounded in radical transparency, uncompromising security, and a relentless drive to empower builders.

First Principles

We break complex financial systems down to their fundamental truths and rebuild them to be faster, leaner, and infinitely scalable.

Radical Candor

No egos. Just a shared pursuit of excellence. We challenge ideas directly but care deeply about the humans behind them.

Infinite Horizon

We are playing the long game. Every architectural decision is made with the next decade of the internet's evolution in mind.

Global Scale

Local presence.
Global impact.

We operate as a distributed network. Our team spans across 14 timezones, ensuring true global coverage and diverse perspectives in everything we build.

Support & FAQ

Got Questions?

How fast is the integration process?

Most modern teams can get up and running with our sandbox in under 15 minutes. Moving to production typically takes 2-3 business days as we perform mandatory compliance and KYC checks on your business profile.

Do you support recurring billing?

Yes, we have a robust subscription API. You can handle complex logic like prorations, free trials, usage-based billing, and automatic dunning management without writing custom infrastructure.

What currencies are supported?

We currently support processing in over 130 fiat currencies and settlement in 50+. We also support native settlement in major cryptocurrencies (USDC, BTC, ETH) for enterprise clients.

Are my funds safe?

Absolutely. Velocity is a licensed money transmitter. All client funds are safeguarded in Tier-1 banking institutions globally, completely isolated from our operational capital. We are also PCI DSS Level 1 certified.
