PAYMENTS CENTRAL
One API. Every payment rail. Reconciliation that actually reconciles.
You're a fintech, a platform, or an operator who has outgrown a single PSP. You need to route across acquirers, handle 3DS, manage retries, settle to multiple destinations, and produce a daily reconciliation that finance trusts. Payments Central is the layer that handles all of that, so your team can ship product instead of payments plumbing.
Key features
- Acquirer-agnostic: route by cost, success rate, or geography.
- Card-present and card-not-present, real-time payouts, and account-to-account rails.
- Programmable settlement: split, hold, escrow, or sub-merchant payouts.
- Reconciliation engine with first-class export to your ledger.
- Webhooks, idempotency keys, and a sandbox that mirrors production behavior.
Why teams pick it
- Designed by people who have integrated payments at three previous companies and got tired of the same broken patterns.
- Pricing is interchange-plus and visible on the site — no "call us."
- Subsidiary of Red Mutex, so the support and engineering you get isn't a contractor in a queue.
