About Frame

A settlement layer
built for institutions.

Frame exists because the money that moves the world still runs on rails built for paper ledgers. We are building the settlement layer institutions can actually trust: fast enough for software, auditable enough for a bank.

Get started arrow_forward How Frame works
1.0 Our mission

Replace correspondent banking
with something verifiable.

Correspondent banking is slow, opaque, and expensive by construction. Our mission is to replace it with a single programmable settlement layer that is faster, cheaper, and verifiable by design, where compliance is how transfers happen, not a check they pass afterward.

2.0 Why now

The window
is open.

Three forces have arrived at once. For the first time, the regulation, the demand, and the technology all point the same way.

01

Regulatory clarity

Stablecoin and digital-asset frameworks are landing across the US, EU, UK, and Canada, giving regulated institutions a defensible path to adopt on-chain settlement.

02

Institutional demand

Banks, PSPs, and treasury teams are actively looking to cut the cost and delay of cross-border settlement without abandoning the controls they are accountable for.

03

Technology readiness

Custody, signing, and verifiable-ledger technology have matured to the point where atomic settlement across fiat and digital-asset rails is operationally real, not theoretical.

Frame is supported by a council of advisors with backgrounds in banking, payments, regulation, and infrastructure engineering. The roster will be published in full alongside the Series A announcement.

4.0 Regulatory posture

We are the rails,
not the vault.

Frame is infrastructure, not a bank. We do not custody customer funds, issue stablecoins, or operate as a money-services business. Those regulated activities sit with our licensed banking partners. Frame builds and runs the software that makes the money move, under the partner's regulatory umbrella.

01

What Frame does not hold

No customer funds, no keys, no stablecoin issuance. Frame never takes custody or discretionary control of customer assets, so it needs no money-transmitter licence, banking charter, or MSB registration. The licensed partner holds those.

02

What Frame maintains

Corporate registration, GDPR compliance as a data processor, and SOC 2 Type II (in progress) for security and operational controls, plus the cyber-security standards our banking partners and their regulators require.

03

Verifiable by design

Every settlement is recorded to a tamper-evident, witness-anchored ledger that any party can verify offline, with no Frame software in the trust path. Compliance is not asserted; it is provable.
