The Challenge with Today’s Cross-Border Payments

For too long, small and medium-sized businesses (SMBs) have faced a difficult choice when trading internationally: accept significant payment risk or miss out on growth opportunities. The fear of fraud and payment disputes is a major barrier, preventing countless entrepreneurs from expanding into new markets.

Traditional payment systems often lack the transparency and security needed to give businesses confidence. This gap doesn't just lead to financial losses—it creates hesitation, slows down commerce, and limits potential. We believe there is a better way to trade.

How We're Rebuilding Global Payments with Trust

At LiquidTrust, we are focused on solving this problem at its core. Our nomination for this award highlights the impact of our approach to fintech innovation.

Our solution, Protected Pay powered by our patent-pending Micro Escrow™ technology, is designed to embed trust and security directly into every transaction. Instead of leaving trust to chance, we build it into the payment flow.

Here’s how it works:

• Secure Fund Control: Funds are held securely and are only released when verified milestones in the transaction are met.

• Automated Verification: We automate crucial Know Your Customer (KYC) and Know Your Business (KYB) checks to ensure both parties are vetted.

• Full Transparency: Every step of the transaction is tracked, creating a clear and auditable payment trail for all parties.

What is Micro Escrow™? Micro Escrow™ is our patent-pending technology that embeds conditional fund control and automated compliance checks into every transaction, enabling secure commerce at any scale.

This approach transforms payments from a source of risk into a driver of growth, giving businesses the confidence to trade with anyone, anywhere.

What This Recognition Means to Us

Being named a finalist by the PayTech Awards USA is more than an honor. It is validation that the industry recognizes the urgent need for a new standard in payment security and trust. It energizes our team to continue building the tools that help businesses of all sizes succeed in the global marketplace.

We extend our gratitude to the judges at Fintech Futures for this recognition and congratulate all the other outstanding finalists. We look forward to the awards ceremony in November.
