Who we areAbout Bridge

Bridge is building a new payments platform powered by stablecoins to make global money movement simpler, faster, and more accessible. Through our APIs, businesses can send and receive funds across borders, give customers access to dollars through virtual accounts, and disburse USD globally.

Our team has built financial infrastructure at companies including Coinbase, the company, Square, Brex, Upstart, DoorDash, and Airbnb. We are united by the conviction that stablecoins can materially improve how money moves around the world.
