Traditional finance runs on delays.
Money moves slowly. Credit takes days. Settlement takes longer.
As a result, trillions in capital sit idle. Frozen, waiting for approvals, reconciliations, and batch processes that belong to another era.

The numbers are staggering:

• The global payments system moves over $200 trillion every year, yet remains slow, costly, and capital-inefficient.

• Nearly $27 trillion sits locked in pre-funded accounts across the system at any moment.

• Remittances still average ~6% in fees, despite being one of the most mission-critical flows on the planet.

• Meanwhile, stablecoins have exploded into a $300B+ market, proving digital dollars can move globally in real time.

Kred believes this should change.
Kred is how it changes.

Kred: The Internet of Credit

A programmable liquidity layer that connects stablecoin deposits to real-world, short-tenor credit demand.

Think of Kred as the invisible engine powering global money movement ensuring liquidity is always available, instantly deployable, and continuously productive.

The Problem: Idle Capital Everywhere

Across the global financial system, capital is stuck in waiting rooms.

It sits as pre-funding.
As collateral.
As buffer.
As float.

• Remittance companies must pre-fund corridors.

• Fintechs park cash for settlement windows.

• Enterprises hold payroll liquidity days in advance.

• Card programs lock capital for authorisations.

• Trade finance traps cash behind credit checks and documents.

It’s like owning a fleet of trucks but forcing them to idle in a parking lot.
Useful assets become dead weight.

How Kred Transforms Payments

Cross-border payments today are slow because the system was designed around intermediaries, nostro accounts, and pre-funding. Even with stablecoins, PSPs still wait for inflows or minting cycles before they can move money.

Kred changes this.
It introduces real-time, programmable credit before inflows arrive. Eliminating the need to wait, pre-fund, or lock float.

Below is how the entire payment flow:

1. Traditional Cross-Border Payments (Without Stables)

(T+2 to T+5 end-to-end)

This system runs on SWIFT, nostro accounts, and pre-funded liquidity buffers.

• PSP collects funds in local fiat from the sending merchant

• Inflows are pooled and settled into a domestic USD account

• Funds are sent to a correspondent bank in another country (T+2 or longer)

• Local PSP receives funds and re-funds local float

• Merchant finally gets credited

Every step is sequential.
Every step locks liquidity.

2. Cross-Border Payments With Kred

(Truly real-time end-to-end)

This is where the payment flow becomes instant + capital-efficient.

• PSP receives transaction confirmation

• Instead of waiting for inflows or minting USDC, PSP taps a Kred line instantly

• Stablecoins move to the destination PSP instantly

• Off-ramp converts to local fiat

• Merchant is credited

The key unlock:
Kred provides just-in-time credit so PSPs no longer wait for inflows, settlement windows, or minting cycles. Liquidity becomes on-demand, not pre-funded.

Why This Matters

Before Kred

Pre-funding, nostro buffers, SWIFT delays, settlement cycles → capital locked for days.

After Kred

• Credit is available the moment a transaction is initiated

• PSPs can operate with near-zero pre-funding

• Cross-border settlement becomes a real-time system

• Treasury ops become simpler, cheaper, and more efficient

• End customers experience dramatically faster payouts

Kred goes beyond improving on-chain settlement speed by removing the operational waiting layers that traditionally precede and follow it.

Built for Real Use Cases

Kred is designed for institutions moving real money, every day:

• Remittances → Live corridor liquidity

• Brokerage & fintech settlements → Eliminate pre-funding delays

• Payroll → Pay on time without locking capital early

• Card pre-funding → Reduce float without increasing risk

• Trade finance → Real-time credit backed by repayment flows

In every case, Kred reduces waiting and unlocks working capital.

Kred imagines a world where:

• capital is never idle,

• credit is instant,

• and liquidity becomes programmable.

A world where stablecoins do more than stay stable, they work.

Kred is the first step toward this future:
A financial infrastructure built for global institutions and global builders.

Finance has been stuck in neutral for decades.Kred shifts it into real-time.
