VERTICAL · 03 · FINTECH

Money that arrives. Every rail. Every market.

We build the systems behind cross-border payments, crypto rails, and the daily treasury work that has to balance to the penny — for operators who can't afford a missed settlement window.

TREASURY · LIVE

Every rail, reconciled in real time.

The stream on the right is what your treasury team would see at 06:00. Fiat wires, card rails, and crypto settlement all into the same ledger. PEND turns OK in seconds, RECON gets flagged before the books close.

Live demo · representative transactions · your actual data never leaves your tenant.

SETTLEMENT · WINDOWS

The speed of money, laid bare.

We're rail-agnostic by design. The right rail for the right movement — not whichever rail the legacy stack happens to support.

WHAT WE BUILD

Three pillars of fintech infrastructure.

Three brass timezone clocks above a 'DAWN · WIRE-OK' docket with a priority blue tape-flag and a fan of dated index cards.

01 · CROSS-BORDER

Cross-border payments that don't sit in correspondent purgatory.

Multi-currency settlement with FX baked in. Direct rails where they exist (FedNow, SEPA Instant), correspondent wires where they don't, with full chain of custody visible to your treasury team.

A hardware security key resting on a walnut desk beside a leather folio open to calligraphed recovery phrases, a brass key on velvet, and a wax-sealed envelope.

02 · CRYPTO RAILS

Crypto rails for institutions that can't get the security wrong.

Stablecoin settlement (USDC, USDT, EURC, PYUSD, DAI), cold-storage custody integrations, on/off-ramps with KYC built in. Held to the same audit bar as your fiat rails.

A hand entering a value into a paper ledger with a fountain pen, beside an antique mechanical calculator and a bundle of approval slips sealed with a blue wax stamp.

03 · TREASURY

Treasury and reconciliation that closes the day on the day.

Daily close on the day, not the week. Every entry sourced, every adjustment signed, every variance investigated. The kind of treasury practice your auditor stops worrying about.

RAILS · ONE ORCHESTRATOR

Every rail you'd want. Under one orchestration.

We don't pick favourite rails. We pick the right rail per movement, abstract them so your engineers don't, and surface the lot to your treasury team as one ledger.

OPERATING NOTES

What we've learned, written down.

Short notes from live engagements — published so other operators can borrow the lessons without re-paying for them.

A hand placing a customer identification document onto a stack of others, with a single electric-blue tape flag bookmarking the top doc.

WHITE PAPER · 01

KYC and AML that don't grind onboarding to a halt

How to layer verification by risk tier, so 80% of customers clear in seconds and the high-risk 20% gets the human review they actually need.

WHITE PAPER · 02

Audit-ready by default, not by sprint

Every transaction, every change, every approval — sealed and signed at the moment it happens. Why the audit-after-the-fact model is finally over.

WHITE PAPER · 03

Payment orchestration without rail favouritism

The bill of materials for a real rail-agnostic stack — and how it pays back inside one quarter on cross-border alone.

BUILT TO THE REGULATOR'S BAR

Your stack passes the audit that comes for you.

We ship to the certifications your regulators and your buyers will name in their first email — and we treat them as a baseline, not a marketing badge.

CERTIFICATE01 · CARD HANDLING
PCI-DSS L1

PCI-DSS Level 1 — the audit, not the self-assessment.

Annual external QSA assessment. Card data tokenised at the edge, never on your application layer, never in your logs.

AI IN FINTECH

AI in the trade, never in the seat of judgement.

We integrate AI where it sharpens the human decision — fraud signal, AML triage, treasury optimisation — and we keep the final-call with the licensed human. Every recommendation cites its source.

01
MS
<50

Fraud signal, not fraud verdict

Real-time scoring on every transaction, surfaced alongside the rule chain that fired. The analyst sees the model's confidence and the evidence — they sign off, the system doesn't.

02
TRIAGE LIFT
12×

AML triage that respects the regulator

ML-assisted suspicious-activity flagging that hands the case to the compliance team with a populated SAR draft — never auto-submits, always reviewed.

03
TRACEABLE
100%

Treasury optimisation with citations

Cash-position projections, FX-window suggestions, idle-balance sweeps — each one surfaced with the data it leaned on. If we can't explain the recommendation, we don't ship it.

FUNDS & DATA · COVENANT

Money and customer data are sacred. We treat both that way.

Encryption at rest, encryption in transit, audit trail per read and per write, segregation of duties enforced at the platform layer. Your customer data and your money flows stay in your tenant, on your infrastructure, under your control.

  • Verified

    DUAL-CONTROL

    Two-person rule, by default.

    Every monetary movement over your set threshold requires two distinct authorised humans. The platform enforces it — the policy can't be bypassed by a junior copying a senior's session.

  • Verified

    TENANT-LOCAL

    Single-tenant, your-keys-only.

    Your customer data and transaction history live in your tenant, encrypted with keys you control. Hylen never holds customer financial data on shared infrastructure.

  • Verified

    IMMUTABLE-AUDIT

    Append-only audit log of everything.

    Every read, every write, every approval, every override — written to an immutable, tamper-evident log. Replayable by your compliance team without involving us.

  • Verified

    BREACH · PLAYBOOK

    Breach playbook signed before day one.

    We sign the notification timelines and runbook BEFORE the engagement starts, not after. Your regulator and your customers find out fast — that's the whole point.

WHY THIS MATTERS

Fintech doesn't fail at the happy path. It fails at the audit, at the reversal, at the rail that went down on a Tuesday. The system you ship is the one that survives those days.
