The problem
The maritime industry still moves money like it's 1995.
Port agents wait weeks to receive disbursements. Shipping companies juggle dozens of bank accounts across ports. Everyone pays the bank twice — once to send, once to receive.

Average international transfer fee
→ PortPagos: 0.5% flat, no hidden fees
Real-time tracking on bank wires

For port agents
Stop being your customer's bank.
Port agents advance millions in port costs every year — and then wait weeks to get it back. PortPagos flips the model: get paid before the vessel clears, not after the wire arrives.

For shipping companies
One way to pay every port, everywhere.
Managing port disbursements across dozens of countries means dozens of bank accounts, dozens of correspondent banks, and dozens of chances for a payment to go wrong. There's a better way.

No FX exposure
Payments are settled in USD-backed stablecoins. No conversion spread, no rate risk between payment and settlement.
Real-time disbursement tracking
Know the moment a port agent receives funds. No more 'did the wire arrive?' calls.
Built-in audit trail
Every disbursement is permanently recorded. Finance teams get one-click reconciliation exports.
No correspondent bank delays
Funds move directly — no intermediary banks adding days and fees to every transaction.
Works with your existing workflow
No integration required. Click a payment link, approve the amount, done.
Infrastructure
Enterprise-grade infrastructure. Zero custody risk.
PortPagos never holds your money. Every step of the payment flow is handled by licensed, regulated partners — we are the orchestration layer, not the bank.
Regulated partners only
Every financial service in PortPagos is provided by licensed and regulated entities. Bridge holds money transmission licences. USDC is issued by Circle, a regulated financial institution.
KYC / KYB verified
All merchants are fully identity-verified before accepting payments. All customers are verified before sending. Compliant with EU AML directives.
1:1 USD backing
USDC is always redeemable 1:1 for US dollars. Circle holds equivalent reserves in cash and short-term US treasuries. Your balance is never exposed to speculative assets.
Immutable audit trail
Every payment is recorded on the Base network. Payment references are permanent, timestamped, and verifiable by your finance team or auditors at any time.
Results
Built for teams that can't afford a payment to go wrong.
Port agents and shipping companies use PortPagos to replace the bank wire — not because it's new technology, but because it actually works.

Failed settlements to date
“We used to advance port costs and wait three weeks for reimbursement. With PortPagos we send a link and the funds are in our account before the vessel departs. It changed how we think about cash flow.”
