/ why atlas logica
Africa, Asia, Latin America. Modern rails, regulated partners, a UK team behind every transfer.
FCA-regulated in the UK via a Principal lease, plugged into licensed on/off-ramp partners across Africa, Asia and LatAm. Corridor by corridor, starting with Nigeria, Kenya and Ghana.
Every payment shows its current rail, the FX rate locked at quote, and a predicted landing time at each hop.
Routing is automated. Your relationship is not. Direct line to a UK ops lead — never a ticket queue.
/ inside the engine
Banks rely on correspondent chains. We replace the slow, opaque middle leg with regulated, fully-reserved settlement rails — and route every payment through licensed partners on both sides.
Regulated rails
Atlas Logica is FCA-regulated in the UK as an agent under a Principal payment institution — the same lease model used by many credible UK fintechs at launch. Client funds sit in safeguarded accounts at the Principal. In each destination we connect to licensed local on/off-ramp partners (e.g. Bitso-class venues in LatAm, licensed PSPs and banks in Africa and Asia), so every leg of the payment is operated by a regulated entity.
Hybrid settlement
Where it makes sense, the cross-border leg uses regulated, fully-reserved stablecoins (USDC-class) between licensed liquidity venues — converted into local currency on arrival via a domestic partner. Fully hedged via Tier-1 FX liquidity hooks. Zero client exposure to crypto, zero token risk on your invoice.
Routing engine
Every quote is scored across multiple verified routes — bank wire, instant domestic (NIP, UPI, PIX), and regulated stablecoin legs — picking the cheapest path per payment, per corridor, per minute. Removing the correspondent-bank middle leg is where the 20%+ saving comes from. The routing logic and partner stack are our IP.
Stablecoin settlement legs are used only between licensed venues under regulated frameworks. Clients send GBP, suppliers receive local currency. No crypto ever touches your books.
/ corridor reach
When digital providers suspend business payments to Nigeria, Kenya, Ghana — banks become the only option at 3–5% all-in. We keep these corridors open at mid-market FX plus a transparent take rate.

When low-cost digital providers withdraw from a corridor, UK businesses are pushed back to bank fees of 3–5%. Atlas Logica is built so that never has to happen.
