# How is Infinite different from BlindPay?

Infinite is the global financial network built on a compliance system of intelligence: one API opens dedicated bank accounts at bank partners and moves money across SWIFT, US rails, stablecoins, and FX, with counterparty review run once for the whole network. This comparison sets Infinite and BlindPay side by side across the criteria below; every cell in BlindPay’s column was verified against BlindPay’s own public documentation on August 8, 2026, with its source shown beneath it.

## Comparison

| Criterion | Infinite | BlindPay |
| --- | --- | --- |
| **Compliance model**: Who runs KYC/KYB, sanctions screening, and transaction monitoring, and whether counterparty review repeats for every relationship. | KYC/KYB, sanctions screening, and ongoing transaction monitoring run under Infinite’s compliance program. Review is network-wide: a counterparty vetted once is vetted for every business on the network. | BlindPay runs KYC/KYB itself on API-submitted data: automated Standard KYC in about 60 seconds, Enhanced KYC with manual review for high-risk countries, and manually reviewed KYB. A documented RFI process gives customers 24 hours to respond before an on-hold transaction may be refunded, with blocking and non-blocking states, and its compliance page describes real-time screening and continuous transaction monitoring. |
| **Onboarding**: How customers actually get live: who collects what, in whose brand, and how long first-time review takes. | Customers onboard through hosted whitelabel flows in your brand or headless via API: Infinite runs the KYC, KYB, and screening underneath. Full first-time counterparty review closes in 1–2 days, versus the roughly 30 days such review typically takes industry-wide under one-off, per-relationship manual processes. | Onboarding runs on API-submitted data: automated Standard KYC in about 60 seconds, Enhanced KYC with manual review of roughly three hours to one business day for high-risk countries, and manually reviewed KYB, with terms acceptance completed in the end user’s browser. |
| **Data access**: What your systems can see about compliance state: review and RFI states, reasons, and the audit trail behind decisions. | Compliance reviews and requests for information are explicit states your systems can query and subscribe to, with webhooks for every state change and every case assembled and documented before an analyst opens it. Decisions are auditable. | A documented RFI lifecycle exposes blocking and non-blocking review states with a 24-hour response window before an on-hold transaction may be refunded, and Svix-signed webhooks (up to 25 endpoints per instance) carry virtual-account, payin, payout, and wallet events. |
| **Account primitives**: What the customer actually holds: a dedicated bank account, a virtual sub-ledger on a pooled account, or a wallet. | Dedicated demand deposit accounts (DDAs) established at Infinite’s bank partners, unique to each customer with their own account and routing numbers, offered as USD bank accounts and Wallet Accounts (stablecoin custody); a Deposit Account is coming soon. | Virtual accounts (“a dedicated bank account issued in your customer’s name”) auto-convert incoming ACH, wire, RTP, or SWIFT deposits to USDC or USDT and settle to one linked wallet. Wallets are BlindPay-custodied managed wallets (beta) or customer-controlled external wallets. |
| **Rails coverage**: Which payment rails one integration reaches: US bank rails, SWIFT, stablecoins, and FX. | ACH, Fedwire, RTP, SWIFT, and stablecoin transfers (USDC, USDT, OUSD, USDG) from the same account, plus FX across GBP, EUR, MXN, and BRL, with Transfer Routes selecting the rail per corridor. | Payouts over ACH, wire, and RTP (USD), SWIFT, Pix (BRL), SPEI (MXN), Argentine bank transfers, ACH COP, and SEPA (EUR); payins via ACH/wire, Pix, SPEI, ARS transfers, and PSE links. Stablecoins are USDC and USDT across Ethereum, Base, Polygon, Arbitrum, Stellar, and Solana, with Tron in beta; quotes lock FX and fees for five minutes. |
| **Settlement**: When funds actually arrive, including nights, weekends, and rail cutoffs. | Stablecoin transfers settle 24/7, weekends and bank holidays included. USD payments past the ACH cutoff can route to RTP the same day; most SWIFT wires settle same day to two business days once released. | Published per-rail windows: Pix up to 5 minutes; SPEI, ARS transfers, and PSE up to 10 minutes; ACH 1–3 business days, with same-day ACH before 3 pm ET; domestic wires same business day; SWIFT up to 5 business days, per BlindPay’s published cut-off-times page. |
| **Developer surface**: The API, webhooks, hosted flows, and dashboard an engineering and operations team works with. | One typed payments API across every rail, webhooks for every state change, hosted onboarding flows (in your brand or headless via API), and an operations dashboard. Developer documentation at docs.infinite.net. | REST API with a public reference, dashboard-configured Svix-signed webhooks (up to 25 endpoints per instance), and development instances exposing the same API surface as production with auto-approved test KYC and a mintable test stablecoin. Also ships an MCP server and packaged agent skills for AI-driven integration. |
| **Jurisdiction coverage**: Where the provider operates and onboards customers, and under what licensing or partner structure. | Businesses onboard from the United States and the further markets listed at infinite.net/solutions/embedded#supported-markets; payments reach further over SWIFT, with local rails in EUR, GBP, MXN, and BRL. Services are not available in OFAC-sanctioned or otherwise restricted countries, and accounts are provided through a bank partner. | BlindPay states it is registered with FinCEN as a Money Services Business; additional licenses are not listed in its public materials as of the August 2026 verification. Countries are classified as Supported, High-Risk (enhanced diligence required), or Prohibited, reviewed at least quarterly, and fiat rails cover the US, Brazil, Mexico, Argentina, Colombia, and Europe (SEPA). |
