Chard· Money

Payment routing without lock-in.

Stripe wants you to settle everything through Stripe. Adyen wants you to settle everything through Adyen. Chard is provider-agnostic — every payment is routed in milliseconds across the cheapest healthy rail, with a warm fallback you don't see and don't have to think about.

Per-corridor scoring

We model the right rail before money leaves.

Each corridor has a live model that scores success-rate × fee × latency under your policy. The advisor publishes its scoring so you can see why it picked Wise SEPA-Instant over Fedwire for the $14,820 USD→EUR — and so an auditor can verify it years later.

Chargeback resolution

Disputes resolved in 22 ms of agent work, 9 s of human signing.

When a chargeback arrives, Chard auto-collects the evidence (3DS auth, IP match, prior payment history, Sage re-screen, sealed transcripts) and an agent compiles the bundle. A human reviews and signs with a hardware key. The whole packet posts to Bean — and your win rate is no longer a function of how busy your AR team is.

Chard vs. the rail providers

An orchestrator that survives any provider failing.

Single-provider rails fail. Diversification is the only way out.

Capability-bounded payment authority.

Agents can route payments up to a policy ceiling without human touch — and every payment is escortable: a human can revoke a capability mid-flight, the in-flight payment will be marked for review at settle time.
