Localbridge

Global money management for businesses and freelancers that banks don't serve well - especially in emerging markets. We kept hitting the same wall: opening a foreign-currency business account is slow, expensive or impossible, incoming wires get stuck for days, and FX spreads quietly eat 3–7% of every cross-border payment. So we built Localbridge: virtual accounts in USD, EUR, GBP, MXN, BRL and COP plus protected stablecoin wallets. Receive payments locally, hold a working balance in digital dollars, send cross-border transfers in seconds, and pay teams and contractors worldwide. Non-custodial and compliant, built on Bridge (a Stripe company) rails - we're the product layer on top of regulated infrastructure, for businesses without an engineering team. KYB onboarding in days, no US entity required, fees from 1%, no minimum balance. In payments since 2019 (Smarty Labs).
