Your finance stack should keep up with your product

AI companies reach paying customers in weeks. Altery lets you receive money, fund operations and pay globally without a patchwork of personal cards and disconnected tools.

Pay for the technology behind your product

Pay for AI platforms, cloud, data and software with Visa or UnionPay business cards. Keep company spend apart from personal finances.

Receive money from customers and investors

Receive customer payments, partner funds and investment into your business account, in the currencies you use.

Pay a distributed team

Send international payments to contractors, developers and suppliers. When payment volume grows, use mass payments to reduce repetitive work and errors.

Keep more than one card network available

Visa and UnionPay have different acceptance across regions. Having both gives you more flexibility.

New company.
Real business.

A newly incorporated startup may not have years of financial statements or payment history. What it should have is a product, credible founders and a clear explanation of how money will move. Our review focuses on understanding the business you are building, its ownership, funding, customers and expected activity.

We welcome clear, legitimate businesses at the beginning of their journey. Approval is never automatic, but being early-stage is not the same as being unexplained.

Startup founders working together

One account for the way an AI startup spends

1. AI and cloud subscriptions

Pay eligible recurring costs for model providers, compute, storage, developer tools and productivity software from a dedicated business card.

2. Global suppliers and contractors

Send money across borders through established payment rails instead of relying on personal accounts or manual workarounds.

3. Controlled company spending

Use separate cards and clear limits for different purposes, such as cloud, software, advertising or travel. Track card activity in one place.

4. Customer money coming in

Receive eligible business payments into the same account you use to fund operations, exchange currencies and pay out.

Built for the company you are becoming

Stage 1

Launch

Open a business account, receive your first payments and move recurring business costs away from personal cards.

Stage 2

Grow

Add cards, higher payment volumes and mass payouts as your team, suppliers and customer base expand.

Stage 3

Scale

Use Altery’s Business API to automate payment workflows. If payments become part of your own product, talk to us about card issuing and regulated payment infrastructure.

The company you are building today may look very different in twelve months. Choose a payment partner designed to grow with it.
