Combining equal expertise in traditional finance and digital asset treasury solutions, Orbital is a trusted and regulated partner for global financial management.
Until now, multinationals have been forced to choose their finance tools piecemeal. We provide our clients with all they need to run their financial operations from a single interface; multi-currency accounts, custody vaults, international payments and FX supporting 30+ fiat and exotic currencies, and crypto-commerce C2B payments.
What is our mission?:
We are on an exciting mission to revolutionise corporate treasury management through innovative multi-currency payment accounts (including virtual IBANs) and digital assets offering. Our company sits at the frontier of digital assets (crypto assets) and traditional (fiat) finance and is leading the way to bridging those two worlds for corporate clients globally.
We believe digital assets are here to stay, and we want to be the first to bring a combined offering of payment services and digital assets under one exciting platform. Learn more about our team and company storyhere.
