Overview
Anton Payments is a cross-border payout infrastructure platform. Businesses use Anton to send payouts across borders without stitching together dozens of payment providers, banking partners, and compliance tools. You integrate once, and Anton handles routing, screening, and delivery across every corridor.
Key Features
Multi-rail routing -- SWIFT, SEPA, ACH, FPS, mobile money, cards, and crypto are all accessible through a single integration. Anton automatically selects the optimal path for each payout based on corridor, speed, and cost.
Compliance from day one -- OFAC and sanctions screening, PEP checks, velocity rules, and maker-checker approvals run automatically on every transaction. The platform is built for SOC 2, PCI DSS, and ISO 27001.
Real-time lifecycle tracking -- Follow every payout from creation through screening, processing, and delivery. Webhooks fire on every state change, or you can poll anytime via the API.
Double-entry ledger -- Every money movement produces balanced debit and credit entries. Reconciliation is automatic, not a monthly fire drill.
How It Works
Sending a payout with Anton involves three steps:
Register a payee -- Store who you are paying, including their bank account, mobile wallet, or crypto address. Payee details are tokenized and isolated per merchant. Create once, pay repeatedly.
Submit a payout -- Call the Payouts API with the amount, currency, and destination. Anton screens the transaction against sanctions lists and your risk rules, selects the best rail, and submits the payment.
Track and confirm -- Receive webhook events as the payout moves through each stage, or query the status endpoint. When funds land, you get confirmation with the settlement reference.
Supported Payment Methods
Anton supports a wide range of payout methods:
Bank transfers -- SWIFT, SEPA, ACH, Faster Payments, and local clearing systems
Mobile money -- Pay to mobile wallets in supported corridors
Cards -- Deliver funds directly to debit and prepaid cards
Stablecoins and crypto -- Pay out in USDC, USDT, or other supported cryptocurrencies
Payout Flows
Anton supports multiple funding and delivery combinations:
Fiat to fiat (cross-border bank transfers)
Stablecoin to fiat (fund with crypto, deliver to a bank account)
Stablecoin to stablecoin
Stablecoin to other cryptocurrency
Core Concepts
To get started with Anton, you will work with a few key objects:
Payouts -- The core object representing a money movement from your balance to a payee across any supported rail and corridor.
Payees -- Your payment recipients. Store their details once with tokenized PII, then pay them on demand.
Balances -- Your funded accounts by currency. Payouts debit from these balances in real time.
Webhooks -- Real-time event notifications for payout status changes, delivery confirmations, and compliance flags.
