What makes Altitude different

  • Eligible businesses in 200+ countries can access Altitude without needing a US entity.

  • Use stablecoins and local payment networks to move money faster and at a lower cost. Send stablecoins 24/7 with no transfer or network fees. For local payouts, see the exchange rate and the amount your recipient will receive before you send.

  • Altitude reads invoices and fills in payment details, matches receipts to card transactions, and suggests accounting categories based on your transaction history. Your team stays in control of payment approvals and accounting entries. With Altitude MCP, you can also connect your own AI agents to your Altitude workspace and put your financial data to work. Ask an agent to check balances, review transactions, analyze spending, or retrieve financial documents without moving between tools.

  • Payments, cards, bills, invoices, and accounting work together around one operating account. That means fewer tools to manage and less manual work moving money and data between them.

  • Configure permissions, approvals, and limits around how your business operates. As you automate more workflows, those rules define what humans and agents can do, which actions need approval, and where your team stays involved.

The team behind Altitude

Our story

We started Squads in 2021 to build programmable accounts that help organizations manage digital assets securely. Our team was global from day one, and we ran the business on stablecoins without a bank account.

As stablecoin adoption grew, our customers began using those accounts to run payroll, pay suppliers, and manage their day to day finances. Infrastructure originally built for specialized digital asset use cases was becoming a foundation for everyday business finance. Today, it secures billions of dollars and processes billions in stablecoin payments each month.

We built Altitude to bring that foundation to businesses around the world, giving them a global account and faster, cheaper ways to move money.

Our team

We’re a team of 45, with offices in New York, Amsterdam, Berlin, and Dubai. Our backgrounds span engineering, security, product, design, and financial services. All of our financial operations run on Altitude.
