Rapid Funds Delivery

Disaster relief funds delivered directly to individuals or small businesses via Visa, Mastercard, in an electronic or plastic card. Serves all, including the unbanked and underbanked.

Account for Every Dime

Automatic transaction reporting gives charities, foundations, and governments full visibility into how funds are spent, with guardrails against fraud, waste, and abuse.

OUR MISSION

Deliver funds to the right person, right time, right purpose – with the data to prove it.

PaaL convenes leading fintech and smart partners to enable non profits, foundations, corporations and government to deliver funds directly to people and small businesses quickly securely and with transparent reporting that proves every dollar reached its purpose.

Speed with Security

Move funds quickly while protecting recipients and donors, ensuring that aid is immediate and safe from diversion.

Dignity and Choice

Enable recipients to decide what they need most, respecting personal agency and supporting local economies.

Transparency and Accountability

Track every transaction to build trust and measurable impact, making it simple to measure program effectiveness and demonstrate impact to stakeholders.

Equity at Scale

Design for inclusive access so the unbanked are not left behind, removing a critical barrier to ensure aid reaches the most vulnerable.
