In a Nutshell
Guardarian is building the infrastructure that powers global crypto adoption. Their mission is simple yet ambitious: make crypto accessible to everyone, everywhere. Through a seamless gateway, they enable users to purchase digital assets instantly across exchanges, wallets, Web3 apps, and other platforms - no friction, no complexity. That same focus on speed and simplicity also extends beyond product design, into the payment experience itself.
The Challenge
Traditional Payments Aren’t Built for Crypto
As expanded its global crypto platform, legacy payment methods became a bottleneck for crypto users. Customers who selected traditional bank payment methods often encountered a slower, more fragmented checkout experience, manually entering bank details and dealing with slow SEPA settlement times, which could delay access to funds by several days.
In a fast-moving environment like crypto, which is borderless and instant by nature, that kind of friction doesn’t work. Guardarian needed a payment partner that not only offered better infrastructure than legacy players, but also understood the unique needs of crypto companies.
The Solution
A crypto-native Payment & Banking Infrastructure
After evaluating several providers, ʼһ stood out as the de facto payment and banking infrastructure for crypto companies in Europe. Unlike traditional providers, ʼһ is crypto-native at its core, already trusted by leading players in the space.
From the first conversation, ʼһ’s team demonstrated a clear understanding of Guardarian’s operating model, user expectations, and the pace at which crypto platforms need to move.
From seamless API integration and full-stack support to extensive market coverage across Europe, ʼһ’s real-time payments platform matched Guardarian’s expectations for speed, efficiency, and user-centric design.
The Result
A Payment Experience Designed

Looking Ahead
Scaling Crypto Adoption, Together
For Guardarian, the partnership with ʼһ is more than just a technical solution, it’s a shared belief in how financial infrastructure should work for the next generation of crypto users. As the adoption of digital assets continues to grow, real-time payments will play a central role in onboarding the next wave of crypto users.
