Atum
Open payments network for global money movement
Atum is building what it calls an open payments network for global money movement: a coordination layer that sits between the participants in a payment rather than becoming one of them. Any integrator, developer or application can submit a payment request to the network, and settlement providers then compete to fulfil it across any supported chain and stablecoin. The company is explicit about what it does not do — it does not issue a currency, operate a blockchain, favour a particular rail, or take custody of customer funds — which is the basis of its neutrality pitch to the businesses it targets: card issuers and acquirers, payment service providers, card networks, stablecoin orchestrators, wallets, fintechs and enterprises. Founder and CEO Pete Cooling previously led the crypto product team at Visa and has spent roughly a decade working on blockchain-based payment systems. Atum came out of stealth on 2026-09-22 with $13.5M from Variant, PayPal Ventures, Abstract Ventures, Road Capital, Mirana Ventures, First Commit and Credibly Neutral, with Charlie Songhurst as a strategic advisor.
