Who we are

Paloma Pay is an easy-to-use crypto payments platform that allows businesses to accept cryptocurrency and deposit dollars into their account. Paloma Pay was developed by regulatory experts to make crypto safe and easy for businesses owners to accept, without requiring customers to download yet another app. Originally developed to serve merchants who lack access to traditional financial services, we are proud to bring crypto to mainstream stores and consumers as adoption of this technology becomes more prevalent.
