Illustrative example of the flow.

Everyone sells moving money.

We sell proving who moved what, under which rule, with which receipt — without holding a single peso.

Juniper Research projects Mexico will be the #4 market in the world for B2B stablecoin payments by 2035, at $346 billion in volume — behind only the United States, Brazil, and Japan. The corridor we're building isn't a distant bet. It's where the market is already moving.

The Math

The numbers, without polite rounding.

Start with one question: how much do you lose between the moment the wire leaves your U.S. bank and the moment the SPEI lands in your supplier's CLABE?

If you can't answer to the basis point, that's the product.

Moving a B2B payment between the US and Mexico over correspondent banking costs more than what shows up on the invoice. For mid-market companies without a negotiated FX desk, the all-in corridor cost — FX markup over the interbank mid-market rate, origin wire fees, and intermediary deductions surfaced weeks later — typically lands between 1.5% and 3% of transaction value, and takes 2 to 5 business days to settle.

Don't take our benchmark. Audit your own: pull your last MT103, compare the rate you got against the interbank mid-market rate at execution time, and add the fees. That number is what this page is about.

What your bank keeps, calibrated honestly:

Even at the conservative end — 1.5% all-in — $1M/month in cross-border payments is $180,000 a year your correspondent keeps without it appearing on any invoice.

At $10M/month, that's $1.8M to $3.6M a year. At that range it's no longer operational friction — it's headcount.

Funds received

Funds arrive in the virtual USD account opened in your company's name with our licensed banking partner — via ACH, wire, or USDC sent from your own treasury wallet. A webhook fires the moment the deposit confirms. Your money sits with a regulated institution, under your name, from the first second. 8os never touches it.

Segregated by construction

Funds sit in accounts in your name at licensed custodians and banking partners — MPC/HSM-backed USDC custody and multi-sig hot operations run by regulated custodial partners. 8os holds instructions and evidence — never funds. There is nothing to commingle.

Real-time screening

Sanctions, AML, and travel-rule checks on every transaction, before execution.

Onboarding

KYB executed under U.S. BSA and Mexican Ley Fintech standards through our licensed partners.

Banking

U.S. operations in USD through partner virtual accounts. MXN settlement through a Banxico-supervised SPEI participant.

Controls your CFO already wrote down.

Funding, approvals, and integrations that match the governance you already run — without rewriting it. This is the part nobody else in the corridor sells: not moving the money, but proving who moved it, under which rule, with which receipt.

Your accounts, not ours

Virtual USD account — opened in your company's name with our licensed U.S. banking partner. Fund by ACH or wire from your operating bank. USDC treasury wallet — yours; send from your own custody, and we detect and settle. MXN settlement — a CLABE assigned to your organization at a Banxico-supervised SPEI participant. We handle the rail abstraction. The accounts — and the money in them — stay yours.

What's next

Built for treasury today. Ready for agents tomorrow.

8os was designed API-first from the first commit. The same infrastructure your treasury team uses today to authorize a payment manually can tomorrow orchestrate payments initiated by autonomous systems — with the same limits, the same approval rules, the same audit trails.

We start with treasury; agents are the next floor of the same building.

Built for the U.S.–Mexico corridor

Four buyer profiles, one set of rails. U.S.–Mexico goods trade hit $872.8 billion in 2025; these are the ones who feel the friction of moving it most:

How we work

What working with us looks like.

We're early, and we're working with a small group of design partners — companies already operating in the corridor who want to build this with us from the first real flow.

  1. 01
    Book a call and tell us your cross-border flow.
  2. 02
    We model your current cost on your real volume — against your own MT103s, not our benchmarks.
  3. 03
    We design the first flow and the controls your treasury needs, together.
  4. 04
    We run it with you, documented end to end.
Pricing

Three numbers on every settlement. Zero hidden in the spread.

01Interbank reference rate
02FX execution cost
038os fee

On every settlement you see exactly three things: the interbank reference rate, the FX execution cost, and the 8os fee. Corridor costs pass through at partner rates — we don't make money on your spread, and we never hold your float.

What you pay 8os for is the control plane: approvals, policy, CFDI, audit, reconciliation. The work a back-office does today, running as software.

Pricing is modeled on your real flow — volume, frequency, and controls. Book a call and we'll send a quote against your actual numbers.

Stop overpaying on every cross-border invoice.

Book a 20-minute call. We'll model your current cost against 8os on your real payment volume, walk you through the architecture — and when your auditor asks the first question every auditor asks, “who holds the money?”, you'll have the only answer that ends the meeting early: licensed institutions, in accounts under your name. Never us.

No commitment.
