The Problem

Construction Goes Global. Banking Hasn't Kept Up.

Contractors operate across borders — US-based GCs managing Canadian subs, European suppliers shipping materials, UK joint ventures. But traditional banks charge 3-5 days for international wires, take hefty FX spreads, and can't isolate funds by project. Generic fintech doesn't understand retainage or construction compliance.

Slow Cross-Border

International wires through correspondent banks take 3-5 business days and rack up intermediary fees at every hop. Subs wait. Projects stall.

Hidden FX Costs

Banks mark up FX spreads by 2-4% on every cross-border payment. On a $500K subcontract, that's $10K-20K lost to currency conversion alone.

Multiple Bank Relationships

Operating in 4 countries means 4 banks, 4 portals, 4 sets of fees, and zero consolidated visibility. Reconciliation is a monthly nightmare.

No Construction Logic

No bank understands retainage, project-level fund isolation, conditional payment gates, or construction compliance requirements. You're shoehorning construction into generic banking.

How It Works

Global Rails. Local Speed. One Platform.

Metaprise connects directly to local clearing networks in each jurisdiction — so your payments move at local speed with local fees, not international wire pricing. All managed from a single dashboard.

Core Capabilities

Not a Bank Account. A Global Financial Infrastructure.

Metaprise Banking Infrastructure combines multi-currency accounts, local clearing networks, project-level fund isolation, and construction-specific compliance into a single regulated platform — replacing the patchwork of banks, FX brokers, and payment processors that construction companies wrestle with today.

Global Accounts

Native Accounts in Every Jurisdiction You Operate

Open USD, GBP, EUR, and CAD accounts from a single platform — each with local account numbers, local routing details, and local deposit insurance. Receive payments in local currency, hold balances, and pay out domestically — without touching a correspondent bank.

True Local Accounts

Not virtual IBANs routed through intermediaries. Real local account numbers — US routing/account, UK sort code/account, EU IBAN, CA institution/transit — so you receive funds like a local entity.

Deposit Protected

FDIC-insured in the US, FSCS-protected in the UK, deposit guarantee schemes in EU, CDIC-covered in Canada. Your funds carry the same protections as a traditional bank.

Unified Dashboard

All currencies, all balances, all transactions in one view. No more logging into four different bank portals. See your global cash position alongside your project portfolio.

Local Rails

Pay Locally. Settle Locally. No Correspondent Banks.

Every jurisdiction has faster, cheaper domestic payment rails. Metaprise connects directly to each — so your GBP payment to a UK sub goes through Faster Payments (seconds, near-zero cost), not a 3-day SWIFT wire with $40 in intermediary fees.

Same-Day or Instant Settlement

Same-Day ACH in the US, Faster Payments in seconds in the UK, SEPA Instant in the EU, Interac e-Transfer in Canada. Subs get paid when conditions are met — not days later.

Eliminate Intermediary Fees

No SWIFT correspondent chain. No lifting fees, no intermediary deductions, no "charges may apply." The amount you send is the amount that arrives.

Smart Rail Selection

Metaprise auto-selects the optimal rail based on amount, urgency, and cost. Batch of small UK payments? BACS. Urgent $1M transfer? CHAPS. You set the rules — the system picks the rail.

SmartFlow Integration

Local rails are the execution layer for SmartFlow Payments. Conditional gates, lien waiver checks, and approval workflows run first — then local rails execute at native speed.

Cross-Border

Move Money Across Borders at Interbank Rates

When a US-based GC needs to pay a Canadian sub, Metaprise converts USD → CAD at competitive interbank rates and delivers via local EFT — not an international wire. The sub receives CAD in their local account, same day, at a fraction of the cost.

Transparent FX

See the mid-market rate and the exact spread before you confirm. No hidden markups, no surprise deductions. The rate you see is the rate you get.

Rate Locking

Lock in exchange rates for upcoming payments to eliminate currency risk. Schedule a CAD payment for next month at today's rate — budget certainty for project-based payments.

Auto-Convert on Receive

Receive EUR from a European client and auto-convert to USD at your preferred rate threshold. Set rules once — the system manages currency flows automatically.

Multi-Currency Invoicing

Issue invoices in the recipient's currency. AR/AP Automation tracks both the original currency amount and the home currency equivalent for seamless accounting.

Fund Isolation

Project-Level Isolation. Multi-Currency. One Account.

Virtual ledger accounts let you isolate funds by project, entity, and purpose — without opening a separate bank account for each. Retainage funds sit in custodial sub-accounts, operating cash stays separate, and everything rolls up to a consolidated view across all currencies.

Hierarchical Ledger

Company → Entity → Project → Purpose (Operating / Retainage / Escrow). Unlimited depth, unlimited sub-accounts, all logically isolated with their own balance and transaction history.

Retainage Custody

Retainage funds held in dedicated custodial sub-accounts with deposit protection. Compliant with state trust accounting requirements where applicable.

Multi-Currency Sub-Accounts

A Canadian project holds CAD operating and CAD retainage. A UK project holds GBP. All roll up to a single consolidated view in your home currency.
