Frequently asked questions
How can cross-border payments be faster?
Using local rails via partners, pre-funded accounts, instant schemes and, in some corridors, stablecoin settlement.
Do you support ISO 20022 for cross-border?
Yes, including rich payment data formats used across modern payment infrastructure.
Do you process payments directly?
No. Shivacha builds the software; payments are processed by licensed acquirers, PSPs and banks that you contract with. Our platforms integrate and orchestrate those providers.
Can you help reduce payment failures?
Yes, through smart routing, retries, network tokenisation, local payment methods and analytics on decline reasons — all subject to your provider agreements.
