    • Shows an integration model designed for operational automation rather than manual dashboard workflows.

12) Group overview / legal structure

  • URL: https://www.openpayd.com/legal/openpayd-group-overview/
  • Key excerpt:
    • Explicitly separates fiat payment services from digital-asset services.
    • Names FCA-regulated, MFSA-regulated, and FINTRAC-registered entities across the group.
    • Makes the legal and regulatory split visible enough to recover the real operating model from first-party materials.

Working conclusion

OpenPayd is best cataloged as embedded-finance and settlement-control-plane infrastructure: one integration surface spanning accounts, virtual IBANs, multi-currency balances, payments, FX, stablecoins, linked-client hierarchies, and regulated fiat-crypto conversion. The legal/group pages are especially important because they show that the business is not simply a bank API or a crypto ramp, but a multi-entity financial infrastructure stack with explicit fiat-versus-digital-asset service boundaries.
