Inqud is a crypto payment gateway that lets businesses accept, process, exchange, and manage both cryptocurrency and fiat payments through a single platform. Founded in 2020 and based in Kraków, the company sits between merchants and the blockchain, handling the technical complexity so that taking crypto doesn't mean rebuilding a payment stack or carrying the volatility risk. Instant crypto-to-fiat conversion means a merchant can quote and settle in the currency they actually want, whatever the customer chooses to pay in.
The platform is aimed at e-commerce, fintech, SaaS, Web3, payment service providers, digital wallets, exchanges, and iGaming, and it offers three routes in: a REST API, hosted payment pages, or an embeddable widget, depending on how much control a business wants over the checkout. Alongside one-off payments, Inqud supports Web3 recurring payments, which is the harder problem — subscription billing is straightforward with cards and awkward on-chain, so it opens the door to SaaS and other subscription businesses that want a crypto-native option.
Beyond acceptance, Inqud bundles crypto acquiring, instant exchange, payouts, and multi-currency settlement into one place, with support for major networks including Bitcoin, Ethereum, Solana, Tron, Polygon, Optimism, and Arbitrum, plus stablecoins such as USDT and USDC. The company is licensed in Poland (licence RDWW-853) and operates under KYB/AML procedures — a detail that matters more than usual in crypto payments, where regulatory standing is the main thing separating credible infrastructure from the rest.
