The global payments system was built for banks, not for people. Sending money from New York to Manila takes days, passes through multiple intermediaries, and loses value at every stop.

This is an infrastructure problem. The rails were designed decades ago for institutions settling with each other on their own timelines. Everyone else was an afterthought. Blockchain rails are opening the doors to the next era.

The people who depend on cross-border payments the most are the ones paying the highest price for infrastructure that was never built for them.

Roughly 800 million people worldwide receive money from someone in another country. Every transfer is a small tax on being far from the people they support. The fees are accepted because the alternatives are worse.

That's not a permanent condition. The infrastructure to move money instantly, freely, and without intermediaries is here. Saga Payments aims to upend the status quo, putting power in hands of the people who need to connect with others across the world.
