Our infrastructure makes stablecoins usable in the real-world by powering card transactions, cross-border payments, B2B purchases, remittances, and more. We partner with fintechs, neobanks, and institutions to help them launch solutions that are global, inclusive, and efficient.

The Regulatory Compliance team is responsible for ensuring that Rain's products, operations, and customer-facing practices meet the requirements of applicable laws, regulations, and card network rules.
