FintechDC Pay — our payments platform

DC Pay: a gateway-agnostic payments layer that keeps merchants out of card-data scope

DC Pay is our payments orchestration platform. It routes transactions across multiple providers, standardises checkout and reconciliation, and keeps a merchant's PCI scope to a minimum.

Multi-provider
routing with failover between gateways
Lightest
PCI scope tier — no card data handled directly
One API
for checkout, refunds, and reconciliation

The challenge

  • A single payment provider meant outages became revenue outages, with no failover.
  • Handling card data directly would have pulled the business into the most demanding PCI scope.
  • Refunds and reconciliation were manual, error-prone, and impossible to audit cleanly.

What we did

  • Built a provider-agnostic orchestration layer so transactions route across gateways with automatic failover.
  • Kept sensitive card data with the providers, collapsing the merchant's compliance scope to the lightest tier.
  • Standardised checkout, refunds, and reconciliation behind one API, with row-level isolation per tenant.
  • Instrumented everything for audit from day one — every transaction state change is traceable.
