# Astra

A payments API platform that lets businesses build instant payment flows across multiple rails with built-in compliance and treasury services.

**Route:** surfaced by the platform payments and embedded finance lane's de-branded queries → competitor to stripe.com.

**Why it's on the map:** Sells the same payment-infrastructure capability — instant payouts, account funding, ACH acceleration — to the same buyer (any business needing to move money) that would shortlist Stripe.

**Receipts** (verbatim from its page this run):

> The Instant Payments API Platform

> Build instant payment experiences, not infrastructure.

> One integration, every use case.
