Move Money Like Never Before

We believe money should move at the speed of business - fast, transparent, and borderless. Root makes this possible with modern infrastructure designed for the digital economy.

Money movement is the backbone of every business - and it shouldn't be slow, expensive, or complicated. At Root, we set out to eliminate the inefficiencies of traditional payment systems and build infrastructure that matches the speed of the digital economy.

Our journey began with a simple belief: that businesses should be able to move money instantly, transparently, and globally without relying on outdated rails or unnecessary intermediaries.

Our vision is to create a world where financial flows are as seamless as data flows - powering platforms, marketplaces, and enterprises to scale without friction. By combining deep banking integrations, compliance-first architecture, and developer-friendly APIs, we're building the future of money movement: one that's fast, reliable, and designed to unlock new possibilities for businesses everywhere.
