About Orum
Orum is the simplest API for fast, reliable payments. Our API allows businesses to launch instant payments in one sprint or less, saving money while gaining access to all major rails – RTP, FedNow, Same Day ACH, ACH, and Wires – without costly bank integrations or prolonged compliance. This in turn empowers organizations to launch new payment experiences that attract and monetize more customers.

We provide the technology and expertise required to power a better financial system where everyone has the freedom to build to their potential.
