ABOUT AELTRIX
Building the future of settlement.
Aeltrix Labs is an Abu Dhabi-based fintech building parallel digital settlement infrastructure for the UAE and beyond.
OUR STORY
Why we started.
Aeltrix was founded in 2025 with a clear mission: make cross-border payments as fast, cheap, and transparent as sending a message.
Traditional payment rails — SWIFT, card networks, correspondent banking — were built for a different era. They are slow, expensive, and opaque. A $1,000 cross-border transfer can take 3-5 days and cost $25-50 in fees that are buried across intermediaries.
We are building a parallel settlement layer on our own Layer-1 blockchain, purpose-built for payment finality. AELX Pay is our first product: a settlement network that moves value between users and merchants in under 3 seconds, at a fraction of the cost of legacy systems.
