About Birch Hill
We built the settlement infrastructure treasury teams have been waiting for
Founded in Miami in 2024, Birch Hill started from a direct observation: corporate treasury teams spend more time chasing wire status than managing strategy. We fix that with infrastructure that settles cross-border payments and handles compliance automatically.
The founding thesis
Treasury teams deserve infrastructure built in this decade
Most corporate cross-border payments still move through correspondent banking chains that were designed for a world where settlement happened over days and audit trails were compiled by hand. The rails have not changed. The compliance requirements have grown significantly more complex.
Birch Hill was built to close that gap. We connect treasury systems to stable-rail settlement infrastructure, route payments to avoid the correspondent chain entirely, and generate complete compliance documentation at every step. Treasury teams get back the hours they were spending on manual reconciliation and wire follow-up.
The correspondent banking model was built for batch processing. It was never updated for a world where compliance teams need instant answers and treasury closes in real time.
The team
Built by people who have worked the problem from both sides
Previously VP Treasury Operations at a multinational industrial company, where he managed cross-border payment programs spanning 22 currencies. Experienced the correspondent chain problem from the treasury side for a decade before building the alternative.
Infrastructure engineer with ten years building payment rail integrations at a tier-one financial technology provider. Designed the stable-rail routing layer and the real-time compliance trail generation system that powers Birch Hill.
Former senior compliance examiner with experience in cross-border payment regulation across US and EU jurisdictions. Designed Birch Hill's sanction screening pipeline and the structured compliance record format used across all corridors.
Angel-backed. Focused on the problem.
Birch Hill is angel-backed by a small group of investors with direct experience in institutional treasury and payment infrastructure. We are not optimizing for growth-at-all-costs metrics. We are building settlement infrastructure that treasury teams can actually rely on, and we answer to customers before we answer to a cap table.
Work with us or join us
We are always interested in hearing from treasury teams who have the same frustrations we set out to solve, and from engineers who want to work on payment infrastructure.
