Altitude is now live on Tempo

Altitude is now live on Tempo. Businesses running on Altitude, the financial operating system built around stablecoins, can now send and receive stablecoin payments on Tempo alongside the rest of their accounts, cards, payments, and finance operations.

Altitude is the financial operating system for businesses running on stablecoins. The platform consolidates multi-currency accounts, business cards, payments, FX, and finance operations on a stablecoin-native architecture, available to companies across 150+ countries. Where most business accounts are software layered on top of banks, Altitude is built around programmable accounts that businesses control directly, with stablecoins at the core of the stack.

With this release, Tempo is supported directly inside Altitude as a network for sending and receiving USDC.

What's now live

Altitude customers can send and receive stablecoin payments on Tempo directly through the Altitude platform, with the approval flows, role-based controls, and reporting their finance teams already rely on. Bringing Tempo into the workflow means no separate wallet to set up, no new integration to maintain, and no extra reconciliation work for the operations team.

Why Tempo

Tempo is a blockchain built for payments, incubated by Stripe and Paradigm. Two capabilities matter most for the kinds of stablecoin flows Altitude's customers run:

• Bounded fees paid in stablecoins — T7 lets Tempo's base fee move with network usage inside a defined cap and floor. Businesses keep network costs dollar-denominated without managing a separate gas token.
• Sub-second finality — Tempo finalizes in under a second with deterministic settlement. For operations teams reconciling against existing finance systems, that matches the certainty they get from traditional rails.

What's next

We're excited for Altitude to bring stablecoin payments on Tempo to its financial operating system, with more to come in the coming months.
