We built Dragon Pay because credit unions deserve better infrastructure.

The largest banks in the country built and now control the payment networks the rest of the industry depends on. Credit unions and community banks pay the toll. Their members get a worse experience. The gap keeps widening. 

Dragon Pay exists to close that gap. We’re building modern payments infrastructure that puts credit unions back in control of their costs, their data, and their member relationships. 

Backed by Black Dragon Capital and built by operators with decades of fintech experience.
