Alacriti, a payments-focused fintech company, announced a strategic growth equity investment led by Sageview Capital, with participation from BMO Capital Partners and Curql Fund. The funding will support the company’s expansion across payments modernization, fraud prevention, AI-driven intelligence, and digital money solutions.
Alacriti provides payment infrastructure technology that enables financial institutions and businesses to move money across multiple payment rails, including ACH, Wire, the RTP network, FedNow Service, Zelle, and Visa Direct.

Alacriti’s Orbipay Platform processes over 96 million transactions annually, representing more than $233 billion in payment volume. The company also said its platform accounted for approximately 7% of all U.S. instant payments volume across the RTP network and FedNow Service as of the fourth quarter of 2025.

“Credit unions exist to help members store, borrow, and move money quickly and safely. Many credit unions have built strength in the first two; Alacriti gives the infrastructure to lead in the third. Allowing the technology to dictate the most efficient payment rail is the key to quicker, cheaper, and safer money movement, which is where credit unions will receive the most benefit from partnering with Alacriti. That’s why we invested, and why we’re excited to scale Alacriti’s platform across our collective of 160+ credit unions.”
