Orum vs Ankr

About

Orum is a New York-based money movement company that provides an intelligent payment routing API that automatically selects the optimal payment rail — ACH same-day, RTP real-time payments, wire, or push-to-card — for each transaction based on the recipient bank's capabilities, the required speed, and cost optimization. For fintech companies and financial institutions that need to move money reliably and quickly, Orum's routing intelligence eliminates the complexity of managing multiple payment rail integrations and failure handling. The platform also provides account verification, fund availability intelligence, and a risk scoring layer that predicts ACH return likelihood — critical for platforms extending instant pay or same-day settlement services. Orum serves payroll platforms, gig economy apps, and financial services companies that need reliable, fast money movement with minimal payment failures. Founded in 2019, Orum raised over $82M from investors including Accel, Bain Capital Ventures, and Canapi Ventures. It competes with Dwolla, Moov, and Stripe in the money movement infrastructure market.
