LiquidTrust™, a B2B payments solutions provider that partners with financial institutions, platforms, and marketplaces to protect business transactions, has been named a finalist in the 2025 PayTech Awards USA in the Best Cross-Border Payments Solution category. The honor follows the company’s recent Silver win in the 2025 Datos Impact Awards for Commercial Banking & Payments Innovation, marking another milestone in LiquidTrust’s rapid rise as a leader in secure, modern B2B payments.
The recognition comes as small and midsize businesses (SMBs) face growing pressure in global commerce — from tariff volatility to supplier diversification and rising fraud risk. Nearly half of U.S. SMBs report that fear of payment loss has discouraged them from expanding globally — an issue LiquidTrust is helping solve by embedding trust directly into every transaction.
The LiquidTrust platform, featuring Protected Pay powered by patent-pending Micro Escrow™ technology and Simple Pay, gives banks and platforms a modern way to offer secure cross-border payments to their business customers. It enables two seamless payment modes through one interface:
- Simple Pay: fast, verified payments to over 200 countries with built-in counterparty verification.
- Protected Pay: milestone-based, condition-verified payments that hold funds securely until all agreed terms are met.
Both modes are configurable, embeddable, and fully compliant, enabling banks and fintech platforms to deliver trusted, risk-managed cross-border payments without additional infrastructure or complexity.
“Being named a finalist for the PayTech Awards USA validates the impact LiquidTrust is having in modernizing commercial payments,” said Saujin Yi, Founder & CEO of LiquidTrust. “Cross-border payments have long been a source of risk and friction for small businesses. With Micro Escrow™, we’re giving banks and platforms a powerful new way to protect their clients’ capital while streamlining global trade.”

The winners of the 2025 PayTech Awards USA will be announced later this year.
