Global Card Issuing and Payment Processing Engine

What is your company going to make? Please describe your product and what it does or will do.

We are building HUBUC P1, a card issuing and payment processing engine designed for global reach and speed. Our API allows fintechs and businesses to issue cards and process payments worldwide, handling the complex infrastructure behind card networks so our customers don't have to.

Where do you live now, and where would the company be based after YC?

We live in Barcelona, Spain and London, UK. After YC, we would keep the company based in these locations to tap into our existing teams and fintech ecosystems.

Explain your decision regarding location.

Barcelona and London are fintech hubs with strong engineering talent and financial expertise. Being distributed here lets us build a product for global payments while staying close to key markets and partners.
