Payrails

A Berlin payment orchestration platform with workflow-based routing, a PCI DSS Level 1 vault and 100+ integrations.

Payrails sells payment orchestration to enterprise merchants and platforms, connecting them to 100+ PSPs, acquirers, fraud tools, local payment methods and ERPs through one integration. Routing is built as workflows: conditions on card BIN, issuing country, card scheme, fraud score or metadata send each payment to a provider, and a configured cascade retries declines on the next PSP, reusing the 3-D Secure cryptogram. Its Token Vault is PCI DSS Level 1 and works standalone. Payrails does not publish pricing.

Questions

Can the Payrails vault be used without its orchestration?
Yes. Its documentation says the Token Vault works as a standalone module or inside orchestration workflows.
Does Payrails repeat 3-D Secure when it retries another PSP?
No. Its documentation says the cryptogram is passed to the next PSP in the cascade, so the shopper is challenged once.
Where does Payrails operate?
It was founded in Berlin in 2021 and names teams in Berlin, London, Paris, Dublin, Cairo and Dubai. It announced a Middle East headquarters in the Dubai International Financial Centre in February 2026.
