The wedge
Scheme-map licence
The wedge is scheme sprawl: every new local rail is a new integration the PSP does not want to own.

If this pad disappeared tomorrow, the customer could still run the job. That is why they are here.
Coil — A routing layer in front of payment firms that already hold licences. One API picks the rail (SEPA, cards, local schemes) and can present a wallet-like checkout. The wallet is the interface. It is not a coin.
Closed on this board. Any capital event was completed with the issuer’s own providers. RCA Pad took 0%.

The wedge
The wedge is scheme sprawl: every new local rail is a new integration the PSP does not want to own.
Why the desk took it
US was taken off the file in the first hour. That is adult.
Traction
Founded 2024, headquartered in Berlin. 4 named pilots on file (identities redacted in public). 3,732 on the waitlist, gated — product demand, not a book built. 16 nodes or connected surfaces reported. Desk diligence score 86/100. A coverholder or carrier running one binder on this record. Architecture says keys / title / NAV liability sit with a named licensed party — not Coil.
Next 12 months
Modulr and Lemonway sell the account. Coil sells the router in front of accounts they already have. They sell a fee the customer already pays a slower vendor for. TAM is that invoice, not a token float.
The brief
Berlin is not a backdrop. It is the jurisdiction where a named customer can be sued, called, and asked a question on a recorded line. Coil chose it for that reason. Counterparties who still think this is a ‘global’ story are already late.
The bet is narrow. A named Berlin buyer already has budget for this invoice. Coil wins if it is cheaper than the internal build and cleaner than the protocol pitch. It loses if a founder later wants a public book. The window is the time you have to decide which it is.
US traffic was taken off the public surfaces in the first working session. Coil did not argue. Adult companies do not costume a US offering.
From the pilot
US persons are outside the audience. A form that asks “are you accredited?” without verification is not an exemption.
From the founder
A dual-control drill exists on paper. Production evidence is the next artefact, not a tweet.
From ops
The legal source of truth stays with the incumbent register, admin, or custodian. Coil does not attest to its own facts.
The window
The next Payments orchestration company on this board will not have this waitlist, this HQ, or this counsel posture.
0% of proceeds. Fixed fee. The incentive is a clean campaign — not a raise.
Read it once, properly, while the number is still green. Then decide.

The bet
The wedge is scheme sprawl: every new local rail is a new integration the PSP does not want to own.
The wedge is scheme sprawl: every new local rail is a new integration the PSP does not want to own.
MiCA is forcing PSPs to choose a perimeter. Houses that will not become CASPs still need programmable checkout. The ones that pick software over a coin will buy this. The ones that want a token will be declined here.
PSP orchestration in Europe is a multi-billion software market. Buyers already pay for routing. A token would not make the invoice larger; it would make the licence harder.
Versus the field
L2 wrappers are cheaper. They are also a different perimeter — and declined here. Coil is priced as software against an invoice that already exists.
Named: Berlin. Off-limits: Mainland China retail, United States. A US person hearing an offering communication is a US problem even if the company sits in Berlin. Blocking an IP and taking a US Telegram admin is not a block.
How it works
In the same conversation as
If they raise
Not a token float. A budget against work. RCA Pad still takes 0% of proceeds.
Named operators
29%
Hiring the operator who already does this job at a licensed firm.
Control environment
28%
Keeping the public story from running ahead of the claims register.
Second market
19%
A counsel memo that can survive a later reader.
Claims & campaign ops
24%
The remaining certifications and the second named market.
Operating week

Next twelve months
Counsel memo on the AA perimeter, or the UX layer stays dark.
Architecture says keys / title / NAV liability sit with a named licensed party — not Coil.
If they raise, it is to hire the remaining certifications and the second market — not to float a coin.

Readiness
Six things a serious buyer asks. 100 is “ready to take to counsel and a customer.”
Risks
The one that actually kills it
Unnamed counsel is how companies die in diligence. Berlin · closed private round has to be a memo you can file, not a slogan on the hero.
If the wallet layer is ever described as a means of payment, the product becomes an e-money or CASP problem. This file treats that as a hard stop.
A supervisor can still read account-abstraction as issuing. Until counsel names the path, treat the AA layer as a lab.
A handful of PSP design partners can stall the company if they slip. Ask who is paying, not who is ‘interested’.
The US is out of scope on this file. That is deliberate. It also caps the TAM.
A card scheme can kill the router without talking to Coil. Concentration in one scheme is existential.
If counsel will not name a path and not-offering is not locked, heated waitlist copy is an accidental offering.

Where they can operate
Named markets are where a sentence is allowed. Restricted is where it is not. This is not a worldwide offering.

Who can decide
Priya Okoye came in named. The team is not a handle. Coil Ltd exists, founded 2024, headquartered in Berlin. Anonymity would have been an automatic decline.
A second counterparty writing into the record is the only network effect that counts. One customer is a consultancy. Two is a market.
