Anja Novak will not run a public sale on this pad. The listing exists because of that sentence.

Juniper Room — 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

Annual PSP seat

Juniper Room is betting that Leeds PSPs will buy routing as software rather than issue a coin.

Why the desk took it

A real job, not a ticker.

US was taken off the file in the first hour. That is adult.

Traction

4 named pilots (redacted).

Founded 2023, headquartered in Leeds. 4 named pilots on file (identities redacted in public). 995 on the waitlist, gated — product demand, not a book built. 6 nodes or connected surfaces reported. Desk diligence score 79/100. A national registry counterpart, not a scrape. No public APY, no public book, no ‘how to buy’ on any surface we could find.

Next 12 months

Two paying PSPs or the file should not go to Build.

Checkout.com is a processor. This is plumbing for processors. Annual software against an ops cost the board can see. Switching cost is the record, not the brand.

The brief

How a serious reader should hold this.

Before the waitlist, before the window, there was a refusal. Juniper Room would not let a public sale sit on this page. That is why a company in Payments orchestration is listed here at all — and why the people who wanted a coin left, and the people who wanted the product stayed.

Juniper Room exists because the incumbent brand will not staff the unglamorous middle of Payments orchestration. The product is that middle. The token, if it ever exists, is not the product — and is not for sale here. The people in the queue already understood the difference.

On a Tuesday in Leeds, an exception posts back into the customer’s existing case system. Nobody opens a side spreadsheet. That is the product: the night someone in ops does not stay late.

From the pilot

Fixed fee. Deposit to start. 0% of proceeds. Token-only pay is declined. Percentage of raise is declined.

From ops

We will not describe this as Reg CA-compliant, MiCA-stickered, or FCA-authorised. Issuers retain their own counsel in every relevant jurisdiction.

From counsel

The legal source of truth stays with the incumbent register, admin, or custodian. Juniper Room does not attest to its own facts.

The window

Miss this and you read the archive.

Miss 0 days and you are explaining to your IC why you read it after it closed.

Counsel hours on file: enough that a later reader can tell this was not improvised.

Read it once, properly, while the number is still green. Then decide.

The auditor has seen the dual-record. Switching now is a new conversation. That is the lock.

This company

Juniper Room

Services firms hide in ‘platform’ language. Juniper Room sells a seat plus an event. Named.

In the same conversation

  • Lemonway
  • Checkout.com routing
  • Not a L2 payments coin

The bet

Why this company exists.

Juniper Room is betting that Leeds PSPs will buy routing as software rather than issue a coin.

Juniper Room is betting that Leeds PSPs will buy routing as software rather than issue a coin.

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

The incumbent brand sells the relationship. Juniper Room sells the job the brand will not staff. A protocol pitch is the thing this company has already refused. Open-source looks free until the auditor asks who attests.

Named: Leeds, United Kingdom. Off-limits: Public residual claims, United States. A US person hearing an offering communication is a US problem even if the company sits in Leeds. Blocking an IP and taking a US Telegram admin is not a block.

How it works

  1. 01Payer or merchant hits a single checkout API
  2. 02The router selects a licensed rail the PSP already runs
  3. 03Account-abstraction is an optional UX layer (currently testnet)
  4. 04Settlement lands in the PSP’s existing accounts — no new token
  5. 05Exceptions (chargebacks, scheme rejects) post back into the PSP’s existing case system
  6. 06Exceptions post back into the customer’s existing case system — no side spreadsheet.

If they raise

Where the money would actually go.

Not a token float. A budget against work. RCA Pad still takes 0% of proceeds.

  • Second market

    35%

    Dual-control drills, key ceremonies, and the person who owns them.

  • Certifications & adapters

    26%

    Keeping the public story from running ahead of the claims register.

  • Control environment

    14%

    Hiring the operator who already does this job at a licensed firm.

  • Named operators

    25%

    A counsel memo that can survive a later reader.

Operating week

What “in market” actually looks like.

  1. WedCounselPerimeter diffs. If the site drifted from the memo, the site moves — not the memo.
  2. TueExceptionsOvernight breaks post back into the customer’s case system. No side book.
  3. ThuCustomerNamed pilot (redacted) sees the same record the auditor saw.
  4. FriKill switchRehearse unpublish in 24 hours. If it takes a committee, it is not a switch.

The wedge

Why this one, not the other one.

They sell
Annual PSP seat
Who pays
A national registry counterpart, not a scrape.
Unit economics
Annual software against an ops cost the board can see. Switching cost is the record, not the brand.
Moat on file
Scheme certifications already in motion with two processors.
Switching cost
Once the record is the record, the incumbent copy has to migrate history. That is the year.
Vs the comps
Checkout.com is a processor. This is plumbing for processors.
Why we listed it
US was taken off the file in the first hour. That is adult.

Next twelve months

What has to be true.

Two paying PSPs or the file should not go to Build.

No public APY, no public book, no ‘how to buy’ on any surface we could find.

A round, if any, sits with their providers. This pad does not take the order.

Traction

What you can verify today.

Founded 2023, headquartered in Leeds. 4 named pilots on file (identities redacted in public). 995 on the waitlist, gated — product demand, not a book built. 6 nodes or connected surfaces reported. Desk diligence score 79/100. A national registry counterpart, not a scrape. No public APY, no public book, no ‘how to buy’ on any surface we could find.

  • Operating notes for Account abstraction · testnet
  • No token contract listed as a public sale
  • Named founder; customer still a conversation
  • Leeds is the operating centre
  • The waitlist, if any, is a product list — not a book
  • Raise, if any, closed with issuer providers

Risks

What can kill it.

The one that actually kills it

The named customer is a letter of intent

Pilots that cannot be named, even redacted, are theatre. One paying seat that an auditor has seen is worth more than a waitlist of 995.

Token temptation

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.

Perimeter

A supervisor can still read account-abstraction as issuing. Until counsel names the path, treat the AA layer as a lab.

Customer concentration

A handful of PSP design partners can stall the company if they slip. Ask who is paying, not who is ‘interested’.

United States

The US is out of scope on this file. That is deliberate. It also caps the TAM.

Scheme freeze

A card scheme can kill the router without talking to Juniper Room. Concentration in one scheme is existential.

Facts vs theatre

A proof of a fake book is still a fake book. Juniper Room has to attach to the real one, in Leeds.

Ask these next

  1. 01Who is the first named paying customer — not a letter of intent?
  2. 02Has counsel written the perimeter in a memo you can file?
  3. 03What happens if a founder later wants a public token?
  4. 04If RCA Pad disappeared tomorrow, could the customer still run the job?
  5. 05Is the waitlist demand for a product, or a queue for a coin?
  6. 06Where do keys, title, or NAV liability sit — and is that person licensed?

Who can decide

Anja Novak came in named. The team is not a handle. Juniper Room Ltd exists, founded 2023, headquartered in Leeds. Anonymity would have been an automatic decline.

Year two is a second named market and the remaining certifications — still permissioned. It is not a public book. A public book would be a different company.
