The wedge
Annual PSP seat
The wedge is scheme sprawl: every new local rail is a new integration the PSP does not want to own.
YARZ
Heat 64. 88 asks this week. 0% of any raise comes here.
Stockholm is not a backdrop. It is the city where the customer can be called on a recorded line.
Yarrow North — 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.
Live campaign. 2,916 on the product waitlist — that is demand, not an allocation.
The named customer already picked. The waitlist is everyone who was late to that fact.
Diligence, not a prospectus. RCA Pad does not allocate, take orders, or close funding. If this company raises, it raises with its own counsel.

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 2026, headquartered in Stockholm. 3 named pilots on file (identities redacted in public). 2,916 on the waitlist, gated — product demand, not a book built. 14 nodes or connected surfaces reported. Desk diligence score 88/100. A treasurer at a bank that already settles — not a crypto-native desk. Counsel is named, even if the memo is still a draft. Unnamed counsel is how files die.
Next 12 months
Modulr and Lemonway sell the account. Yarrow North sells the router in front of accounts they already have. Seat plus event. If they ever attach a token as the unit of account, the file stops.
The brief
Before the waitlist, before the window, there was a refusal. Yarrow North would not let a public sale sit on this page. That is why a company in Payroll rails is listed here at all — and why the people who wanted a coin left, and the people who wanted the product stayed.
The bet is narrow. A named Stockholm buyer already has budget for this invoice. Yarrow North 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. Yarrow North did not argue. Adult companies do not costume a US offering.
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
US persons are outside the audience. A form that asks “are you accredited?” without verification is not an exemption.
From the screen
This communication is not an offer. Participation mechanics do not exist on this pad. If a later reader treats the public stack as the offer, the stack was already wrong.
The window
Skip it and you read the archive. Counterparties who matter will have already asked.
Counsel hours on file: enough that a later reader can tell this was not improvised.
We do not allocate. We do not take a cut. We will not hold the window open for you.

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. Yarrow North is priced as software against an invoice that already exists.
Stockholm being the city does not make local retail a default audience. Communications capable of inducing investment activity still have a promotions problem.

Next twelve months
Two paying PSPs or the file should not go to Build.
Counsel is named, even if the memo is still a draft. Unnamed counsel is how files die.
They have not asked us to run a sale. That ask would close the file.

Readiness
Six things a serious buyer asks. 100 is “ready to take to counsel and a customer.”
Risks
The one that actually kills it
Extending the record into a market that is still restricted is how a clean Stockholm story becomes a fact pattern. The restricted list exists for a reason: EU retail, United States.
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 Yarrow North. 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.

Structure
If this company raises, it raises with its own counsel and providers. The waitlist is a product list. It is not a round, a book, or an allocation on RCA Pad. We do not take a cut.
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
Nadia Mbeki (Chief executive) will take a 30-minute call and decide budget. If the only person who can accept “we are not opening a sale” is a silent co-founder in another time zone, this company would not be on the board.
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.
