As adoption grows, businesses are looking for crypto payment providers that can combine licensing, compliance support, fast execution, and a service model built for real operational use. This is especially relevant in segments where transaction values are high, client expectations are demanding, and payment flows often require closer review.
Transacta is a licensed crypto provider with eight years in the market, focused on helping businesses accept and instantly convert crypto payments. Its offering includes crypto invoicing, e-commerce checkout, and card processing, with crypto POS and payouts set to follow.
The company holds regulatory coverage in Switzerland and Estonia and has applied for MiCA, while its recent collaboration with zerohash opened access to businesses across 49 US states.
Over time, Transacta has built strong expertise in large transactions and in sectors such as private aviation, yacht sales and charter, real estate, luxury travel, luxury commerce, and escrow services.
Alongside its business offering, the company is also building out products for individual users, including wallet services, a licensed exchange, cards, and futures.
In this interview, Tanya Tkachenko, Head of Marketing at Transacta, discusses the company’s strengths, its focus on partnerships, and its view on expansion, regulation, and high-value transactions.
Beincrypto: What Is Your Main Competitive Advantage in Today’s Market?
Tanya Tkachenko: Our main competitive advantage is simple: we offer a cost-effective and very fast way for businesses to start accepting crypto payments.
We do not charge setup fees. We do not charge onboarding fees. We also do not charge transaction fees to the merchant. So when a business issues an invoice to a client, they receive the exact amount with nothing deducted from it. That is one of the most important parts of our value proposition.
The second part is speed. We can usually onboard a business within one, two, or sometimes three business days, which is very fast compared with many other providers. We are able to do that because we have a full internal team of AML officers and compliance specialists who help businesses prepare documents and move through the process efficiently.
This combination of zero setup fees, zero merchant fees, and fast onboarding makes us a strong option for businesses that want to start quickly and keep costs under control.
We also see different types of businesses come to us for different reasons. Some already process crypto and need a more reliable operational solution, better dashboards, a better interface, or stronger compliance support. Others come after problems with a previous provider, often linked to regulation or compliance. And some are completely new to crypto but already have a client asking to pay in it. In many cases, the common factor is urgency. They want to start as soon as possible, and that is where we are particularly strong.
Another advantage is our expertise in high-value transactions. We work with multi-million-dollar payments, and that requires much more than a standard processing setup. We have our own liquidity pools and trusted liquidity providers, which allows us to convert and settle large transactions quickly.
At that level, compliance also becomes far more demanding. If you are moving one or two million dollars, there will always be questions about source of funds, transaction purpose, jurisdiction, and risk exposure. We have a dedicated team that helps businesses handle those requirements properly and move through them faster. Not every provider is equipped to support that kind of volume, either operationally or technically. We are.
BeInCrypto: What Role do Partnerships Play in Your Strategy?
Tanya Tkachenko: Partnerships are extremely important for us, and I would divide them into two main categories.
The first is our relationship with the businesses we serve. We see them as partners, not just customers. Many of them come to us without deep knowledge of crypto or blockchain, and they trust us with an important part of their revenue flow. We value that trust very highly.
At the same time, those relationships help us understand different industries much better. We gain insight into the problems businesses are trying to solve, how their payment flows work, and what they need from a provider. So it is not a one-sided relationship. It is something that helps both sides grow.
The second category is strategic partnerships in compliance, regulation, infrastructure, and security. As a company with a strong compliance focus, we are always looking for partners who can strengthen our operational capacity, improve our security standards, or help us enter new markets in a sustainable way. That is one reason we attend industry events. We are looking for people and companies that can help us build the right ecosystem around what we do.
A recent example is our partnership with zerohash. That has been a very important milestone for us. zerohash provides the legal and infrastructure rails that make it possible for businesses to operate in the United States, and it is a highly respected company. It has supported major launches for firms such as Morgan Stanley, Stripe, and Interactive Brokers.
For us, that partnership is important for two reasons. First, it expands what we can do in the US market. Second, it reflects the level of trust and preparation required to work with a company like that. It shows that we have invested seriously in compliance, operations, and readiness.
BeInCrypto: You Mentioned Onboarding Speed Earlier. What Does Support Actually Look Like for a Business After it Joins Transacta?
Tanya Tkachenko: Every business that opens an account with us gets a dedicated manager, but it is important to understand what that means in practice. This is not just an account manager in the traditional sense. It is a crypto and compliance specialist who supports the business throughout the relationship, not only during onboarding.
That matters because regulation is changing constantly, and businesses often need guidance on how those changes affect transaction flows, risk exposure, or even the way fees and jurisdictions are handled. Our compliance managers provide regular updates, answer questions, and help businesses navigate the market without requiring them to build deep crypto expertise internally.
This becomes especially valuable when working with luxury segments and businesses that serve high-net-worth individuals. Those clients may come with very specific requests around transaction handling, jurisdictions, or compliance requirements. Those requests need to be managed carefully, because personal relationships are very important in those industries.
We help our merchants respond to those situations with confidence. That support is part of the product for us. Businesses should be able to rely on us not only to process payments, but also to help them understand the rules around crypto payments and operate safely within them.
Beincrypto: How do You Approach Compliance and Regulation, and How Does That Affect Product Development?
Tanya Tkachenko: Transacta has been in the market for eight years, and there is a running joke inside the company that if you have not heard much about us, that is partly the point.
The reason is that we have always focused first on fundamentals: compliance, licensing, infrastructure, and operational capacity. We did not want to make bold public statements before those foundations were in place.
That same philosophy applies to product development. We involve legal and compliance teams very early in roadmap discussions. If there is a new feature or product under consideration, we first want to understand the regulatory timeline behind it. Before we are fully confident that we can support a certain country, customer type, or use case, we do not begin development.
That can make our process slower than companies that launch quickly and deal with regulatory questions later. But for us, it does not make sense to spend resources building something that we cannot support properly from a compliance standpoint.
In Europe, the framework is becoming more predictable. We hold Swiss and Estonian licenses, and we are operating with MiCA in mind as the regulatory environment develops. That gives us a clearer rule set for expansion and product planning.
The United States is much more complicated. There, you are dealing with federal requirements, state-by-state differences, FinCEN obligations, and stricter AML and KYC expectations. That complexity is one reason we took a partnership-based route into the US market. It took time to prepare for that properly, but we would not have entered that market or built around it before we were ready.
So overall, regulation does not slow us down in a negative sense. It defines how we build. We want every new market and every new product to rest on something sustainable.
Beincrypto: How do You See the Market Evolving Over the Next Two to Three Years?
Tanya Tkachenko: The biggest trend, in our view, is continued crypto adoption. More people and more businesses are starting to use crypto in practical ways, and that changes the market significantly.
One important part of that is behavioral change among end users. We are seeing more people move beyond the speculative side of crypto. They are not only buying and holding anymore. They are looking for ways to spend it more like regular money. That is one reason why products like crypto cards are gaining traction. As people become more comfortable using crypto in everyday financial activity, payment providers become more relevant.
Another important driver is improving regulatory clarity. New frameworks are making it easier for companies to build trust, expand into new markets, and explain their model to customers and partners. That also affects institutional activity. Banks, large financial firms, and other major players are looking more closely at stablecoins and blockchain-based systems, and that creates a strong trust signal for the rest of the market.
When institutions become more active, businesses and individuals tend to look at the market differently. It feels less speculative and more usable. That does not necessarily mean we will see dramatic spikes in activity. I think the market will continue to develop more gradually, but that is healthy. It is how a serious market forms.
Demographics also matter. Millennials and Gen Z are now among the most active spending groups, and they are already comfortable with digital-first forms of money. Businesses will increasingly need to serve them through the payment methods they prefer.
So overall, I think the next few years will bring more real usage, more gradual maturity, and more demand for providers that can connect crypto to everyday business operations in a reliable way.
