 pursue excellence, that we do not tolerate mediocrity, that we reward based on merit, and that we work intensely to achieve our goals. We are a team that seeks to bring everyone along in our collective achievement. |

Our culturedifferentiates us. These values, and the competencies they embody, are pervasive in how we work, including how we assess performance and give each other feedback, how we show up to our customers and stakeholders in our industry, how we reward employees and celebrate success, and how we shape our current and future leaders. We are proud to help organizations like the United Nations modernize how aid moves—demonstrating how our values translate into meaningful, global impact. By leveraging USDC, we have enabled aid agencies to cut costs by more than 35% compared to traditional payment rails, speed up settlement processes, and alleviate last-mile problems, reaching those most in need.
