About us
AraxaTech builds technologies that seamlessly connect issuers and processors. Our connector-first platform, Nautilus, lets issuers, fintechs and payment providers integrate quickly and test integration using realistic transaction scenarios. By combining migration services with connector-based integrations, Nautilus accelerates legacy modernizations and removes the need for invasive database migrations — integrations happen with minimal ledger rework.
Our Story
We built Nautilus after repeatedly seeing projects stalled by messy processor integrations, inadequate test environments, and unpredictable production data. Founded in 2021, our goal is simple: remove integration friction so teams can ship payment products faster and with more confidence.
We champion open architecture. Nautilus embodies this by abstracting integrations so teams can add, replace, or test partners without invasive engineering — reducing vendor lock-in and speeding product decisions.
