"Visibility enables velocity. If you can always see where things are—if you know this is really your customer, or this business is selling, these are good products—you can move money faster. That trickles all the way down, ultimately to the actual storage and transfer of money into a financial ledger. Which is why we were so excited when we discovered TigerBeetle."
Co-founder & CEO at Straddle
“Payments platforms degrade when the ledger is an afterthought. TigerBeetle’s architecture treats the ledger as the CPU-hot, consensus-aware center of your system—not another table in a general database. For a digital-first fintech like ShopWallet, that means higher throughput on fewer machines, stronger guarantees under failure, and cleaner product patterns (authorise/post/void, FX, caps) that ship faster and scale cleaner. In a world chasing LLM gloss, this is the quiet infrastructure that actually moves money.”

“With the technology we used, you have these locking mechanisms that take place, particularly when it's the end of the month and people are processing salary payments or supplier payments. You're just watching the system processing, seeing it is slow, but you can't do anything because if you touch it at that point, there's a lot of backlog. The first month after we switched TigerBeetle, our operations team asked what was happening! Suddenly, they didn't need to be there on the Friday month-end past 6pm. TigerBeetle has helped so much, not just in terms of tech and speed, but also people's time.”
CEO / Co-Founder at Pesawise
"It can be easy to be overconfident and think you’ve been in the business for so long that you may as well build your own ledger. Seeing the good and bad in the space sharpened our aperture for the right solution. We went back to first principles: what was the most purpose-built tool for the job? It was a confluence of years of thinking and then months of research. We hadn't ever considered a double-entry accounting database, so discovering TigerBeetle really got the minds flowing."
Principal Engineer at Straddle
“It always blew my mind, all these startups in London, off building their own ledgers. We didn’t have in mind what we wanted for transactions per second (TPS), although that is what we ended up fixating on. Side-by-side, there was no comparison with TigerBeetle. Our financial operations team (now) has a ledger that they know how to interact with, and export to their accounting platform. And they know that it reflects what actually happened. They are very happy it’s there, instead of mucking around with spreadsheets.”
CTO at Super Payments
“We spent three months setting up our entire financial stack, TigerBeetle was one or two days of that. We got the ledger connected and had it working locally in a day, then spent two and a half months integrating with and implementing all of our other third-parties. I was able to learn the fundamentals in less than an hour of reading through the documentation. I think it's safe to say that there are some companies that are business-forward and there are some companies that are engineering and product-forward. TigerBeetle is all about creating a solid engineering culture.”
