Altitude and Matera Innovate Payment Processing at Money20/20 USA

The Money20/20 USA conference in Las Vegas served as an ideal platform for Altitude and Matera to present their groundbreaking application of the ANSI X9.150 QR payment standard. This new technology, designed by the Accredited Standards Committee X9, aims to enhance the payment process from invoice generation to actual payment, showcasing the capabilities of digital financial systems.

The demonstration illustrated a direct transition from invoice to payment using Altitude Bill Pay and the ability to settle in USDC on the Solana blockchain. By leveraging proven digital platforms for secure payment processing, Altitude and Matera are paving the way for more trustworthy transactions.

Streamlining Payment Processes

In an age where financial transactions are increasingly automated, ensuring the accuracy of payment details has never been more critical. Often, businesses receive invoices in PDF format, which necessitates manual data entry into various systems. Such practices introduce many opportunities for error and manipulation, making it imperative to adopt more reliable systems like the X9.150.

This standard, launched in July 2026, is the inaugural national framework in the U.S. for secure, interoperable QR code payments. It provides a common language for applications to communicate payment requests and notifications, streamlining operations across various payment methods and platforms. Digital signatures attached to payment requests allow related applications to authenticate data origin, thus promoting security in financial transactions.

As Matera has played a vital role in developing the X9.150 standard, their collaboration with Altitude represents a significant leap towards creating a more integrated system for handling business payments. Combining their expertise positions them at the forefront of advancing payment technology.

Demonstration of Workflow

During the conference, attendees witnessed a real-time demonstration of the complete payment workflow, beginning with the upload of an invoice PDF embedded with an X9.150 QR code into Altitude Bill Pay. The system scans the code, extracts the associated digitally signed payment request, and validates its authenticity.

The payer can then review and confirm the invoice details before executing the payment in USDC, with an automatic notification sent back to update the invoice status to
