Runa is pioneering a first-of-its-kind payment rail capable of sending and accepting digital value at scale.
Runa enables developers to integrate the ability to issue, send, accept, and hold digital value in their applications without building complicated infrastructure.
The digital currency and digital payment markets are expected to become a multi-trillion-dollar industry within the next decade, but they remain largely siloed and are not integrated within legacy payment systems.
Runa is driving the liquidity of digital assets so businesses can adapt to an increasingly mainstream part of the economy, such as utilizing digital value for mass payouts. Consumers can spend the value they have received just as they would like, purchasing the products they want, when they want them.

The Runa Story
Runa was founded by Aron Alexander in 2016 as WeGift - an innovative, API-driven gift card platform trusted by some of the world’s largest companies.
WeGift made it easy for businesses to instantly deliver digital gift cards to boost customer loyalty, spur employee engagement, disburse funds, and much more.
WeGift expanded quickly, developed a network of 2,000+ brand partners, and worked with some of the world’s largest and most-influential companies to enable powerful reward and incentive experiences.
In 2023, we became Runa, a digital value infrastructure that enables people to pay and get paid by anyone, anywhere instantly. With Runa, organizations can issue, send, hold, and accept digital value and enable the instant conversion & exchange of digital gift cards, shares, crypto, donations, and other digital assets.
Headquartered in London with remote employees based across Europe and North America, the Runa team has experience building innovative, sector-creating companies including Rapyd, Tango Card, Monzo, and Freetrade.
