Bridge to use Banking Circle’s API-led banking infrastructure to support European payment volumes, USD SWIFT connectivity and Australia expansion.
Banking Circle S.A. announced a collaboration with Bridge, a leading stablecoin infrastructure platform and a Stripe company, to support its global money movement capabilities through Banking Circle’s regulated, API-led banking infrastructure.
„Bridge is using Banking Circle’s infrastructure to enable businesses and developers to move stablecoins in and out of local currencies including EUR and GBP, with AUD support to be rolled out in Q3. Bridge will also use Banking Circle to send and receive USD globally via SWIFT. That means a business in Mexico operating on a stablecoin balance can get paid by a customer in France in euros or pay a contractor in the UK in pounds.” – according to the press release.
Banking Circle’s infrastructure is designed to help financial institutions and payments businesses access local clearing and cross-border payments through a single regulated platform. In Australia, Banking Circle’s capabilities support instant local payments through NPP, helping deliver faster fiat settlement in the market.
„The collaboration reflects growing market demand for regulated scalable infrastructure that supports fast and efficient cross-border payments. By combining Banking Circle’s multi-currency accounts, local clearing network and cross-border payment capabilities with Bridge’s global payments platform, the two companies will help businesses move funds across borders more efficiently.” – the company explained.
Kirit Bhatia, Chief Digital Assets Officer at Banking Circle, said: As payment businesses continue to expand globally, access to reliable, scalable banking infrastructure is critical. Banking Circle provides regulated banking rails, local clearing access, multi-currency accounts and cross-border payment capabilities through a single integration, helping companies simplify operations and accelerate growth in new markets. We are proud to support Bridge as it continues to expand its global payment capabilities.”
Mai Leduc Blount, Head of Product at Bridge, said: “Banking Circle’s API-led infrastructure and multi-currency capabilities support our continued global expansion. By making it seamless for businesses to convert between fiat and stablecoins, we ensure that any business can use stablecoins for everyday expenses, all around the world.”
The collaboration builds on Banking Circle’s strategy to support the next generation of financial infrastructure by enabling banks, payments companies and fintechs to access scalable, compliant and future-proof payment solutions across major currencies and markets.
