OpenPayd has integrated with Circle Payments Network to enable near-instant cross-border fiat payments for businesses, the financial infrastructure provider announced on August 25, 2026. The integration allows companies to leverage stablecoin settlement infrastructure while transacting in traditional fiat currencies through a single API connection, eliminating the need for businesses to build or manage blockchain infrastructure independently.
- Settlement Speed: Near-instant cross-border fiat transfers using stablecoin infrastructure
- Supported Corridors: EUR-BRL, GBP-MXN, and other global payment routes
- Stablecoins Supported: USDC and EURC through Circle Payments Network
- OpenPayd Annual Volume: Over $280 billion processed for 1,200+ businesses
Circle Payments Network, operated by Circle Technology Services, functions as a coordination layer connecting financial institutions to orchestrate cross-border payments using regulated stablecoins. The network integrates with existing banking rails and local payment systems, enabling participating institutions to settle transactions directly with one another. The platform already demonstrates capability across major currency corridors, with payments from euros to Brazilian real and pound sterling to Mexican pesos settling near-instantly through the infrastructure.
OpenPayd’s integration with Circle Payments Network extends cross-border payment capabilities to businesses through a single API connection, enabling near-instant fiat settlement across global corridors using stablecoin infrastructure behind the scenes.
The partnership consolidates OpenPayd’s infrastructure offering, which previously provided domestic payment rails, international banking networks, and embedded accounts through separate integrations. By connecting these capabilities into a unified platform, businesses can access faster global money movement without managing multiple payment technologies or providers. OpenPayd, founded in 2018, processes payments for major clients including eToro, Kraken, OKX, and B2C2, positioning itself as the infrastructure layer for next-generation financial services that blend traditional finance with digital assets.
