Dublin fintech Currenxie has officially been granted Single Euro Payments Area (SEPA) participant status by the European Payments Council (EPC).

The business banking app joins a select group of financial institutions with direct access to SEPA after becoming one of the few fintech platforms to complete the EPC adherence process.

The majority of financial institutions access the European network via indirect banking arrangements through partners, which can introduce unnecessary barriers, negatively affecting payment reliability and delivery times.

The milestone integration grants Currenxie direct operational control over its euro payment corridors, demonstrating its continued rapid growth trajectory and ultimately enhancing its client offering.

Direct integration into core European payment rails ensures SEPA Instant clearing in under 10 seconds, providing clients with native euro IBANs to grant greater control over operations and enable fast and secure payments.

Businesses using Currenxie’s platform for international payments and treasury management will see three key benefits to operations as a result of the new status:

Enhanced operational control & resilience: Direct access to SEPA allows Currenxie to bypass indirect banking, boosting resilience and payment reliability while enhancing security via embedded Verification of Payee.
Uninterrupted SEPA Instant clearing: Secure transactions are settled in under 10 seconds, in strict compliance with EPC SEPA rules, to enhance cash flow oversight.
Streamlined direct account-to-account access: Offers direct access to IBANs so SMEs can enhance cross-border payment options and improve deliverability.

“Direct SEPA access enables Currenxie to offer our own native euro IBANs and enhance our end-to-end control of the payments process, upholding our exceptional service standards to our clients,” said Sam Coyne, CEO at Currenxie in Europe.

“As one of the few fintech platforms with direct access, we can remove a typical intermediary layer, which can introduce unnecessary barriers and disrupt payment flow.

“The granting of SEPA Participant status by the European Payments Council is a proud milestone that reflects Currenxie’s technical and regulatory maturity as we enter new markets and continue to develop our client offering to support SMEs operating globally to achieve their growth goals.”

Currenxie recently launched its multi-country, multi-currency business account across the EEA after its UK launch earlier in the year.

The company now serves over 15,000 clients across 100 countries and processes more than $6bn in annual payment volume following growth of 23% last year.

Since launch, Currenxie has transferred over $18bn for merchants in key markets across Europe, Asia and North America.
