With Cross River’s industry-leading infrastructure, Transak scales its fiat-to-crypto on/off ramp services
Transak, the global payments infrastructure provider for crypto and stablecoins, today announced a strategic agreement with Cross River Bank (“Cross River”), a technology infrastructure provider that offers embedded financial solutions, to leverage Cross River’s fiat payment capabilities, scaling Transak’s fiat-to-crypto and crypto-to-fiat on/off ramp services.
Through this collaboration, Cross River will facilitate fiat payment processing for Transak, including ACH, wire transfers, and instant payment rails such as RTP and FedNow. Transak also utilizes real-time transaction visibility via Cross River’s fully routable, subledgers. By integrating these services, Transak can deliver faster settlement times, greater reliability, and innovative payment experiences for millions of users worldwide.
“This is a foundational step toward making stablecoin and crypto access as intuitive and compliant as online banking,” said Sami Start, Co-founder and CEO of Transak. “Cross River’s API-first infrastructure and regulatory footprint perfectly complement Transak’s global reach and crypto-native compliance systems.”
As a leader in instant payments, Cross River is among the top processors of RTP and FedNow transactions and continues to pioneer new capabilities, including <a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" href="https://www.crossriver.com/newsroom/cross-river-launches-request-for-payment-rfp-to-power-smarter-real-time-money-movement">Request for Payment (RfP).</a> More broadly, the Bank has powered over 1 billion payment transactions across its platform since inception, underscoring its scale and reliability.
