Flexa is now live across Europe
Merchants, institutions, and developers throughout the Single Euro Payments Area can now accept instant digital asset payments and process payouts in any sales channel using simple integrations with Flexa’s compliant and fraud-resistant infrastructure.
NEW YORK, NY — Today, Flexa announced the expansion of its regulated money-movement platform across Europe, extending its infrastructure to merchants and institutions throughout the region with settlement available across the Single Euro Payments Area (SEPA). This expansion brings Flexa’s processing platform—the same infrastructure trusted by businesses in the United States, Canada, and El Salvador—to 37 additional countries and territories, and establishes the foundation for a broad range of cross-border money movement capabilities across Europe, from merchant payments and payouts to remittances and on- and off-ramps between digital assets and local currencies. As is the case everywhere Flexa operates, every transfer is fully fraud-resistant, guaranteed at the moment of authorization, and never subject to unexpected reversals.
While Flexa is best known today for enabling merchants to accept digital assets with the most user-friendly and highest converting payments experience on mobile and desktop, the same rails that enable its instant and guaranteed acceptance capabilities were built from day one to move value of any kind across borders and between digital and fiat currencies. With this expansion, Flexa is extending that infrastructure into the broader European region, giving businesses, institutions, and developers a single regulated platform for moving digital assets and stablecoins wherever they need to go.
For merchants, this means seamless acceptance of digital assets across any sales channel—online, in person, and in-app—without setting up wallets, taking custody of digital assets, or managing risk and volatility. Every payment settles instantly in their currency of choice, with complete fraud resistance and no unexpected reversals. Plus, Flexa integrates with a variety of existing payment processing solutions, so businesses can begin accepting payments over their existing hardware without rebuilding their checkout or back office.
For institutions and developers, the same platform opens up new channels for cross-border transfers, disbursements, and remittances that have historically been slow, costly, and opaque. Flexa’s crypto and stablecoin settlement capabilities give organizations a faster, lower-cost way to move value between the US and Europe and across European borders, with funds available in seconds via the same guaranteed settlement and fraud resistance that Flexa was built to provide. With this expansion, Flexa establishes a new, regulated foundation for money movement across the region—whether that money is settling a merchant sale, disbursing a payout, funding a remittance, or powering an on- or off-ramp between digital assets and local currency.
Flexa’s long-term commitment to the region is currently anchored by Flexa Polska, a new base of operations for Flexa’s European operations in Warsaw, Poland, that was formed by the company last year in anticipation of the new EU Markets in Crypto-Assets Regulation (MiCA) framework. Today, merchants and institutions across the European region can settle in euros (EUR) directly through SEPA, giving every participating country a familiar, reliable rail. By anchoring European settlement to SEPA, Flexa lets businesses move from digital assets to euro settlement without ever touching digital asset custody, exchange, or reconciliation themselves.
“Businesses across Europe have made it clear they want money movement that simply works—no custody, no volatility, no surprises,” said Trevor Filter, cofounder and CEO of Flexa. “Today we’re bringing the same platform that our North American merchants rely on to customers across 37 SEPA countries and territories, and extending our suite of offerings well beyond acceptance into the full range of cross-border payments, payouts, and transfers that the region depends on. Poland has invested heavily into tech-forward regulatory support and talent in recent years, with a special focus on startups and small businesses, all making it the obvious choice for Flexa’s European headquarters. We couldn’t be more confident and excited to continue extending our global reach from this nowy dom.”
“Europe is a natural next step in Flexa's long-term strategy to extend enterprise-grade digital asset acceptance and payouts globally,” said Upneet Teji, President and Chief Legal Officer of Flexa. “Building that infrastructure requires more than technology. It requires investing in the regulatory, compliance, and operational foundations that allow businesses to adopt it with confidence. We’re excited to bring that same discipline to our expansion into Europe. The establishment of Flexa Polska reflects our long-term commitment to this new market and the work we’re doing to support customers across the region.”
With its European expansion, Flexa extends its regulated platform to merchants and institutions across the SEPA region and lays the groundwork for a broader rollout of money movement across Europe and beyond. Businesses interested in moving money with Flexa can learn more at flexa.co.
