Nium joins Circle Payments Network to link USDC settlements with real-time fiat payouts across 190 countries.
Cross-border payments provider Nium partnered with Circle Technology Services to connect digital stablecoin settlement directly with last-mile global fiat payouts. The collaboration integrates Nium into the Circle Payments Network as a strategic global payout partner, allowing network participants to facilitate end-to-end transactions across more than 190 countries.
This integration scales institutional utility for digital assets, transforming stablecoins from isolated settlement instruments into comprehensive payment flows for global businesses. It connects regulated blockchain foundations with real-time local currency delivery into bank accounts, digital wallets, and cards worldwide across 100 currencies.
The partnership directly addresses the fragmented nature of traditional cross-border commerce, solving the persistent industry challenge of bridging fast on-chain settlements with reliable last-mile delivery. By streamlining this process through a unified infrastructure, financial institutions no longer need to manage disparate local payout providers or prefund expensive accounts across multiple geographic corridors.
The system utilises automated foreign exchange optimisation and smart routing to achieve efficient currency conversion without requiring manual intervention from participating institutions. Transactions routed through the combined framework retain complete on-chain transparency, allowing enterprises to monitor transaction statuses and track metrics in real time.
Prajit Nanu, Founder and CEO at Nium: “By partnering with Circle and joining CPN, we are combining Circle’s regulated settlement instrument with Nium’s global payout reach to deliver a more seamless way for institutions to move money worldwide.”
Kash Razzaghi, Chief Commercial Officer at Circle: “Through our partnership with Nium and their integration into Circle Payments Network, we are extending USDC from a settlement instrument into a complete payments flow, helping institutions move money globally with greater speed, transparency, and capital efficiency.”
