Thunes Receives Prestigious Award for Payment Innovation

Recently, Thunes, often dubbed the 'Smart Superhighway' for global money transfers, was honored with the title of 'Cross-Border Payment Infrastructure of the Year' at the 13th Annual Payments Awards. This accolade, organized by FStech and Retail Systems, acknowledges organizations demonstrating extraordinary innovation and excellence in the payments sector.

This recognition is a testament to Thunes' unrelenting progress in global payment innovation. The company has broadened its service offerings, enhancing connectivity with traditional banking systems through initiatives such as the Pay-to-Banks and Pay-to-Wallets solutions via Swift connectivity. Moreover, they recently launched the Pay-to-Stablecoin-Wallets solution and introduced Account Top Ups and Withdrawals tailored for digital asset companies.

Currently, the Thunes Direct Global Network spans over 130 countries, supports 80 currencies, and incorporates more than 320 payment methods. This extensive infrastructure empowers banks, mobile wallets, digital asset platforms, money transfer operators, and various financial institutions to facilitate cross-border transactions more efficiently and transparently.

One key aspect highlighted by this award is Thunes' growing influence in the industry, which is driven by its commitment to improving interoperability and expanding financial inclusion while building scalable infrastructure. In the past year, the company has made significant strides by entering crucial markets, acquiring 50 Money Transmission Licences to operate in the U.S., successfully completing its Series D fundraising, and fostering deeper strategic alliances with leading financial institutions, wallet providers, and digital asset companies. These developments further solidify Thunes' role as a global facilitator for reliable, compliant, and accessible cross-border payments.

Abigail Slater, Senior Vice President of Europe at Thunes, expressed pride in receiving this recognition, stating, "We are extremely proud to be recognized by the Payments Awards. Cross-border payments are evolving rapidly, and our focus remains on creating a network that is reliable, inclusive, and future-proofed, bringing unmatched value to our members." She noted that an increasing number of businesses, ranging from established financial institutions to emerging fintechs, are choosing Thunes to help them tap into new markets with speed, transparency, and confidence.
