Movantis Partners with Stellar Network to Enhance Global Payments Infrastructure

At the Meridian 2026 conference held in Lisbon, Movantis, a leading unified financial infrastructure platform, unveiled its latest integration with the Stellar network. This partnership is crucial as it adds another layer to Movantis’s multi-rail infrastructure aimed at streamlining cross-border payments.

The Stellar network acts as a digital settlement layer within Movantis's expansive architecture, specifically enhancing the movement of funds. Initially, the collaboration will focus on integrating USDC (a stablecoin) to facilitate easier financial transactions from the United States to El Salvador. This is particularly significant as El Salvador operates on a dollarized economy, making it a perfect starting point for USDC transactions, which can be converted to US dollars without exposing users to additional currency risks.

Movantis capitalizes on its established connections with local regulatory frameworks and partners to ensure robust liquidity, fiat conversion, and last-mile payouts. With the integration in place, businesses and end-users won’t have to deal with the complexities of the blockchain; rather, they can continue using their traditional payment methods while benefiting from a more efficient backend settlement process that operates continuously, even on weekends and holidays.

“This integration is a part of our broader multi-rail strategy. Traditional and digital payment methods complement each other effectively, enhancing flexibility and resilience in the market,” said Robert Gatto, Chief Revenue Officer of Movantis. “By incorporating Stellar, we unlock an additional efficient route for settlements.”

Moreover, the integration isn’t a one-way street. Businesses engaged on the Stellar network will also have the ability to reach recipients in Latin America through Movantis, facilitating stablecoin settlements that allow for localized payouts.

Movantis has spent over twenty years establishing partnerships and creating a payout network tailored for the unique landscape of cross-border payments within the Americas. In fact, their existing infrastructure processes an impressive $60 billion in transactions annually across 200 million payment movements and supports over 90,000 payout locations. This established network gives the Stellar blockchain an immediate pathway to enhance efficiency in financial flows.

The collaboration marks a pivotal moment not only for Movantis but also for the financial ecosystem that relies on cross-border payments. By introducing yet another option for settlement, Movantis aims to simplify transactions and make them more manageable for businesses and families who depend on these services.

The implications extend beyond the US-El Salvador corridor. Movantis is eyeing the potential for the integrated architecture to facilitate further business-to-business (B2B) and consumer transactions across various global markets, including Europe and Asia. The intention is not to replace existing financial infrastructures but to supplement them with an additional route through Institutional Stablecoin Settlement. This gives firms a streamlined integration point that can handle everything from collecting and converting funds to settling payments in both fiat and stablecoin.

In summary, this integration not only hints at a transformative shift in cross-border payment processes but also builds on the foundational work done by Movantis over the years. By leveraging Stellar's capabilities, Movantis is set to continue enhancing the way businesses operate across complex financial landscapes, ensuring a smoother, faster, and more efficient experience for all users involved.
