Thunes recognised for its significant impact on global payment solutions.
LONDON – Thunes, the leading global payment infrastructure provider, has achieved a remarkable milestone by being awarded the title of 'Cross-Border Payment Infrastructure of the Year' at the 13th Annual Payments Awards. This prestigious event, organized by FStech and Retail Systems, aims to honour organizations showcasing exceptional innovation and excellence within the payments sector.
This award is a testament to Thunes' relentless commitment to revolutionizing global payments. The company has made substantial strides in enhancing connectivity with traditional banking systems through innovative solutions such as Pay-to-Banks and Pay-to-Wallets, utilizing Swift connectivity. Additionally, Thunes has rolled out its new Pay-to-Stablecoin-Wallets and Account Top Ups and Withdrawals solutions tailored for digital asset companies. Presently, the Thunes Direct Global Network connects over 130 countries, supports 80 currencies, and integrates more than 320 payment methods. This enables banks, mobile wallets, digital asset platforms, money transfer operators, and various financial institutions to conduct cross-border transactions more efficiently and transparently.
The award also underscores Thunes' expanding influence in the industry, which is largely attributed to its efforts in enhancing interoperability, promoting financial inclusion, and developing robust infrastructure at an extensive scale. Over the past year, Thunes has entered crucial markets, acquired 50 Money Transmission Licences essential for operations in the US, completed a successful Series D funding round, and strengthened its strategic partnerships with prominent financial institutions, wallet providers, and digital asset companies. This solidifies Thunes' position as a pivotal player in the realm of secure, compliant, and accessible cross-border payment solutions.
