Kea Rolls Out Local Payouts in 85+ Currencies
By Lauren Towner · 25 November 2025
Kea has launched global Local Payouts in 85+ currencies for businesses that move money across borders. Companies can now pay suppliers, contractors, and remote workers in their local currency from a single Kea account. The service runs on Kea’s all-in-one platform, alongside dedicated IBAN accounts, SEPA and SWIFT transfers, and crypto on and off-ramps. It is available now in eligible jurisdictions. The goal is to improve payment quality at scale and reduce operational friction for cross-border payments.
Key highlights:
- 85+ local currencies across Europe, MENA, Africa, the Americas, and APAC.
- B2B first. Contractor and payroll payouts for freelancers and remote workers where applicable.
- Fund from EUR, USD, or supported stablecoins after a single KYB.
- All rails in one place. Local payouts, SEPA, SWIFT, crypto processing, and on & off-ramp.
Why it matters
Cross-border businesses want local settlement without extra bank accounts. Paying in a counterparty’s currency can speed reconciliation. It can also reduce failed payments and back-office friction. Kea’s model keeps banking and stablecoins under one roof, which simplifies treasury for underbanked and high-growth sectors.

Onboard once with Kea and unlock seamless global operations. Hold balances in EUR, USD, or stablecoins. Send local payouts to supported countries from a single platform — with most transfers landing within 24 hours. Empower your team with role-based access and structured approval flows. Receive clear coverage and compliance guidance right from onboarding.
