BVNK Secures Direct SEPA Access
BVNK, the leading independent provider of stablecoin infrastructure, today announced that it has secured direct access to the EU’s Single Euro Payments Area (SEPA) scheme through the Bank of Lithuania’s CENTROlink system. The integration allows BVNK to provide its customers with direct 24/7 access to instant euro payments, with transactions settling in under 10 seconds and 99% completing in less than five seconds.
This makes BVNK the only unified platform to offer direct access to instant SEPA euro payments and stablecoin settlement. Direct SEPA access removes intermediaries in the payments flow and mitigates delays caused by downtime associated with other providers. It means that BVNK has control over settlement speed, uptime, and operational standard so that its customers can seamlessly move between traditional EUR payment rails and blockchain-based settlement within a single interface.
“Payments should move at the speed of the internet, not the speed of legacy infrastructure.” said Chris Harmse, co-founder of BVNK. “We’re building a truly modern payments stack that lets businesses move seamlessly between fiat and stablecoins without friction, delays, or operational complexity. Direct access to SEPA is a major milestone in enabling that vision for our customers.”
The integration has successfully completed its pilot phase and is fully tested. By the end of 2026, BVNK expects 96% of payments to be processed fully automatically through this connection, with payout success rates exceeding 95%. The platform meets SEPA settlement requirements and is ready to scale.
The service is now rolling out to BVNK’s EU and global customer base, with UK and US availability to follow.
