Paytently Adds Stablecoins via BVNK to Accelerate Global Payments

Payment orchestrator Paytently has partnered with BVNK to enable stablecoin-based settlement and prefunding for its business customers. The partnership will give Paytently’s global merchant base access to faster, more flexible ways to move, hold and settle funds, especially in cross-border, high-volume, and time-sensitive environments. 

Working with BVNK will allow Paytently to provide stablecoin on and off-ramps to its merchants for the first time, so that they can use stablecoins to prefund fiat payouts, and be settled in stablecoins. These new capabilities will strengthen Paytently’s platform by expanding the range of financial tools available to merchants, without adding operational complexity.

Paytently processes more than €1.5bn annually, working with over 100 clients and 60 acquirers across 35 countries. The platform supports 23 currencies and more than 200 local payment methods. Many of its customers operate in fast-moving sectors like iGaming, fintech and ecommerce, where traditional payments infrastructure moves too slowly to meet their needs. In these use cases, the speed offered by stablecoin transactions is particularly compelling, especially for businesses operating across borders.

Nick Tucker, Co-Founder and COO at Paytently, said: “Stablecoins allow our merchants to move capital in minutes instead of days, which is critical in sectors where timing directly impacts revenue.

“By working with BVNK to add stablecoin functionality, our customers can manage capital more efficiently, particularly in complex and fast-moving environments. It’s all part of giving our merchants more control, more resilience and more choice.

Chris Harmse, Co-Founder and Chief Business Officer at BVNK, added: “Merchants need financial infrastructure that matches the pace of their business. By partnering with Paytently, we’re enabling their customers to access stablecoin rails in a seamless and compliant way.

“Finance is being rebuilt on stablecoins – this is another practical example of how they’re helping customers move funds faster, manage liquidity more effectively, and operate effectively across borders.”

This integration is part of Paytently’s broader strategy to combine traditional and next-generation payment rails within a compliant, enterprise-ready platform. It marks another building block in the regulated infrastructure Paytently is building, alongside projects including their Open Banking work with Mastercard Open Finance.

The rollout reflects a broader shift toward hybrid financial infrastructure, where businesses can choose between fiat and digital rails based on speed, cost and operational needs.
