KEY POINTS

Due’s €6.3M raise fuels the global expansion of its stablecoin and fiat payments API.
Unified, API-driven infrastructure gives businesses real-time, low-cost multi-currency access.
Over 500 companies are already moving money worldwide with Due’s platform.
Market adoption of stablecoin payment rails is accelerating across fintech and traditional banking.

In the world of global fintech, few pain points weigh heavier than slow and costly cross-border payments. Enter London-based startup Due, founded by alumni from Revolut, which has just secured an additional €6.3 million seed extension to double down on its mission: turn the world into a seamless currency zone. With the launch of its innovative Stablecoin API platform, Due is poised to be a true game-changer for businesses handling money flows across borders.

A Frictionless Payments Platform for a Global Economy

Due’s API empowers companies to access borderless payments through a single integration—no more wrangling multiple banking partners, tangled currency accounts, or compliance headaches. The platform merges local payment rails, liquidity, and blockchain networks into a unified, embeddable solution. This offers real-time foreign exchange and settlement across more than 80 markets, whether the funds are in traditional currencies or stablecoins pegged to assets like the US Dollar or Euro.

The experience? Instantly send, receive, and settle transactions between local and foreign fiat, with savings that can reach up to 90% compared to legacy payment networks. Due brings powerful infrastructure—rather than just another app—to the table, giving fintech platforms, payroll providers, crypto wallets, and neobanks the ability to operate internationally as easily as they do locally.

Solving the Cost and Speed Barrier

As Robert Sargsian, Due’s founder and CEO, explains, “moving money internationally still feels like sending a fax in the age of streaming.” With Due’s platform, that’s changing; fair FX rates and real-time settlement—both for fiat and stablecoins—make “slow wires” a relic of the past.

Switching key routine transactions to stablecoin rails not only offers speed, but also delivers dramatic cost savings, especially for high-volume or emerging market corridors. Businesses no longer need to maintain multiple regulatory setups or juggle costly intermediaries.

Rapid Adoption Across Industries and Borders

Already, over 500 companies use Due to move money globally. Users include:

An international reforestation company funding projects in Africa with settlement in multiple local currencies.
Neobanks offering virtual EUR and USD wallets for low-cost international remittance.
Platforms like Extended and Neverless enabling compliant on/off-ramps for traders and instant crypto access in emerging markets.
Lenders leveraging Due for worldwide loan distributions.
Importers paying suppliers in different continents the same day—sidestepping expensive legacy infrastructure.

Competing in a Crowded Market

Due’s raise, led by Speedinvest plus Semantic, Fabric Ventures, and others, will support building out its stablecoin APIs further, aiming to cover 100+ countries. New product features are on the way, including invoicing, cards, and yield accounts—while investing heavily in engineering and compliance teams for rapid, yet safe, growth.

Due enters a market where cross-border payment solutions—from Stripe and Airwallex to Wise and Payoneer—are all pushing for faster, cheaper transactions. Due’s edge? Its stablecoin API is deeply embedded, bypassing slow and expensive banking layers, and giving fintechs and businesses direct, programmable access to global money movement.

The Future of Stablecoin-Powered Payments

The rise of stablecoins is already reshaping payment rails worldwide. According to industry reports, 90% of financial institutions are implementing stablecoin strategies for cross-border flows in 2025, with particular traction in emerging markets. Due’s solution is at the forefront, removing barriers for businesses of every size to participate in a truly global economy.
