About the Company

• PSPs in markets such as Hong Kong and Singapore serving large numbers of cross-border merchants;
• Banks, PSPs, VASPs and stablecoin institutions in emerging markets providing local collection, FX and settlement capabilities.

BPN enables businesses across cross-border e-commerce, trade, logistics and digital entertainment to collect local fiat, move value globally through stablecoins, and settle into their preferred currencies.

Today, BPN connects 50+ financial institutions across 20+ markets and serves thousands of cross-border SMEs. https://www.bpn.finance/
