Navro adds BVNK stablecoin payments for faster global payouts

By Vriti Gothi

UK-based payments FinTech Navro has enabled international stablecoin payments through a new integration with BVNK, adding a crypto-based settlement option to its global payments stack. The move reflects rising institutional adoption of stablecoins in 2025 and growing demand for alternative payout methods in emerging markets.

The capability expands Navro’s one-API platform, which already connects businesses to a wide range of local and real-time payment rails. The company said the addition of stablecoins aligns with its strategy to offer “the best payment services in every region” through a unified infrastructure.

Stablecoins are increasingly used for workforce payments in countries facing inflationary pressures or volatile local currencies. For global employers and Employer of Record platforms a core customer base for Navro, they can streamline international payroll by reducing foreign-exchange steps and offering near-instant settlement outside traditional banking hours.

“From the outset, Navro’s focus has been on developing a fresh approach to remove some of the headaches that have historically plagued international payments,” said Aran Brown, CEO and co-founder of Navro. “Introducing stablecoins as an alternative payment rail gives our customers even more choice about how they can best fulfil their specific requirements for cross-border transactions.”

The launch comes amid strengthening regulatory clarity around digital asset payments, with the US GENIUS Act, the EU’s MiCA framework, and the UK FCA’s plans for systemic stablecoins all taking effect this year. These developments have accelerated institutional uptake of stablecoins, which now support an estimated $9 trillion in annual transactions.

Navro’s rollout also follows the addition of 17 new real-time pay-to-bank corridors in October, expanding its direct instant-payment coverage to 61 countries.
