Thunes has enabled banks to send real-time payments to stablecoin wallets through their existing Swift infrastructure.

The move gives financial institutions connected to Swift access to more than 500 million stablecoin wallets worldwide with no additional integration, extending Thunes’ Direct Global Network to existing Swift users.

Thunes launched its Pay-to-Stablecoin-Wallets solution in October 2025.

The service supports USDC and USDT and allows instant, 24/7 cross-border payments to stablecoin wallets in more than 140 countries.

The offering is aimed at use cases such as salary payouts, family remittances and business transfers, allowing funds to move directly from a bank account to a stablecoin wallet while giving recipients faster access to funds.

It may also offer an alternative for users and businesses seeking more stable access to hard currencies in markets affected by currency volatility.

The latest rollout builds on Thunes’ earlier Pay-to-Bank and Pay-to-Wallet services, which also connect financial institutions to its Direct Global Network through Swift.

Chloé Mayenobe, Deputy CEO at Thunes, said,

“Banks can now move value instantly across any rail – fiat or stablecoin – within a trusted, compliant network, using their existing Swift connection.

Thunes is powering borderless, digital-first payments and advancing our vision to connect the next billion users to the global economy.”

The service is supported by Thunes’ SmartX Treasury System, which handles fiat-to-stablecoin liquidity, and its Fortress Compliance Platform, which provides security and transaction traceability.

Elie Bertha, Chief Product Officer at Thunes, said,

“Through a single Swift message, any bank can now deliver instant payouts to all key destinations including wallets, banks and stablecoin wallets around the world, without complexity or integration barriers.

It’s interoperability at its best, connecting banks, wallets, and digital currencies through one simple connection.”
