[PRESS RELEASE – Steinhausen, Switzerland, May 4th, 2026]
Swiss-regulated TrustLinq, the first platform to enable direct fiat settlement from self-custodial crypto wallets to third-party bank accounts, has integrated Ripple Payments into its live payment infrastructure. The integration extends TrustLinq’s fiat settlement reach across major global corridors, enabling faster and more cost-efficient local payouts in over 80 currencies across more than 170 countries.
TrustLinq CH AG, a Swiss-regulated crypto to third-party fiat settlement service, is now processing live transactions through Ripple Payments, the cross-border payments infrastructure operated by Ripple, the leading provider of blockchain-based enterprise solutions across traditional and digital finance. The integration adds Ripple’s infrastructure and enables real-time, multi-rail settlement across fiat and digital assets for TrustLinq’s existing payment rail stack, which already includes SEPA, SWIFT, ACH, Faster Payments, and more than 170 countries, over 80 currencies, including 60 local banking corridors.
TrustLinq’s core function is distinct from standard crypto off-ramps. Users fund a payment from their own self-custodial stablecoin wallet, and TrustLinq settles it directly as a local bank transfer in fiat to the recipient’s bank account. No exchange or bank account is required by the sender. The recipient does not need a crypto wallet or a TrustLinq account. The payment arrives as a standard local bank transfer to the recipient. Ripple Payments now forms part of the infrastructure that makes that settlement possible across an expanded range of corridors.
With more than $100 billion in processed volume globally and coverage across 60+ markets, Ripple Payments is the end-to-end solution for moving money across borders, giving institutions a faster, more transparent way to send, receive, and settle funds in both fiat and stablecoins. The addition of Ripple’s network reduces TrustLinq’s reliance on correspondent banking, extending direct local corridor access beyond the reach of traditional correspondent banking and SWIFT routing.
“TrustLinq exists to make crypto function as real money for real payments. When someone sends a supplier invoice, pays rent, or disburses contractor fees across borders, the payment arrives as a standard bank transfer in the recipient’s local currency. Integrating Ripple Payments strengthens the infrastructure behind that promise and extends our reach across corridors that matter to our users.” Lili Metodieva, Co-Founder, TrustLinq.
TrustLinq supports USDT (ERC-20 and TRC-20), USDC and EURC. The service is live and available to personal and business users at trustlinq.com.
