Stellar network goes live on BVNK

We’ve expanded our full-stack platform with native support for the Stellar network. Available immediately across all 130+ supported markets, the integration gives our customers access to an established blockchain designed for high-volume, sub-penny digital asset transfers.

The launch represents the latest expansion of our stablecoin infrastructure, accelerating our vision to deliver one trusted network for every form of money, as we join forces with Mastercard. 

Enterprise payment flows like cross-border payouts, remittances, and treasury disbursements require fast settlement, finality and low fees. The Stellar network was built for global value movement. In 2025, it processed $55.6 billion in payment volume across 3.6 billion transactions, while maintaining 99.99% uptime, average settlement times of 5 seconds, and transaction costs are a fraction of a cent.

By bringing an established network carrying real economic activity into the BVNK platform, we give payments teams another high-efficiency settlement route through a single integration. BVNK acts as the infrastructure layer connecting the stablecoin ecosystem, abstracting underlying blockchain complexity so businesses can access new rails without the engineering burden of building separate integrations or re-platforming as they scale.

The same integration that connects BVNK customers to Stellar today is the one that extends to additional Stellar-native assets over time as BVNK adds support – without additional work needed on the customer's side.

"The future of global payments is multi-chain and multi-asset, but businesses shouldn't have to manage the underlying engineering burden of connecting to dozens of individual blockchains," said Kimberley Mescal Julien, Head of Partnerships at BVNK. "Our goal is to build one trusted network for every form of money. By integrating Stellar’s established payment network, we are giving our customers another low-cost route to move money globally through a single API, without having to re-platform as they scale."

“Businesses moving money at scale need to know it works every time, in every corridor,” added Denelle Dixon, CEO & Executive Director of the Stellar Development Foundation. “Stellar has spent a decade building a payments network that financial institutions and regulated enterprises depend on for cross-border transfers, payouts, and stablecoin settlement. Stellar is a network financial institutions trust and now BVNK's customers will have access to the Stellar network's reliable payment rails."

The Stellar integration is live today for all BVNK customers across 130+ supported countries.
