The post Crypto Exchange VALR Adds Multi-Currency Fiat Capabilities Through OpenPayd appeared com. London, United Kingdom, November 24th, 2025, Chainwire VALR, one of the largest global crypto exchanges, has chosen OpenPayd, a leading provider of financial infrastructure, to power its multi-currency fiat operations and global on/off-ramp capabilities. This follows the recently announced OpenPayd-Circle partnership, bringing enterprise-grade fiat-stablecoin infrastructure to VALR’s global settlement operations. This unified infrastructure allows VALR to consolidate fiat operations that would typically require multiple banking partners across jurisdictions. OpenPayd brings EUR SEPA rails, GBP Faster Payments, and USD SWIFT into a single environment, reducing operational complexity while ensuring institutional-grade reliability across all customer and treasury flows. For VALR’s operations team, dedicated virtual IBANs support streamlined reconciliation and automated processing. For its end customers, it delivers faster deposits and more reliable withdrawals. The partnership reflects the growing need among digital asset exchanges for resilient fiat connectivity, particularly as USD remains the preferred settlement currency for market makers, institutional trading firms, and major stablecoin issuers. By combining global USD settlement with local-currency rails for customer deposits, VALR can serve both sides of its international user base with greater speed, transparency and consistency. Farzam Ehsani, Co-Founder and CEO at VALR, stated, “At VALR, we believe that sending and receiving money should be as easy as it is with a text message. By integrating OpenPayd’s world-class multi-currency fiat infrastructure, we are removing yet another barrier that has historically divided people by geography, currency, or economic status. More than a technical upgrade, this is a meaningful.
