[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. This integration expands TrustLinq’s ability to deliver faster, more cost-efficient local payouts across major global corridors, supporting over 80 currencies in more than 170 countries.
TrustLinq CH AG, a Swiss-regulated crypto-to-fiat settlement service, is now processing live transactions through Ripple Payments, the cross-border payments infrastructure operated by Ripple, a leading provider of blockchain-based enterprise solutions for traditional and digital finance. Adding Ripple’s network enables real-time, multi-rail settlement across fiat and digital assets and complements TrustLinq’s existing rail stack, which already includes SEPA, SWIFT, ACH, Faster Payments, and numerous local banking corridors.
TrustLinq’s service differs from typical crypto off-ramps. A sender funds a payment from their self-custodial stablecoin wallet, and TrustLinq converts and settles the payment directly as a local fiat bank transfer to the recipient’s account. Senders do not need to use an exchange or hold a bank account with TrustLinq, and recipients do not need a crypto wallet or a TrustLinq account. Payments arrive as standard local bank transfers in the recipient’s currency. Integrating Ripple Payments broadens the settlement infrastructure and increases corridor coverage where local access matters most.
With more than $100 billion in processed volume and coverage across 60+ markets, Ripple Payments offers an end-to-end solution for moving funds across borders. Its network provides financial institutions a faster, more transparent way to send, receive, and settle funds in both fiat and stablecoins. By leveraging Ripple’s infrastructure, TrustLinq reduces dependence on correspondent banking and extends direct local corridor access beyond the limits of traditional correspondent 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.
