The company\u2019s core infrastructure pre-funds liquidity pools in high-demand markets and aggregates FX pricing in real-time, enabling seamless transactions across a smart routing network that spans the Gulf to South Asia corridor.<\/p>\n<p>Since its operational launch, SaturnX has facilitated over $250 million in transaction volume within just five months, underscoring both the demand for and resilience of its infrastructure.<\/p>\n<p>SaturnX\u2019s platform is designed with financial institutions and enterprises in mind. Through its developer-friendly <a href=\"https:\/\/ibsintelligence.com\/ibsi-news\/ozone-api-productcloud-enable-open-banking-compliance-for-australian-firms\/\">APIs<\/a> and fully compliant architecture, the platform empowers partners to initiate, route, and settle payments with speed, transparency, and cost-efficiency all while meeting global regulatory standards.<\/p>\n<p>SaturnX\u2019s focus on underbanked and high-volume payment corridors is particularly strategic, tapping into regions with massive demand for efficient remittance flows and low-cost digital payment alternatives.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Mirnas Brescic, CEO and founder of SaturnX,<\/strong> said, \u201cDespite considerable progress, cross-border payments are still expensive and slow. By offering a faster, cheaper, and programmable alternative, we\u2019re helping financial partners unlock better ways to move money, starting with the world\u2019s largest remittance corridors.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><strong>Sep Alavi, General Partner at White Star Capital,<\/strong> said, \u201cWe\u2019re excited to back SaturnX at the forefront of a new payment infrastructure layer. They\u2019re operating in one of the most strategically important corridors globally, solving a massive pain point for cross-border remittances and B2B payments.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":35851,"featured_media":568762,"parent":0,"template":"","categories":[41779,29445,11376,42764,41795,11384],"tags":[12663,11797,11668,11438,11549,11515,28958,12428],"class_list":["post-568761","ibsi_news","type-ibsi_news","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-banktech","category-cards-management","category-digital-banking","category-digital-payments","category-mobile-banking","category-payments","tag-ai","tag-api","tag-cross-border-payments","tag-digital-payments","tag-financial-services","tag-fintech","tag-fintech-funding","tag-uae"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO Premium plugin v22.9 (Yoast SEO v24.1) - https:\/\/yoast.com\/wordpress\/plugins\/seo\/ -->\n<title>SaturnX raises $3m to scale stablecoin payments in Asia<\/title>\n<meta name=\"description\" content=\"SaturnX, a stablecoin payment infrastructure platform headquartered in Dubai, has closed a $3 million seed funding round.\" \/>\n<meta name=\"robots\" content=\"index, follow, max-snippet:-1, max-image-preview:large, max-video-preview:-1\" \/>\n<link rel=\"canonical\" href=\"https:\/\/ibsintelligence.com\/ibsi-news\/saturnx-raises-3m-to-scale-stablecoin-payments-in-asia\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:locale\" content=\"en_US\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:type\" content=\"article\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:title\" content=\"SaturnX raises $3m to scale stablecoin payments in Asia\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:description\" content=\"IBS Intelligence (IBSi) is the world\u2019s only pure-play Financial Technology focused research, advisory, and fintech news analysis firm, with a 30-year track record and clients globally.
