The AstroPay platform enables any company to integrate global financial services at scale

LONDON — July 29, 2025 — AstroPay, the financial operating system trusted by millions of users worldwide, today launched its boldest product to date: the AstroPay platform.

For the first time, any company—whether fintech or not—can build and launch its own global financial products using the same infrastructure that powers AstroPay’s consumer wallet.

The AstroPay platform gives companies instant access to a complete financial system: multi-currency wallets, local bank accounts, global and local card issuing, payments, user onboarding, fraud controls, compliance, and FX—all through a developer-first interface.

This marks AstroPay’s evolution from serving consumers directly to enabling other companies to build their own financial services on top of AstroPay’s infrastructure.

Companies can now leverage AstroPay’s established connections with multiple local and international payment schemes, along with its multi-currency wallet, card issuing capabilities, and regulatory compliance framework across multiple jurisdictions.

“We’ve built the financial infrastructure that powers our global wallet. Now we’re opening it to the world,” said Marc Sacal, CEO of AstroPay. “What used to take years of licensing, contracting, and technical effort can now be done in weeks under your own brand, with our infrastructure doing the heavy lifting.”

A new category of financial infrastructure

The AstroPay platform is not a white-label wallet. It is a turnkey financial system: licensed, compliant, and payments-connected infrastructure that has already been proven across dozens of markets and payment systems.

With a single integration, companies gain access to:

Multi-currency infrastructure: Native support for major currencies with real-time FX, enabling seamless global balance management and currency conversion.

Local accounts and payment rails: Current support includes local receiving accounts in key markets such as PIX (Brazil), CVU (Argentina), IBAN (Europe), and UK sort codes—allowing users to send and receive funds as if they were local. This is just the beginning, with many more markets and rails ahead.

Card issuing and management: Companies can issue virtual and physical cards, local or global, to end users. Cards are powered by Visa or Mastercard, and come with mobile wallet compatibility, KYC, and built-in fraud management.

Accept AstroPay: Businesses can integrate AstroPay’s proprietary payment system and accept the AstroPay wallet directly as a payment method—enabling one-click payments for millions of users and promotion within the AstroPay ecosystem.

Compliance framework: AstroPay’s infrastructure includes KYC, AML, sanctions screening, fraud detection, and multi-jurisdiction licensing—reducing the need for partners to build regulatory operations internally.

Real-time processing and APIs: A modern API architecture with real-time processing and developer tooling enables seamless implementation, scalability, and customization.

The AstroPay platform enables any company to operate like a fintech—whether launching wallets and cards, offering global payments, or embedding financial services into existing products.

From creator platforms and travel apps to payroll tools and B2B marketplaces, companies can now embed global financial services under their own brand, while AstroPay handles the underlying complexity.

From years to days: accelerating financial innovation

Traditional approaches to building cross-border financial services require companies to establish relationships with dozens of payment providers, comply with complex regulations across multiple countries, and build sophisticated FX and risk systems.

This process takes years and requires significant upfront capital before generating revenue—slowing down innovation in fintech.

The AstroPay platform reduces this timeline to weeks by offering a turnkey solution built on proven infrastructure already operating across dozens of markets and integrated with multiple local and international payment schemes.

“Companies no longer need to stitch together banking, compliance, and payments from scratch,” said Sacal. “The AstroPay platform removes friction, reduces time to market, and makes sophisticated financial infrastructure accessible to any company.”

The AstroPay platform supports a wide range of business models—from disruptive fintechs to non-financial companies embedding financial features for the first time.

By abstracting complexity into modular APIs, companies can choose only the capabilities they need and go live in record time.

The AstroPay platform is already being used by early partners across Latin America and Europe, powering production workloads for payments, cards, and local account infrastructure.

Key use cases

Retail and consumer apps:
Retailers, loyalty programs, and consumer-facing apps can embed financial tools such as digital wallets and prepaid cards to increase engagement, drive repeat purchases, and better capture customer lifecycle value—without becoming financial institutions themselves.

Fintechs and regional super apps:
Local fintechs with strong domestic traction can expand globally without building new infrastructure or acquiring additional licenses. They can offer international accounts, global cards, and cross-border payments within weeks.

E-commerce and marketplaces:
Marketplaces can enable sellers to receive funds in local currency while allowing buyers to pay using their preferred method—including AstroPay Wallet. Built-in FX infrastructure enables localized experiences without geographic or currency constraints.

Content and creator platforms:
Platforms serving creators and digital talent can provide instant access to earnings through embedded wallets, branded cards, and instant local withdrawals—improving speed, trust, and retention, especially in underbanked regions.

Payroll and workforce platforms:
Companies serving global and remote workers can integrate multi-currency wallets, assign local receiving accounts (such as PIX in Brazil or IBAN in Europe), and automate instant local payouts—enabling faster, cheaper, and more transparent salary distribution.

The AstroPay platform removes traditional barriers to financial innovation—licensing, regulation, payments, and FX—and enables sophisticated financial services to be deployed in days.

Its real, production-grade infrastructure—already powering millions of users—is now available to any company.
