RYVYL Experiencing Growing Demand for its Bank-as-a-Service (BaaS) Solution

SAN DIEGO, CA, April 11, 2023 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- RYVYL Inc. (NASDAQ: RVYL) ("RYVYL" or the "Company"), a company that leverages the security of the blockchain and USD-pegged stablecoin technology with near-real-time attestation to conduct payment transactions, announced today the Company’s innovative Banking-as-a-Service (“BaaS”) solution is experiencing rapid growth. Six global financial institutions have already signed up as partners and are projected to process more than $100 million in monthly transactions through the BaaS infrastructure when fully ramped up.

The new partnerships includes Paydek, one of the leading corporate payment providers in the world; Xace, a banking alternative for the gaming sector; DBank, an international banking institution; JN Bank, a Foreign Exchange bank; Fundstr, a payment solution for businesses and individuals; and Commonwealth Bank & Trust. Previously, financial companies had fewer BaaS options that met their needs in a fast-paced, high-volume global economy. Payments had to be made using an intermediary that piled on additional fees, didn’t allow transactions to go through during non-business hours, and was slow and hard to trace.

These financial institutions chose to partner with RYVYL in the aftermath of major bank failures, citing RYVYL’S innovative infrastructure as a robust, compliant, and superior BaaS solution compared to what was available in the market in the past.

RYVYL’s BaaS solution offers API integrations and foreign exchange (FX) capabilities in more than forty different currencies with local settlements; authorizes transactions 24 hours per day on business days; enables payouts by way of approved methods such as real-time payment (RTP) or direct deposits; and allows the ability to readily trace transactions and reduce fraud, all while maintaining strict compliance requirements. By the end of the year, we expect to have a full global payments platform covering over one hundred local currencies and local settlements.

“RYVYL removes the middleman in many traditional banking operations and allows corporations to conduct the volume of business they need to, in a way that’s still fast, easy, and secure,” says Fredi Nisan, RYVYL Co-Founder and Chief Executive Officer. “BaaS is the future of global banking, and we’re excited to be an enabling service provider in a space that rapidly emerging and reaching new customers every day.”
