What are Cross-border Payments?
Cross-border Payments tools enable the transfer of value across different countries and currencies using blockchain technology. These tools include payment gateways, remittance platforms, stablecoin services, and settlement networks designed to facilitate fast, low-cost, and transparent international transactions. The primary users are developers building applications that require seamless global money movement, such as remittance apps, marketplaces, and financial services targeting international customers. Key characteristics of these tools include multi-currency support, compliance with regulatory requirements, integration with fiat on- and off-ramps, and the ability to handle cross-chain or multi-network settlements. Related categories include interoperability solutions, which focus on cross-chain asset transfers, and payment processing platforms that handle transaction execution. Developers should explore this category when building applications that need reliable, scalable, and compliant infrastructure for sending or receiving payments across borders.
