“In mobile networks, roaming transformed how people connected, it made communication borderless. With Xend, we’re bringing that same freedom to money movement,” said Ambar Sur, Founder & CEO, TerraPay. “We want every wallet to roam globally, just like mobile phones do, to pay, receive, and spend anywhere, without friction or boundaries. By partnering with Swift, we’re building a truly open and interoperable financial fabric that connects the digital economy to the formal financial system – at scale.”
“Swift has long championed interoperability as a cornerstone of global financial connectivity,” said Juan Martinez, Global Head of Payments Services, Swift. “Working with TerraPay aligns with our mission to enable instant, secure, and inclusive cross-border transactions, bringing the power of the Swift network to millions of wallet users worldwide.”
Xend unlocks global utility, enabling wallet users to receive money from any bank in the world, pay at online and retail merchants across the globe, and send money to other wallets internationally. This transforms domestic wallets and super-apps into globally connected financial instruments, without requiring new infrastructure or bilateral integrations.
Through this collaboration, wallet providers on the Xend network can offer their users instant, compliant, and interoperable payments across banks, cards, and wallets – bridging the gap between traditional finance and the digital economy.
