FinClusive and Velo Labs are announcing a strategic partnership to make cross-border payments faster, cheaper, and more inclusive by leveraging blockchain technology with embedded financial crimes compliance (FCC) controls.
The partnership will open up new remittance corridors in 2022 by relying on the secure, compliance-embedded on- and off- ramp capabilities of FinClusive in the US and the unique solutions developed by Velo Labs to empower new financial institutions to bridge fiat and digital assets. This will enable an efficient gateway for payments via digital and fiat-based channels to support the international remittance and value-transfer needs of individuals and entities across the globe.

Velo Labs is recognized for its expertise in helping financial institutions integrate with blockchains to improve their international payments operations. Velo Labs does this by helping these entities create custom stablecoins backed by fiat and VELO tokens, allowing seamless interoperability with many other assets issued and/or transacted on the Stellar and Binance Smart Chain blockchains.
FinClusive has developed a comprehensive full-stack solution that embeds essential global anti-money laundering (AML) controls to ensure efficient and cost-effective know-your-customer and know-your-business (KYC/KYB) operations and client and transaction monitoring tools that apply to transactions, including virtual assets–with embedded blockchain/virtual asset-related analytics tools–and their intersection with fiat-banking payments rails.
