Flexa Brings Crypto Payments to 37 European Markets via SEPA

Flexa has expanded its regulated payments platform across Europe, adding 37 countries and territories through the Single Euro Payments Area (SEPA). Merchants, institutions, and developers across the region can now accept digital asset payments and process payouts with euro settlement, the company said July 8.

The rollout gives businesses a way to accept crypto online, in person, and in apps without taking custody of the assets or carrying exchange-rate risk. Payments settle instantly in the merchant's preferred currency. Flexa said businesses can connect through existing payment processing systems rather than swap out checkout hardware or rebuild back-office operations.

“As is the case everywhere Flexa operates, every transfer is fully fraud-resistant, guaranteed at the moment of authorization, and never subject to unexpected reversals,” the company said in a statement.

Flexa already operates in the United States, Canada, and El Salvador. The European expansion extends the network to cross-border transfers, remittances, and business disbursements. Organizations can move digital assets and stablecoins between the U.S. and Europe, and across European borders, with settlement in seconds through the same network behind merchant transactions, the company said.
