This investment further cements that partnership, unlocks exciting growth opportunities in three new continents and gives us the scale to serve more partners, faster.”
Currency Stream’s platform currently supports over 140 currencies and is used by acquirers, gateways, processors and payment orchestration platforms globally. The new venture will extend these services to partners across retail, travel and e-commerce markets in high-growth regions.
