Movantis Integrates Stellar for USDC Settlement on U.S.–El Salvador Flows
The payments company says the integration pairs Stellar’s digital settlement rail with local fiat conversion and last-mile payout partnerships, beginning with U.S. to El Salvador transfers.
LISBON — Movantis integrated the Stellar network into its cross-border payment infrastructure, the companies announced at Meridian 2026 in Lisbon. The initial focus is USDC settlement for value transfers from the United States to El Salvador.
The model uses Stellar as a digital settlement rail and pairs it with Movantis’s local partnerships for fiat conversion and last-mile payout. That means the recipient experience can remain in local currency even though a dollar-linked digital asset is used between payment-system participants.
The announcement describes an initial corridor, not universal coverage for every customer or country. Live availability depends on local partners, compliance controls, liquidity, wallet operations and the specific transaction route.
Stablecoin settlement can shorten the movement of value between institutions, but it does not eliminate the operational work around identity, sanctions screening, exchange rates, refunds and customer support. The practical measure of the integration will be total cost and reliability for the people and businesses using the corridor.
