Roxe managing director Thomas Trepanier said: “Our partnership with Nium enables us to better deliver on our promise of instant peer-to-peer payments that don’t rely on the antiquated correspondent bank model.

“We pride ourselves on removing barriers so that financial value moves at unprecedented speed at much lower costs anywhere in the world. Partnering with Nium provides us an even more seamless, reliable, and cost-efficient experience for our global customers.”

In August this year, Roxe teamed up with international foreign exchange broker Treviso to enable remittances to Brazil.

The partnership followed the firm’s entry to Brazil, in the same month, in partnership with money transfer firm Rana Express.
