TrustLinq enables cryptocurrency spending for individuals and businesses by facilitating direct cryptocurrency-to-fiat payments without a bank account.
TrustLinq, a Swiss-regulated cryptocurrency-to-fiat payments intermediary, announced the launch of its pioneering cryptocurrency-to-fiat payments platform that allows cryptocurrency holders to send fiat payments directly from their cryptocurrency holdings to anyone, anywhere in the world, in over 70 local currencies. The platform, backed by Swiss supervision, bank-level compliance and secure automation, enables seamless direct conversion of cryptocurrencies to fiat and executes payments via local payment gateways, or via TrustLinq debit cards (debit cards in Q1 2026).
The platform addresses a critical market inefficiency: while there are more than 580 million cryptocurrency users worldwide, less than 0.005% of companies accept digital assets directly. This creates friction for cryptocurrency holders looking to deploy digital assets for real-world expenses such as rent, payroll, supplier payments, and operating costs. TrustLinq eliminates this friction by allowing direct crypto-to-fiat payments without requiring recipients to accept cryptocurrency, open a wallet, or change their banking settings.
TrustLinq is one of the pioneers in the emerging niche of facilitating crypto-to-fiat payments, with no direct competitors offering comparable functionality. Unlike existing cryptocurrency payment processors that require merchants to accept digital currencies directly, TrustLinq allows cryptocurrency holders to leverage their digital assets for fiat payments to any third party globally. Importantly, TrustLinq customers do not need a bank account to use the platform, while recipients use their existing banking infrastructure to receive fiat, unlike the traditional method of converting cryptocurrency into fiat before depositing it into their bank accounts.
The platform serves two main market segments with customized solutions. For individuals, TrustLinq allows cryptocurrency holders to pay personal expenses such as rent, tuition, entertainment, and international transfers directly from cryptocurrency holdings. For businesses, the platform enables cryptocurrency to fiat payments for supplier payments, international payroll, and operational expenses. The solution particularly resonates with trading companies, affiliate networks, SaaS companies, and e-commerce companies that receive cryptocurrency as operating income.
Sharon Gal Franko, CEO of TrustLinq, commented: “The future of payments requires seamlessly bringing crypto and fiat together. With over 580 million cryptocurrency users around the world holding significant digital assets, the demand for a practical and compliant fiat utility is immense. TrustLinq transforms the way people and businesses implement crypto in the real world, not through speculation, but through practical financial operations.”
