FIS has announced a partnership with Circle to integrate USDC into its Money Movement Hub.
This collaboration will enable U.S. financial institutions to provide domestic and cross-border payments in USDC, aligning traditional banking infrastructure with blockchain-based settlement in a regulated environment.
The announcement comes shortly after the passage of the GENIUS Act, new U.S. legislation designed to support the integration of payment stablecoins into the financial system. Through this partnership, USDC, which is issued by Circle’s regulated affiliates and fully backed on a one-to-one basis with U.S. dollars, will be accessible to financial institutions through FIS’s existing payment infrastructure.

The FIS Money Movement Hub will be the first platform to integrate USDC functionality. The hub connects financial institutions to a wide range of payment networks in one unified system. By incorporating Circle’s blockchain-native infrastructure, FIS will also integrate real-time payments and advanced fraud detection tools to provide a secure and scalable framework for banks seeking to adopt stablecoin-based transactions.
Jim Johnson, co-president of Banking Solutions at FIS, stated that this initiative will allow financial institutions to reduce costs and improve the speed of money movement while maintaining compliance with regulatory standards. He explained that the partnership will help clients offer more payment choices to their customers, ultimately reducing the complexity associated with traditional payment systems and increasing operational efficiency.
Kash Razzaghi, chief business officer at Circle, emphasized the importance of this development for U.S. banks. He noted that with the GENIUS Act now in effect, stablecoins are increasingly merging with traditional financial infrastructure. He added that the partnership with FIS combines the company’s extensive banking technology with Circle’s blockchain capabilities, creating the foundation for faster and more transparent payments.
This integration is expected to accelerate the adoption of stablecoin payments across the U.S. banking industry while supporting the modernization of financial services.
