Circle is widening the global reach of its Circle Payments Network, adding new local currency payout corridors across Asia, the Middle East, Europe and the United States as it pushes deeper into cross-border stablecoin payments.
The expansion allows banks, payment providers and digital asset firms to move funds using stablecoins such as USD Coin while settling directly into local currencies through domestic payment rails. The company said the new corridors now live in India, Singapore, the Philippines, the United Arab Emirates, the European Union and the US.

New corridors target high-demand markets
In India, Circle has partnered with Saber to support local payouts through NEFT, IMPS and RTGS, opening access to one of the world’s fastest-growing digital economies. Singapore payouts are being enabled through Tazapay using the FAST network for near instant settlement.
The Philippines corridor is powered by Coins.ph, giving users access to domestic rails such as Pesonet and Instapay. In the UAE, Circle is working with LuLu Financial Holdings to enable dirham payouts via local payment infrastructure.
Tazapay is also supporting US dollar payouts in the United States through Fedwire, while Saber is extending coverage across the European Union using SEPA.
Building a compliance-focused global network
Circle said the expansion reflects growing demand for faster and more transparent cross-border payments built on stablecoin rails. By connecting regulated financial institutions through a single integration, the Circle Payments Network aims to reduce operational complexity and settlement times.
The company added that its model does not hold customer funds but provides the technology layer linking participating institutions. As competition intensifies in global stablecoin payments, Circle is positioning its network as a compliant bridge between digital assets and traditional banking systems.
Meanwhile, Circle Internet Group says it will prioritize building long-term, resilient infrastructure in 2026 as it looks to accelerate stablecoin adoption among companies and financial institutions.
