Transformative Updates That Redefined Our Platform
🌉 The Fiat Bridge: Connecting Two Worlds
Our most significant breakthrough came through bridging the crypto-fiat divide. The integration of Banxa’s fiat solutions became our signature innovation of 2025, allowing merchants to accept payments in both traditional and digital currencies through a single, seamless interface. This wasn’t just a feature, it was a conversion revolution.
Simultaneously, our enhanced fiat off-ramp through Guardarian gave merchants newfound confidence, providing a secure, straightforward path to convert crypto earnings into traditional currencies, complete with enterprise-grade security measures. 🔒
💰 Currency Expansion: Meeting Communities Where They Are
By integrating emerging coins like Sonic (S), GMX, and AWEBASE, we enabled merchants to connect with vibrant crypto communities on their own terms. This expansion meant businesses could reduce transaction costs, accelerate settlement times, and build loyalty within niche markets.
⚙️ Operational Excellence: Smarter Tools for Global Business
We reimagined what payment management could be:
- Mass Payouts evolved to allow single-transaction balance payouts, eliminating operational complexity
- Payment History transformed with UTC exports and intelligent filtering for global finance teams
- Flexible Custody options gave merchants precise control over their fund management strategy
- Security as a Foundation: Trust Built on Innovation
✨ Experience Redesigned: Accessibility as a Priority
- Added Spanish language support to serve growing markets 🌎
- Streamlined registration flows for diverse business types
- Created industry-specific landing pages for tailored solutions
⚡ Technical Backbone: Performance That Scales
Behind every seamless transaction stood significant technical advancements:
- Parallelized API requests for dramatically reduced response times 🚄
- Enhanced fiat estimation logic for accuracy in volatile markets 📈
- Infrastructure optimizations that ensured reliability at scale
New Landing Pages
To support the diverse needs of our partners, NOWPayments introduced new landing pages designed to cater to specific industries and business models. These pages provide tailored information and solutions, making it easier for businesses in different sectors to understand how our payment platform can work for them.
Feature of the Year: Banxa Fiat
This year’s highlight feature was the integration of Banxa’s fiat payment solutions, which enables seamless fiat-to-crypto payments for businesses and customers alike. By allowing merchants to accept payments in both fiat and cryptocurrency through a single platform, Banxa simplifies the payment process and expands customer reach. This integration not only enhances payment flexibility but also boosts conversion rates by catering to customers who prefer using traditional currencies while benefiting from the advantages of crypto transactions.
