Coins.ph selects Clear Junction to support European payment corridors. Coins.ph will use Clear Junction's EUR and GBP infrastructure, including named vIBANs, SEPA, SEPA Instant and Faster Payments, to support collections, disbursements and reconciliation for corporate and financial institution clients. London, June 01, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) - Clear Junction Limited, a provider of payment infrastructure for licensed financial institutions, has partnered with Coins.ph to support its European corridor growth by providing them with named virtual International Bank Account Numbers (IBANs) and access to EUR and GBP payment rails. Founded in 2014, Coins.ph is the Philippines' leading crypto-native provider of payments, remittances and digital wallet services with over 5 millions verified users. The company was built to expand financial infrastructure for underbanked communities and now serves a growing base of corporate and financial institution clients across multiple countries including Thailand, Australia, Brazil, and Mauritius. As Coins.ph expands internationally, Europe has become an important corridor for remittance collections and disbursements. To support this growth, the company needed a European infrastructure partner able to provide access to EUR and GBP payment rails, named virtual accounts for corporate clients, and the operational discipline required for cross-border financial services. Following an assessment of several EU-licensed EMIs and banking partners, Coins.ph selected Clear Junction for its rail coverage, operational maturity, technical capability and experience supporting financial services clients across high-volume corridors. Coins.ph prioritised SEPA Credit, SEPA Instant, named virtual IBAN issuance, settlement timing, operational maturity and regulatory standing during the evaluation process. Through the partnership, Coins.ph is using Clear Junction's infrastructure to support EUR and GBP collections and disbursements across the European corridor. The solution includes named virtual IBAN issuance for corporate clients, SEPA Credit and SEPA Instant payment rails for EUR flows, Faster Payments support for GBP flows, and Clear Junction's internal settlement network for transfers within its ecosystem. The arrangement gives Coins.ph a scalable infrastructure layer for European client demand. Named account structures help corporate clients receive and manage EUR payments with clearer attribution, while local rail access supports collections and disbursements across key European payment flows. Clear Junction's ability to support the Coins.ph group under a unified framework also helps simplify the operating model for European corridor activity. "Clear Junction gives us the European payment infrastructure we need as our international business continues to grow. Through the partnership, we can support named account structures, local payment rail access and a clearer operating framework for our corporate and financial institution clients," said Wei Zhou, Coins.ph Chief Executive Officer.
