Confirmo becomes one of Europe's first fully dual-licensed stablecoin payment platforms after CBI authorization

Dublin, 9 April 2026: Confirmo, a stablecoin-first payment platform serving businesses globally, today announces that its Irish entity, Confirmo Limited, has received authorisation as Payment Institution under the Payment Services Regulations 2018 (PSR) from the Central Bank of Ireland (CBI).

The licence grants Confirmo Limited regulatory permission to execute payment transactions as an authorised Payment Institution, enabling it to process regulated stablecoin payments across Europe. Combined with its MiCA authorisation as a Crypto-Asset Service Provider, granted by the CBI in December 2025, Confirmo Limited now holds a dual regulatory authorisation that solidifies it as one of the most comprehensively licensed stablecoin payment providers in Europe.

This is crucial as MiCA's transitional grandfathering period expires on 1 July. At this point, any crypto payment providers operating without full regulatory authorisation will be required to cease European operations, leaving the businesses that rely on them exposed. With its dual authorisation secured, Confirmo is positioned to lead the next chapter of European stablecoin payments as the market consolidates around compliant providers.

These authorisations establish Confirmo Limited as the fully regulated operational hub for the company's European business. Under EEA passporting rules, a single authorisation from the CBI grants Confirmo the right to offer its crypto and payment services across all 27 EU member states - giving global enterprises and financial institutions a compliant partner for cross-border stablecoin payments at scale.

Anna Štrébl, CEO of Confirmo Group, said: “Confirmo has spent more than 12 years building crypto payment infrastructure, and our dual-authorisation by the Central Bank of Ireland marks the next chapter in that journey. We are now a fully regulated European platform purpose-built for enterprise-scale stablecoin payments. This comes at a key moment, as 1 July 2026 will separate the market into two groups: providers that are fully licensed and those that aren't. The window for businesses to ensure their payment rails are fully compliant is narrowing fast, and we built Confirmo to be the partner that businesses can depend on when it matters most.”

Confirmo’s dual-licensing milestone reflects growing momentum across the stablecoin payments sector, as global businesses increasingly look for faster, lower-cost cross-border settlement and price stability. As the European regulatory deadline approaches, businesses are under pressure to audit their payment infrastructure and ensure every layer of it is built on fully authorised foundations. Confirmo's platform allows companies to compliantly and securely send, receive, and settle payments in leading stablecoins across major blockchain networks, with fiat conversion and accounting-ready reporting.

Derek Corcoran, CEO of Confirmo Limited (Ireland), said: “We welcome the Central Bank of Ireland's leadership in building a clear and robust regulatory framework for digital finance. Stablecoins combine the relative stability of traditional currencies with the speed and security of blockchain networks - and as the MiCA compliance deadline approaches, having the right regulatory foundations in place is becoming increasingly critical. With our Irish entity now authorised under both MiCA and PSR, businesses across Europe can access that infrastructure and process payments with regulatory certainty and confidence that they are building on future-proofed foundations."
