TrustLinq allows both individuals and businesses to make payments using cryptocurrency directly, without needing a bank account.

TrustLinq, a financial service regulated in Switzerland, has introduced a revolutionary platform for crypto-to-fiat payments. This system enables users to send fiat payments straight from their cryptocurrency assets to anyone globally, supporting over 70 local currencies. With its Swiss regulatory approval and robust compliance measures, TrustLinq provides a seamless method for converting crypto assets into fiat money via local payment systems or their forthcoming debit cards expected to launch in Q1 2026.

This service addresses a significant gap in the market, as currently, only a fraction of businesses—less than 0.005%—accept cryptocurrency payments directly despite the existence of over 580 million crypto users worldwide. TrustLinq’s platform removes obstacles for crypto holders looking to utilize their digital assets for everyday expenses like rent, payroll, and supplier payments. By facilitating direct conversions without the recipient having to accept crypto or set up a wallet, TrustLinq enhances usability.

TrustLinq pioneers the field of crypto-to-fiat payment solutions, competing in an area with no direct rivals offering similar services. Unlike traditional cryptocurrency payment processors that require merchants to directly accept digital currencies, TrustLinq allows users to use their cryptocurrencies to remit payment to any party across the globe. Importantly, beneficiaries do not need to hold a bank account; they can receive fiat payments using their existing banking setup, eliminating the need for traditional currency conversion.

The platform provides tailored solutions for two primary markets. Individuals can use TrustLinq to pay personal expenses like rent and tuition directly from their crypto assets, while businesses can manage vendor payments, international payrolls, and operational expenses seamlessly. The service is particularly appealing to trading companies, affiliate networks, SaaS providers, and e-commerce businesses that operate with cryptocurrency as part of their revenue.

Sharon Gal Franko, CEO of TrustLinq, remarked: “The evolution of payments is contingent on a smooth integration of cryptocurrencies with traditional currencies. Given that there are over 580 million crypto users globally, the need for compliant and practical fiat payment options is substantial. TrustLinq revolutionizes how individuals and businesses spend cryptocurrencies in the real world, enabling practical financial activities instead of mere speculation.”

In the future, TrustLinq intends to implement debit card functionalities in early 2026, broadening payment alternatives and permitting direct purchases with crypto at conventional stores worldwide. This initiative underlines the company’s dedication to transforming cryptocurrency from a speculative asset into a viable financial tool for daily use and personal expenses.
