Clearing and Settlement Infrastructure for PSPs

Add US dollar clearing and high-growth-market settlement to your PSP network — without building banking licenses, correspondent relationships, and regulatory frameworks across multiple jurisdictions yourself.

The Challenge

Expanding into EM clearing is structurally hard

PSPs that want to clear USD into emerging markets face a structural problem: the infrastructure required to do it reliably doesn't exist as an off-the-shelf service. You need US banking access for dollar clearing, individual correspondent relationships in each target market, local regulatory licenses or partnerships in each jurisdiction, and FX connectivity to convert and settle in local currency.

Building this in-house takes years and tens of millions of dollars. The alternative — stitching together a network of regional banks and FX providers — creates operational complexity, inconsistent SLAs, and fragmented compliance coverage.

Meridian provides the entire stack as a single API. One integration gives your PSP USD clearing, multi-currency FX, and local settlements across high-growth markets — without building the infrastructure yourself.

Technical Advantage

One integration, four markets

A single Meridian API integration replaces multiple country-level integrations, correspondent bank relationships, and FX provider agreements. Your engineering team integrates once — and your PSP gains clearing and settlement coverage across the markets Meridian operates in.

As Meridian expands into new corridors, your PSP gets coverage without additional integration work. New markets become a configuration change, not a six-month engineering project.
