Orbital, a digital asset and TradFi payment orchestration platform, has unveiled its plans to establish a US presence, with Miami, Florida, to serve as the firm’s base of operations.
Miami was chosen to support companies serving LatAm, cross-border payment flows, and digital asset business, with Orbital already offering international payment coverage within the city.
According to the firm, its initial payments focus in the US will be B2B, cross-border payment and remittance businesses, and payment service providers (PSPs).
It will also support digital asset and crypto firms requiring regulated multi-currency infrastructure linking the US with the UK, Europe, and emerging markets.
The expansion is intended to meet the growing demand for regulated, enterprise-grade payment infrastructure that connects the US with international markets.
Orbital says its phased entry into the US market will be subsequently accompanied by the pursuit of relevant US regulatory approvals and money transmission licences, along with the development of dedicated in-market capabilities.
The firm says its strategy is indicative of increasing international client demand for US connectivity, including access to onshore US dollar settlement infrastructure and stronger support for counterparties and payment flows linked to the region.
Commenting on the proposed plans, Chris Mason, CEO, Orbital, says that the firm has spent just shy of a decade “building an institutional-grade payment platform trusted by businesses with complex cross-border payment needs”, and that the US “is the natural next step” in its expansion.
