As XBD continues to expand into new markets and verticals, seamless and efficient payment infrastructure is a critical enabler of growth. Through this partnership, XBD can now leverage Freemarket's local EUR SEPA and GBP FPS accounts, as well as dedicated virtual IBAN (vIBAN) facilities, to facilitate third-party payments for its corporate clients.

Their vIBAN solutions and local EUR SEPA and GBP FPS access have streamlined settlements, enhanced our offering, and supported corporate clients. Their seamless execution and reliability have been key to our market expansion, with a highly responsive team ensuring smooth onboarding and ongoing support."
