Circle and Volante Bring USDC Integration to Major Banking Infrastructure

Circle and Volante Technologies have partnered to bring USDC payment and settlement workflows into Volante's existing payments infrastructure. This integration will enable financial institutions to test stablecoin activity alongside traditional payment rails without building a separate digital-asset stack.

The partnership covers minting, redemption, wallet registration, funding, and wallet-to-wallet payments, as well as traditional payment rails. Volante's AI-powered Payments Platform already serves four of the top five global corporate banks and seven of the top 10 U.S. banks, according to the company.

Nikhil Chandhok, the chief product and technology officer at Circle, noted that banks need tangible ways to see how digital dollars can factor into their operations. He added that the partnership would bring USDC to the 'systems, controls, and processes' that banks already use and serve as an entry point to going from experimentation to execution.
