The selection of Currencycloud for the expansion is said to have been triggered by the firm’s expertise on international payments and access to the US.

The APIs of Currencycloud will support its integration into the business app of WireBarley.

This will facilitate trading in USD along with more than 35 other currencies.

Referring to WireBarley, Currencycloud co-founder and general manager for US Richard Arundel said: “Their choice to work with Currencycloud is further ratification for us as a trusted partner within the P2P landscape, and reflects our own ambition to power businesses globally, large or small, and to grow and expand into new locations and markets.”
