Summary
The announcement reflects a critical inefficiency in global B2B fund movement. According to World Bank data cited by Cregis, standard cross-border transfers route through three to five correspondent banking intermediaries before settlement, taking two to five business days while incurring 3–7% in combined fees and currency conversion costs. This operational lag has created pressure on enterprises operating simultaneously across multiple jurisdictions, where traditional banking infrastructure no longer aligns with business-day transaction requirements or operational visibility needs.
Cregis addresses this infrastructure gap through an integrated platform centered on enterprise wallet technology and fund orchestration. The company's wallet-as-a-service (WaaS) offering manages over 100 million wallet addresses and processes more than $100 million in average daily transaction volume. Critically, Cregis positions itself as a B2B infrastructure provider: its clients—payment service providers, forex brokers, banks, and fintech companies—build proprietary payment, treasury, and asset workflows on the Cregis platform while retaining complete control over customer relationships and end-user operations. This model allows financial services firms to modernize their cross-border capabilities without surrendering client ownership or operational autonomy.
The volume milestone and client expansion signal growing institutional demand for faster settlement, enhanced fund visibility, and direct operational control over cross-border movements. For hedge funds, family offices, and institutional investors managing international capital flows, platforms like Cregis represent an evolving alternative to correspondent banking networks that historically prioritized intermediary margins over settlement speed and cost efficiency.
