Bangladesh is more than a major export market. It's a growing hub for global trade and cross-border money flows.๐ง๐ฉ
The numbers show why it deserves attention.๐งต
Bangladeshโs growing trade activity is creating new opportunities for businesses across borders.
Credible is building the Open Payments Stack to connect global liquidity with local payment systems, making it easier for businesses to collect and move money across markets.
Building in Bangladesh or expanding into the market? Letโs connect.
For businesses operating across these markets, the challenge goes beyond moving money internationally.
They need reliable local collections, payouts, currency access and settlement infrastructure.
@thecableng SMEs need financial infrastructure that grows with them
Payment collection, reconciliation and settlements should not feel like separate workflows
@ayushtweetshere Most founders focus on acquiring international customers first
Setting up the right financial and payment infrastructure should be part of that plan too
Two weeks can tell you a lot about where a project is heading.
I have been following @crediblefin, and there is quite a bit happening beyond the usual announcements.
On October 28, Credible announced $1.5B in processed payments.
They had crossed $1B in August, meaning another $500M came in less than three months.
When I checked their public Dune dashboard, the figure was already around $1.60B, with approximately $1.23B settled on @solana
But the numbers are not the only thing worth watching.
Their Naira rails are already live, which makes their work particularly interesting from where I sit in Nigeria. ๐ณ๐ฌ
For businesses operating across borders, receiving money shouldnโt be another problem to solve after making a sale. Faster settlement means better cash flow and fewer delays.
There is also progress on the regulatory side, with their Canadian ๐จ๐ฆ FINTRAC MSB registration approved, alongside their recent presence at Devcon in Mumbai.
Now, they are heading to Solana Breakpoint in London, looking to connect with teams building wallets, neobanks, consumer apps and payment products.
When I put all these developments together, one thing stands out.
Credible is not just talking about making payments easier.
They are putting the volume, regulatory groundwork and ecosystem relationships behind that ambition.
And that is what Iโll be paying attention to.
Because ultimately, payment infrastructure isnโt measured by how good the announcement sounds, but by how many people and businesses can actually use it.
If you are heading to BREAKPOINT find the credible team ๐ค
I mapped the Solana payments ecosystem. Over 200 teams, from stablecoin issuers to cross-border payouts.
At @crediblefin, we help businesses collect and pay out locally across emerging markets, with same-day settlement.
Missed anyone? Drop them in the replies.
If you're in London for Breakpoint and building in fintech or stablecoins, I'd love to meet. DMs are open.
