A LinkedIn post from Thunes describes a new collaboration with DiXiO aimed at simplifying cross-border payments for financial institutions. According to the post, DiXiO’s Smart Rails will act as an orchestration layer that allows banks to connect their existing Swift infrastructure to the Thunes Direct Global Network through a single integration.

The post suggests this setup is intended to bridge traditional Swift rails with alternative, real-time payment channels, emphasizing unified access and smart routing based on cost, speed, or availability. It also highlights that the API-based connection is positioned to offer reach into more than 140 countries and multiple endpoint types, including mobile wallets, stablecoin wallets, bank accounts, and cards.
From an investor perspective, the arrangement appears to reinforce Thunes’ strategy of positioning its network as complementary to incumbent Swift infrastructure rather than a direct replacement. This may lower adoption barriers with banks and could support transaction-volume growth if institutions view the orchestration model as a cost-effective way to expand payout options without adding operational complexity.
The LinkedIn content also underscores that Thunes intends to manage treasury and local partner relationships while DiXiO focuses on optimizing back-office experience, which could make the value proposition more attractive for regulated institutions. If the collaboration gains traction, it could strengthen Thunes’ role in the evolving cross-border payments stack and potentially enhance its competitive position versus other fintech and network providers focused on real-time global payouts.
