According to a recent LinkedIn post from Thunes, the company is collaborating with Finovifi to extend its Direct Global Network to community banks and credit unions in the U.S. The post highlights that this arrangement is intended to simplify access to cross-border payments for smaller financial institutions that may struggle with managing complex correspondent banking networks.

The post suggests that, via the Finovifi Marketplace, participating institutions could connect to payment infrastructure spanning more than 140 countries and 90 currencies, covering an indicated reach of 12 billion bank accounts, mobile wallets and stablecoin wallets. It also notes that the service aims to provide speed, transparency and real-time visibility comparable to larger global banks.
For investors, this collaboration may signal that Thunes is targeting a broader segment of the U.S. financial services market by enabling community banks and credit unions to offer cross-border capabilities without building their own networks. If adoption grows, the model could support higher transaction volumes and recurring revenue, while also deepening Thunes’ position as an infrastructure provider in cross-border payments.
The focus on stablecoin wallets alongside traditional bank and mobile accounts points to ongoing alignment with digital-asset payment trends, which may enhance the platform’s relevance in future cross-border flows. However, the post does not provide financial terms, adoption metrics, or revenue projections, so the ultimate impact on Thunes’ financial performance and competitive standing will depend on actual uptake among U.S. community institutions.
