The Midnight Foundation has selected Bloomsbury Money as its exclusive partner for foreign exchange, cross-border payments, and employee debit cards, marking a significant collaboration between blockchain privacy technology and traditional financial infrastructure.
The partnership connects Midnight's privacy-enhanced blockchain technology with Bloomsbury's regulatory-compliant financial services. Bloomsbury Money, an Electronic Money Institution (EMI), will provide multi-currency accounts and card services to support Midnight's global workforce and vendor payments.
The arrangement emphasises what both parties term "Smart Compliance", combining rapid cross-border payment capabilities with strict regulatory standards and transaction monitoring.
Fahmi Syed, President of the Midnight Foundation, addressed the selection process:
“We have a global team building the future of real-world privacy. We need partners who understand our needs and direction, Bloomsbury Money understands our industry. They support us with the speed and reliability we need to pay our people and vendors, they also understand the power of Midnight and how our network will provide rational privacy to all stablecoin transactions as part of their Midnight integration.”
Bloomsbury Money specialises in serving international sectors with complex financial requirements. The firm positions itself to support businesses operating at the intersection of traditional finance and emerging technologies.
