KUALA LUMPUR, 25 October 2025 — Standard Chartered has announced a strategic partnership with Dandelion Payments, a subsidiary of Euronet Worldwide, Inc. (NASDAQ: EEFT), to strengthen its global disbursements capabilities and enhance real-time cross-border payment solutions.
The collaboration integrates Dandelion’s extensive payment infrastructure with Standard Chartered’s PrismFX platform, enabling clients to execute foreign exchange (FX) payments across multiple markets and endpoints more efficiently. The partnership expands the Bank’s reach to a broader range of destination currencies, while offering the flexibility to send payments directly to bank accounts or digital wallets worldwide.
As global commerce increasingly shifts toward digital and instant payments, financial institutions are under growing pressure to deliver faster, lower-cost, and more transparent cross-border solutions. Dandelion’s infrastructure facilitates last-mile delivery through domestic ACH, instant payment systems, and direct wallet integration, addressing one of the key bottlenecks in global payment flows.
This integration complements Standard Chartered’s existing cross-border payment network, strengthening its ability to serve both corporate and retail clients who need reliable access to emerging markets.
By leveraging PrismFX, Standard Chartered’s proprietary solution for real-time FX execution, clients can manage multi-currency transactions with enhanced visibility and reduced operational friction.
Enhancing Efficiency and Reach
The partnership highlights Standard Chartered’s continued investment in payment innovation and financial connectivity, two areas that have become central to its regional strategy in Asia, Africa, and the Middle East.
Through Dandelion’s reach across dozens of local payment corridors, the Bank can now process low-value disbursements more efficiently, reducing dependency on traditional correspondent banking channels.
“By combining Standard Chartered’s strong international presence with Dandelion’s local payment expertise, we’re building a cross-border ecosystem that offers clients speed, transparency, and cost efficiency,” said a Standard Chartered spokesperson.
The collaboration underscores the industry’s broader shift toward interoperability and the convergence of banking and fintech ecosystems. With global trade and remittances driving demand for seamless payments, Standard Chartered’s move positions it among the leaders shaping the next generation of cross-border financial infrastructure.
