Payoneer Files Application for U.S. National Trust Bank Charter to Strengthen Regulated Financial Infrastructure for Global Businesses
Payoneer aims to support nearly two million customers with a federally supervised trust bank for stablecoin payments and reserves under the new GENIUS Act framework.
- Yesterday, Feb. 24, 2026, Payoneer filed an application with the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency to establish PAYO Digital Bank, N.A., supporting stablecoin infrastructure for global businesses.
- The passage of the GENIUS Act created a federal stablecoin framework that Payoneer intends to leverage amid accelerated stablecoin adoption over the past year.
- The filing says PAYO Digital Bank would let customers send and receive approved stablecoins, issue PAYO-USD, manage its reserves, enable on-ramp and off-ramp fiat conversions, and was prepared with Davis Polk & Wardwell LLP.
- Payoneer says the move would support small- and medium-sized businesses worldwide and affect nearly two million customers, potentially advancing USD use in global trade.
- Payoneer cautioned that its announcement contains forward-looking statements subject to risks from legal and regulatory changes and geopolitical events including Israel's conflicts in the Middle East.
