TrustLinq is increasing access to crypto assets in Switzerland with a new crypto-to-fiat payment platform regulated by the Swiss government. The platform works for both individuals and businesses, eliminating the need for bank accounts.
The platform enables cryptocurrency holders to send fiat payments directly from crypto holdings to anyone, anywhere in the world in over 70 local currencies.
Underpinned by Swiss oversight, it also offers bank-level compliance and secure automation, enabling seamless crypto-to-fiat conversion and the execution of payments via local payment rails or TrustLinq debit cards.
Despite over 500 million crypto users globally, fewer than 0.005% of businesses accept digital assets directly, creating significant friction for crypto holders seeking to use them for everyday expenses such as rent, payroll, supplier payments, and operational costs.
 
By enabling direct crypto-to-fiat payments without requiring recipients to accept crypto, TrustLinq eliminates this friction without requiring that users open a wallet or change their banking setup.
TrustLinq stands out from the rest of the cryptocurrency payment processors by empowering crypto holders to leverage their digital assets for fiat payments to any third party globally without requiring merchants to accept digital currencies directly.
Neither TrustLinq users nor merchants need to give up their crypto or traditional banking apps when using the platform.
Individual cryptocurrency holders can use TrustLinq to pay personal expenses, such as rent, tuition, leisure, and international transfers, directly from their crypto holdings. For businesses, the platform enables crypto-to-fiat payouts for vendor payments, international payroll, and operational expenses.
Businesses best suited for the platform include trading firms, affiliate networks, SaaS companies, and e-commerce businesses that receive cryptocurrency as operational revenue.
Sharon Gal Franko, Chief Executive Officer of TrustLinq, commented:
“The future of payments requires bridging crypto and fiat seamlessly. With 580m+ crypto users globally holding substantial digital assets, the demand for practical, compliant fiat utility is immense. TrustLinq transforms how individuals and businesses deploy cryptocurrency in the real world, not through speculation, but through practical financial operations.”
TrustLinq plans to launch debit card capabilities in Q1 2026 to expand payment options and enable direct cryptocurrency-funded purchases at traditional merchants worldwide with its own card.
This is in line with the company’s commitment to bring cryptocurrencies into mainstream adoption as a means of payment for everyday, real-life expenses.
