Czech stablecoin payments provider Confirmo has received Payment Institution authorisation from the Central Bank of Ireland under the Payment Services Regulations 2018, enabling its Irish entity to execute regulated stablecoin payments across Europe.

According to Electronic Payments International, the approval follows Confirmo's Markets in Crypto-Assets permission, awarded by the Central Bank of Ireland in December 2025, when the firm was authorised as a Crypto-Asset Service Provider. With both licences now in place, Confirmo Limited holds dual regulatory authorisation, positioning it as one of the most comprehensively licensed stablecoin payment providers on the continent.

Under EEA passporting rules, Central Bank of Ireland authorisation enables Confirmo to offer crypto and payment services across all 27 EU member states, with the Irish entity serving as the regulated operational hub for its European activities. The platform supports businesses in sending, receiving and settling stablecoin payments across multiple blockchain networks, with fiat conversion and accounting-ready reporting capabilities also available.

The authorisation arrives at a critical juncture for the European crypto payments market. MiCA's transitional grandfathering period ends on 1 July 2026, after which providers operating without full authorisation must cease European operations. Businesses relying on unlicensed providers could face significant disruption, and the window for firms to secure compliant payment infrastructure is narrowing rapidly.

Confirmo said the dual licencing reflects rising demand for cross-border stablecoin settlement, as businesses seek lower-cost alternatives to traditional payment rails alongside greater price stability and regulatory certainty.

"This comes at a key moment, as 1 July 2026 will separate the market into two groups: providers that are fully licenced and those that aren't," said Anna Štrébl, group CEO of Confirmo.
