What Next Generation NGPES does

Next Generation NGPES (legal entity: Next Generation SAS, Paris) is a French B2B fintech founded in 2023 that operates a regulated blockchain-based payment infrastructure bridging traditional finance and digital assets. The platform enables businesses to send, receive, convert and custody funds globally across both fiat (EUR, USD via IBAN-linked SEPA rails) and digital assets (native EUROF stablecoin plus EURC, USDC) on Ethereum, Polygon and Stellar. The proprietary EUROF stablecoin is 1:1 euro-pegged and MiCA-compliant, with reserves and processes audited by Deloitte, and the company holds a French DASP registration (inherited via the 2025 acquisition of Lugh Financial Services SAS from Casino Group), with active applications for EMI and CASP licenses.

The target customer base comprises three primary segments: multinational groups managing intra-group payments and treasury rebalancing, fintechs and payment service providers (PSPs) needing flexible settlement and cross-border infrastructure, and crypto/Web3 companies requiring compliant fiat-to-crypto and crypto-to-fiat on/off-ramps. NGPES addresses pain points including multi-day correspondent banking settlement windows, an average 6.4% cost on international remittances, limited EU banking access for non-EU firms and fragmented fiat/crypto tooling. Pricing is volume-based with consolidated monthly invoices, gas fees included and 0% commission on EUR↔EUROF on/off-ramps, with distribution via direct enterprise sales ([email protected]) and account onboarding that requires incorporation documents, regulatory licenses and proof of address.

The go-to-market is enterprise field sales with a relationship-driven motion, supported by content marketing (LinkedIn, blog, X), PR coverage, industry events and memberships in La French Tech, France FinTech, IAMTN and ADAN. Recent strategic moves include a $5M seed round (April 2025), official platform launch (Q2 2025), partnerships with Fireblocks/Sumsub/Chainalysis for custody/KYC/compliance, and 2026 expansion partnerships with IAMTN (mainstream stablecoin cross-border) and Xago (20 African currencies). Geographic reach now spans 23+ countries with a footprint that includes France plus ten named African markets (South Africa, Nigeria, Kenya, Ghana and others).

Core offering

NGPES operates a B2B payment platform that bridges traditional finance (TradFi) and blockchain-based digital assets, enabling businesses to send, receive, convert, and custody both fiat and digital assets through a single regulated operational setup. The platform combines IBAN-linked custodial wallets and SEPA banking rails with multi-chain blockchain infrastructure (Ethereum, Polygon, Stellar), supported by stablecoins including EURC, USDC, and its own MiCA-compliant euro-pegged EUROF stablecoin. Services are offered to multinational groups, fintechs/PSPs, and crypto/Web3 companies for cross-border payments, intra-group treasury management, and compliant digital asset settlement.

Product overview

NGPES operates as a unified B2B payment ecosystem that merges traditional finance (TradFi) with blockchain-based digital assets. The core platform consists of four integrated modules: Send (global fiat/crypto payments), Receive (fund collection via IBAN/digital wallets), Convert (crypto-to-crypto and stablecoin conversions), and Custody (IBAN-linked wallet infrastructure for digital asset management). These are powered by the proprietary EUROF stablecoin (euro-pegged, MiCA-compliant) and underpinned by a multi-blockchain infrastructure supporting Ethereum, Polygon, and Stellar. The platform targets multinational groups, fintechs/PSPs, and crypto/Web3 companies, offering solutions for cross-border transfers, treasury management, and compliant settlement through a single regulated operational setup.

Expansion highlights6 records

Direct peers

• BVNK: BVNK provides B2B payment infrastructure that bridges fiat and stablecoins for businesses, with multi-currency accounts and on/off-ramps. Closely comparable to NGPES in target customer (PSPs, fintechs, corporates) and product wedge (stablecoin-powered cross-border B2B payments).
• Bridge (Stripe): Bridge offers stablecoin orchestration and on/off-ramp APIs for businesses, now part of Stripe. Comparable in providing programmable fiat-to-stablecoin payment rails and developer-first APIs; backed by Stripe's distribution advantage.
• BitPay: BitPay is a long-standing crypto payment processor enabling merchants to accept and settle in crypto. Comparable in offering fiat/crypto on/off-ramps for businesses, though more retail/merchant-focused and with a longer market track record than NGPES.

Broad incumbents

• Circle: Circle issues USDC and EURC — the latter a direct euro stablecoin competitor to EUROF — and operates enterprise payments APIs. Comparable as a regulated stablecoin issuer and payments infrastructure provider, though far larger and better-capitalized than NGPES.
• Ripple: Ripple operates the XRP Ledger for cross-border payments and issues the RLUSD stablecoin, serving banks and PSPs with blockchain-based settlement. Comparable in targeting cross-border B2B settlement and stablecoin issuance, with substantially greater scale.
• Wise: Wise is a leading cross-border B2B and consumer payments provider using a multi-currency account model. Comparable as a cross-border B2B payments incumbent, though it does not focus on stablecoin rails; represents the TradFi competitor NGPES aims to displace.
• Paysafe: Paysafe is a global payments platform offering merchant acquiring, digital wallets, and crypto on/off-ramp capabilities. Comparable as a regulated payments provider serving PSPs and merchants, though with a broader product portfolio than NGPES.

Emerging players

• MoonPay: MoonPay provides fiat-to-crypto on/off-ramp infrastructure and Web3 payment solutions to businesses. Comparable in fiat-crypto conversion capabilities, though primarily developer/retail-oriented rather than enterprise treasury focused.
• Stables: Stables is a stablecoin-based payment account for businesses and consumers, allowing spending and receiving in stablecoins with fiat off-ramps. Comparable in the stablecoin-wallet-for-businesses wedge, though smaller and consumer-leaning relative to NGPES.
• Transak: Transak provides fiat on/off-ramp infrastructure for crypto wallets, dApps, and Web3 companies. Comparable as a fiat-crypto conversion and KYC-integrated onboarding partner, though oriented toward Web3 developer integrations rather than enterprise treasury.
