What DiXiO does

DiXiO is a cloud-based financial infrastructure platform founded in 2020 and headquartered in the Dubai International Financial Centre (DIFC), with additional offices in Marseille (France), Chaumont-Gistoux (Belgium), and Riyadh (Saudi Arabia). The company connects banks, asset managers, investment funds, fintechs, and large corporates to the Swift network and multiple alternative payment rails, serving more than 100 institutional clients across 70+ countries. Its core product, the Smart Messaging Platform (SMP), is a cloud-native gateway delivered on AWS infrastructure that enables Swift connectivity, ISO 20022 migration, payment pre-validation, GPI tracking, and trade finance and securities messaging without on-premise hardware. Surrounding products include Smart Rails (a multi-rail cross-border payment orchestration platform aggregating Swift, Visa Direct, TerraPay, Thunes, and stablecoin rails behind a single API), Finpulse Treasury (corporate cash reporting, reconciliation, and forecasting), Serenity (premium managed-support services with Swift-certified experts and guaranteed response SLAs), and the DiXiO Inside partner program for white-label embedding.

DiXiO generates revenue through a mix of SaaS subscriptions for SMP, recurring managed-services contracts for Serenity, usage-based transaction fees via Smart Rails, and professional services for ISO 20022 training (DiXiO Academy) and implementation consulting. Pricing is quote-based and not publicly disclosed, consistent with an enterprise sales-led motion targeting financial institutions and large corporates. The company combines a direct "Glocal" sales model — pairing global product standards with locally embedded representatives in markets such as Bahrain, KSA, and Lebanon — with a two-tier partner ecosystem (DiXiO Ambassadors for referral and DiXiO Inside for embedded distribution). The company is held primarily by its four co-founders (Leo Vincke, Thierry Miskawi, Raphaël François, and Adrien Sicoli) following a strategic investment from Middle East Venture Partners (MEVP) in October 2023, and is recognized as an official Swift Platform Partner, Service Partner, Alliance Cloud Business Connect Provider, and CSP Certified Assessor, holding ISO/IEC 27001:2022, DORA, and Swift PSCF certifications.
