Confirmo, a stablecoin-first payment platform serving businesses globally, has announced that its Irish entity, Confirmo Limited, has received authorisation as a Payment Institution under the Payment Services Regulations 2018 from the Central Bank of Ireland.
Combined with its MiCA authorisation as a Crypto-Asset Service Provider, granted by the Central Bank of Ireland in December 2025, Confirmo Limited now holds dual regulatory authorisation, positioning it as one of the most comprehensively licensed stablecoin payment providers in Europe.
Under European Economic Area passporting rules, the dual Central Bank of Ireland authorisation grants Confirmo the right to offer crypto and payment services across all 27 EU member states from a single regulated hub, providing global enterprises and financial institutions with a compliant partner for cross-border stablecoin payments at scale.
MiCA transitional deadline and market consolidation
The announcement is timed against a significant regulatory inflexion point. MiCA's transitional grandfathering period expires on 1 July 2026, after which any crypto payment providers operating without full regulatory authorisation will be required to cease European operations. Confirmo states this will create a clear division between fully licensed providers and those that are not, and that the window for businesses to ensure their payment infrastructure is compliant is narrowing.
Furthermore, Confirmo's platform enables businesses to send, receive, and settle payments in leading stablecoins across major blockchain networks, with fiat conversion and accounting-ready reporting. The company was founded over 12 years ago and has built its offering around enterprise-scale stablecoin payment infrastructure.
Talking about the achievement, Anna Štrébl, CEO of Confirmo Group, said the dual authorisation marks the next chapter in over 12 years of building crypto payment infrastructure and positions the company as a fully regulated European platform ahead of the 1 July deadline. Derek Corcoran, CEO of Confirmo Limited in Ireland, noted that the authorisation gives businesses across Europe access to stablecoin payment infrastructure with regulatory certainty built on future-proofed foundations.
