DECTA has selected OpenPayd to strengthen its international treasury infrastructure and operational settlement capabilities.
Through OpenPayd's regulated, rails-agnostic infrastructure, DECTA aims to enable faster and more efficient operational settlement across its business.
The partnership gives DECTA access to integrated fiat infrastructure, over-the-counter (OTC) conversion, and hybrid payment setups intended to support more efficient treasury management. As DECTA continues to serve fintechs and merchants operating across multiple markets, the company is investing in infrastructure to manage liquidity and settle obligations with fewer operational steps.
Lux Thiagarajah, Chief Commercial Officer at OpenPayd, said stablecoins are increasingly being used as a treasury tool by businesses operating internationally, with interest extending beyond companies focused on digital assets. Through the process of combining regulated fiat infrastructure with digital asset capabilities on a single platform, OpenPayd said it is supporting DECTA in modernising its treasury operations while maintaining institutional governance and control standards.
In addition, Scott Dawson, CEO at DECTA UK, said that the company's treasury operations need to match the scale and modernity of the payment infrastructure it provides to clients. According to the company, OpenPayd's infrastructure is expected to improve the speed and resilience of DECTA's international fund movements, while maintaining the regulatory discipline the company applies across its operations.
Industry context
The selection of OpenPayd reflects broader industry movement toward technologies that support operational efficiency and resilience. Institutional use of stablecoins has been growing as a means of improving liquidity management, streamlining settlement, and supporting cross-border operations, a trend that extends across payment technology companies beyond those with direct crypto exposure.
DECTA has clarified that the solution is used exclusively for its own proprietary treasury activity. It does not extend to customer-facing crypto or foreign exchange services, distinguishing this infrastructure upgrade from consumer- or merchant-facing product offerings.
The move adds to a wider pattern in the payments sector, where regulated financial infrastructure providers are positioning themselves to serve institutional treasury needs, combining traditional fiat rails with digital asset capabilities under a single regulatory framework.
