Payment orchestration platform BR-DGE has revealed it is now supporting a new global alternative payment method (APM) on its platform, through a new partnership with digital wallet service provider AstroPay.
BR-DGE has now successfully integrated AstroPay into its platform, making it available as an APM for BR-DGE’s merchant customers. The move comes as the latest expansion of the BR-DGE platform, which aims to help merchants scale, enter new markets, introduce innovative features, optimise costs, and adapt to the changing face of payments.
Through the AstroPay multicurrency wallet, individuals and businesses can receive and withdraw international payments from global clients and platforms with ease, eliminating common transaction hurdles. With multi-currency storage and conversion capabilities, travellers and digital nomads can efficiently manage their money while benefiting from competitive exchange rates.
The new partnership also represents a meaningful step in AstroPay’s growth, expanding its reach through BR-DGE’s modular infrastructure, broad distribution network, and strong presence in high-demand verticals.
“In a global, digital world, people expect to be able to send money across borders as easily as they do within their own country,” said Diego Steinberg, COO of AstroPay. “BR-DGE is a trusted and industry-leading payment orchestration platform, and through our partnership, they can continue to help numerous enterprise merchants to enhance their tech stacks and customer payment processes.”
AstroPay also enables users to make cross-border transactions while offering competitive foreign exchange rates, ensuring they get the most value for their money while spending abroad. Users also experience faster and lower-cost transactions, avoiding the high fees and slow processing times that often accompany traditional banking methods.
Solving the disconnect
Bringing together over 400 payment technology solutions in one place, BR-DGE works as an independent, trusted and vendor-agnostic partner for the whole ecosystem, creating value and driving better outcomes for payment providers, their merchants and consumers.
Tom Voaden, VP commercial at BR-DGE, also commented: “BR-DGE is solving the disconnect between ecosystem players by working as an anchor point and single source of payment orchestration. AstroPay is a fast-growing and increasingly important payment method for millions of people around the world and is now available to our merchants and payment providers.
“We’re fully committed to the continued expansion of our payment acceptance network and range of available payment methods, to ensure our customers can stay ahead of consumer demand. Adding AstroPay is the next step in that journey.”
Founded in Edinburgh in 2018, BR-DGE now processes millions of transactions monthly on behalf of high-volume customers. With several large brands already on the platform, BR-DGE says it is positioned to become the orchestration partner of choice and distribution outlet for payments connectivity, routing, as well as data services.
