Electronic Money Tokens - MiCA Title IV
EURSMUSDSM

Any digital asset wallet supports EURSM and USDSM. Issued by Stable mint Ltd as an EU-authorised Electronic Money Institution, with a statutory 1:1 redemption right under MiCA Title IV.

Safeguards

Regulated at every layer.

Reserves are safeguarded across three regulated EU credit institutions, with no single counterparty holding them all. EURSM is pausable and supports compliance-driven address freezing at the contract level, which matters for any regulated platform with its own licensing and counterparty obligations.

The use case

Cross-jurisdiction collections, settled in seconds.

You run a European e-commerce platform: customers across the EU, your operation in another jurisdiction. They pay in their local currency, by pay-by-bank, card, or bank transfer. You need that money in your operating currency, fast.

On traditional rails it lands at T+2 to T+3, with reserve drag and an FX margin on every leg. Stable Mint's regulated checkout collapses the whole collection-to-settlement leg to roughly ten seconds, and holds your balance in EURSM, a MiCA Title IV EMT.

The challenge

Three constraints
shape the build.

Cross-jurisdiction settlement drag

Your customers sit in one European jurisdiction, your operation in another. Traditional rails settle at T+2 to T+3, with reserve drag and an FX margin on every leg.

A stitched stack of vendors

Pay-by-bank, card acceptance, and bank transfer usually mean three vendor relationships, three reconciliation feeds, and three commercial contracts.

A regulated settlement counterparty

Holding operating balances against a non-compliant issuer is now a compliance question for any MiCA-authorised business.

The architecture

One regulated rail,
collection to settlement.

Why Stable Mint

Four capabilities
decided the architecture.

Three payment methods, one checkout

Pay-by-bank via open banking, card, and bank transfer, all through one Stable Mint checkout. One contract, one reconciliation feed, one regulated counterparty.

Cross-jurisdiction collection in seconds

Collect locally in your customer's jurisdiction; settle instantly into your operating wallet anywhere in Europe. No T+2/T+3 reserve drag, no separate FX leg.

EURSM as the settlement asset

Your balances sit in a MiCA Title IV EMT issued by Stable Mint as an EU-authorised EMI, with a statutory 1:1 redemption right. Not a third-party-issued stablecoin.

Fiat off-ramp on demand

Hold balances in EURSM, or redeem to your bank whenever you need fiat. Cross-jurisdiction dispatch via SEPA Instant or SWIFT.

The verdict

Cross-border collection on traditional rails settles at T+2, with FX margin and reserve drag on every leg. Our regulated EMT layer collapses it to real-time, and the settlement asset itself is MiCA-authorised.

How it works

What it looks like
to run it.

  1. 01

    Drop in the checkout

    Add the Stable Mint checkout to your existing flow. It sits in the page you already have, so there is no new front end to build and nothing changes for the shopper.

  2. 02

    Reconciliation runs itself

    Payments land on a customer-named virtual IBAN and reconcile automatically, by reference. No manual matching, no separate collection-account admin.

  3. 03

    Your treasury, your controls

    The treasury controls and approval flows your finance team already runs carry straight over, so there is no new process to stand up.

Results

What the architecture delivers.

01 Speed

Settlement in seconds

Collection lands in your wallet in roughly ten seconds, down from T+2/T+3 on traditional rails, so working capital is available immediately, not trapped in reserve.

02 Simplicity

One regulated checkout

Pay-by-bank, card and bank transfer through a single counterparty, with one contract and one reconciliation feed, not a stitched stack of three.

03 Safety

Regulated settlement asset

Balances sit in EURSM, a MiCA Title IV EMT, with reserves across regulated EU credit institutions and a statutory 1:1 redemption right.

04 Liquidity

Fiat off-ramp on demand

Hold in EURSM or redeem to your bank at par whenever you need fiat, dispatched cross-jurisdiction via SEPA Instant or SWIFT.

We were stitching together three PSPs for pay-by-bank, card, and bank transfer, plus a banking partner for collection accounts, plus a stablecoin provider on top. Stable Mint collapsed all of that into one regulated counterparty, and the settlement leg is instant.
