London, 26 March 2026 – Zepz — the group behind leading digital remittance brands WorldRemit and Sendwave today announced a partnership with TRM Labs, a leading blockchain intelligence platform, to support the global expansion of its stablecoin-based Sendwave Wallet for migrant communities and their families.
The integration of TRM’s blockchain intelligence will help Zepz manage financial crime risk, and scale its stablecoin offering as it expands into new markets.
Advancing financial access through stablecoins
Zepz serves millions of people sending funds to recipients across 130+ countries with over $17 billion transferred for customers in 2025. The majority of those customers are migrant workers who send money home each month to support their loved ones, helping them to pay bills, school fees and medical care, often in regions facing currency volatility or limited banking infrastructure.
In October 2025, Zepz launched the Sendwave Wallet to help support the needs of its customers. Built on Solana, the wallet empowers customers to seamlessly send and store USDC across more than 100 countries, leveraging stablecoin technology to provide a stable value while offering near-instant, reliable, and affordable transfers within the Sendwave ecosystem. Rather than immediately converting funds into local currency, customers can hold value in USDC and determine when and how to cash out. As digital asset-based remittances grow, effective risk management and compliance frameworks are essential to maintaining trust and meeting global regulatory expectations.
Embedding blockchain intelligence into stablecoin infrastructure
Since April 2025, TRM Labs has worked with Zepz to design and implement the financial crime controls underpinning its stablecoin products.
TRM provides blockchain intelligence to help organizations identify illicit activity, manage sanctions risk, and support anti-money laundering (AML) compliance. By embedding these capabilities into its wallet infrastructure, Zepz is combining cutting edge innovation in digital payments in tandem with strong safeguards and operational resilience.
“As Zepz builds the next generation of digital remittances, it is prioritizing both access and accountability,” said Will Bell, Business Lead at TRM Labs. “Our blockchain intelligence platform enables organizations to monitor activity in real time, manage risk exposure, and scale digital asset products in a way that aligns with regulatory expectations.”
“Our customers trust us with something deeply personal, supporting family and friends across borders,” said Zaheer Jassat, VP of Product at Zepz. “As we expand the Sendwave Wallet and our stablecoin capabilities, that trust becomes even more important. Partnering with TRM strengthens our ability to manage risk responsibly and maintain robust safeguards across our infrastructure, so customers can send, store, and spend their money with confidence.”
