Stablecoin payments promise speed and transparency, but most corporations still lack a “bank-like” way to use them safely. In this Compliance Champions episode, Delphine Forma sits down with Bertrand Godin, Co-Founder & COO at Fipto, to unpack what it takes to operationalize stablecoin payments in Europe.

• Why Fipto built payments-first (not trading/investment) stablecoin infrastructure
  
  
• Corporate accounts that unify fiat + stablecoins (incl. USDC) with clean accounting data
  
  
• The strategic choice to pursue both payment + MiCA licensing in France
  
  
• Designing controls early: beneficiary data, screening, and travel-rule readiness
  
  
• What surprised them in the process: timelines, regulator detail, and safeguarding nuances
  
  
• Scaling operations through automation and pragmatic use of AI internally
  
  

A clear look at how compliance and product design intersect when stablecoins move from “crypto” to real payments.
