Getnet Platforms connects to Fedwire for real-time USD settlement

Getnet Platforms — the paytech business of Santander Group — has successfully connected its Payment Engine to Fedwire, the real-time gross settlement (RTGS) system operated by the U.S. Federal Reserve. This new rail enhances our global infrastructure and enables the real-time settlement of over $40 billion in daily USD payments, reinforcing our role as a trusted partner for financial institutions and corporates with complex, high-value payment needs.
Fedwire for real-time USD settlement

A platform designed for scale and certainty

Our cloud-native, API-first Payment Engine processes payments at scale for Santander and open market clients — combining speed, resilience, and regulatory compliance. With Fedwire connectivity now live, clients gain access to secure USD settlement with finality, aligned with U.S. regulatory and messaging standards, including ISO 20022.

Why it matters

High-value and cross-border USD transactions demand more than just speed. They require predictability, visibility, and total alignment with local standards. This direct connection to Fedwire gives clients enhanced control over liquidity, greater operational efficiency, and the assurance of compliance in one of the world’s most systemically important currencies.

Building a global infrastructure, together

This go-live is the result of a highly coordinated effort across our engineering, operations, product, and compliance teams. It represents more than a technical achievement — it’s a step forward in delivering modern payment infrastructure that’s ready for the future of finance.

What’s next

Fedwire is just one of the strategic rails within our real-time roadmap. It enables us to expand liquidity automation, accelerate high-value flows, and interconnect more deeply with the U.S. financial system — all while continuing to simplify complexity for our clients across markets and sectors.
