UAE fintech startup SaturnX raises $3 million in seed funding led by White Star Capital

UAE fintech startup SaturnX has raised $3 million in seed funding, led by White Star Capital with participation from institutional investors.

The funding will support the UAE-based infrastructure provider’s expansion into Southeast Asian corridors, such as the Philippines, Bangladesh, and Pakistan. This is in addition to improving regulatory compliance and building out its enterprise-grade API platform to meet rising demand for digital dollar transfers in emerging markets.

Established in 2024, SaturnX is a stablecoin payments infrastructure company that acts as an API layer for business-to-business (B2B) money transmitters and financial platforms.

The platform serves as a behind-the-scenes API layer for B2B money transmitters, corporates and financial platforms. In just five months of operation, the company has already processed over $250 million in transaction volume while maintaining profitability.

Mirnas Brescic (pictured), Founder and CEO of SaturnX, commented, “Our vision is to connect the worlds of decentralized and traditional finance with infrastructure that brings the benefits of stablecoins to everyday financial use cases.”

“Despite considerable progress, cross-border payments are still expensive and slow. By offering a faster, cheaper, and programmable alternative, we are helping financial partners unlock better ways to move money, starting with the world’s largest remittance corridors,” Brescic added.

With more than $600 billion in global annual remittance flows and rising demand for digital dollars in emerging markets, SaturnX is set to become a critical backend provider for the future of borderless payments.
