2026 Q2 Newsletter

Here’s what we shipped in the second quarter of 2026.

## **Money movement**

- We launched [managed compliance](https://increase.com/documentation/managed-compliance) for platforms. In this model, you can delegate KYC and transaction monitoring to Increase and our bank partners instead of running them yourself. This makes launching a new product and program faster and easier than ever before on Increase, while preserving the optionality to graduate to sponsor banking as you grow.
- Blockchain transfers are [now in beta](https://www.finextra.com/pressarticle/110315/grasshopper-adds-stablecoin-based-payments-capability). Send and receive USDC from an Increase account, Increase handles the conversion to/from USD to stablecoin for you in minutes.
- [FedNow is live for all users](https://increase.com/documentation/sending-fednow-transfers#approvals). FedNow enables real-time clearing and settlement of domestic transactions within seconds, 24/7, directly through the Federal Reserve.

## **Things we wrote and said**

- We shared insights into the way [Vantaca uses Increase to power its Vendor Pay solution](https://app.notion.com/p/increase-com-bank-38a8b6dfe09b806ab3a4c2c049f7faa4?pvs=21).
- Matt Hennessy from Increase and Jamie Fox from Tekion joined the [Fintech One-on-One podcast](https://lnkd.in/gnxhQ9NK), hosted by Peter Renton, to discuss how embedded finance is helping to fuel growth for vertical fintechs.
- We wrote about [merchant category codes](https://increase.com/articles/seeing-like-a-network), the four-digit numbers that classify the type of goods or services a business offers.

## **Looking ahead**

- Up next we’re building out our cross-border payments and lending APIs. Let us know if you’re interested in trying them out!
