London, UK — September 9, 2026 — Sage Capital Management, which provides institutional clients with a complete operating system for digital assets, has selected OpenPayd, a leading provider of financial infrastructure, to extend its banking capabilities. The live integration adds USD, EUR and GBP payment capabilities, including USD on/off-ramping via SWIFT, alongside SEPA and Faster Payments connectivity.

The development gives Sage Capital Management’s clients fast settlement and enhanced technology capabilities, allowing them to move money seamlessly within a single platform. OpenPayd also enables the firm to issue virtual International Bank Account Numbers (vIBANs) for every client, supporting precise tracking of incoming and outgoing payments and simplifying reconciliation. Unlike conventional IBANs tied to a single account, vIBANs can be issued individually, so each client’s flows carry a distinct identifier even when funds move through shared banking infrastructure.

Building on Sage Capital Management’s existing banking capabilities, the integration broadens fiat access for institutional clients moving money into and out of digital asset markets. Through OpenPayd, Sage Capital Management holds a USD account with SWIFT connectivity for fiat on/off-ramping, makes EUR payments via SEPA, and processes GBP payments through Faster Payments and SWIFT. The rails cover distinct corridors: SWIFT carries cross-border payment instructions between banks worldwide, SEPA — the Single Euro Payments Area — handles euro transfers across participating European countries, and Faster Payments is the UK’s near-instant sterling scheme. Fiat on/off-ramping in this context refers to the step of moving between traditional bank money and digital assets, the point at which institutional capital enters and exits trading venues. This multi-rail access supports client payment collections and fiat settlements to liquidity providers — a core operational requirement for institutions trading digital assets at scale.

For Sage Capital Management’s institutional clients — hedge funds, asset managers, trading firms, brokers, corporate treasuries and digital asset treasuries — the added currencies and payment networks provide greater optionality in how they fund activity and settle with liquidity providers, without relying on a single rail or currency corridor.

Lux Thiagarajah, Chief Commercial Officer at OpenPayd, said: “Institutional access to digital assets depends on being able to move money efficiently on both sides of the trade. Fiat on/off-ramping gives institutions greater choice in how they access digital asset markets, while reliable payment connectivity is essential for moving funds between clients and counterparties. Sage Capital Management is simplifying how institutions access digital asset markets, and our role is to provide the fiat connectivity that supports that proposition.”

Nathan Sage, CEO at Sage Capital Management, said: “OpenPayd is a major player in the crypto banking ecosystem, and this strategic partnership adds further strength and credibility to our platform. Our focus remains on providing clients with fast, flexible, secure and seamless access to global banking networks, enabling clients to move quickly between fiat and digital assets, and manage payments and FX. Our partnership with OpenPayd enables us to meet the highest standards of transparency and regulatory alignment.”

Sage Capital Management now offers institutional clients the full infrastructure needed to operate their digital asset offering, including banking, access to liquidity, collateralised lending and technology. The firm launched its banking offering earlier this year, providing clients with named, multi-currency accounts in their own legal entity, alongside physical and virtual corporate debit cards linked directly to those accounts.
