The partnership will provide Sokin clients with advanced global payment acceptance capabilities, combined with multi-currency accounts, FX, and treasuryTogether, Sokin and Adyen will support Sokin clients across the world, including US, Canada, UK, mainland Europe, UAE, Singapore and Australia

NEW YORK, April 29, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — Sokin, the cross-border business payments and financial platform, today announced a strategic global partnership with Adyen, the global financial technology platform of choice for leading businesses. The partnership adds global payment acceptance to Sokin’s existing multi-currency accounts, FX, and treasury infrastructure, giving businesses a single platform to manage their entire cross-border financial stack.

The offering, now live in the US, will also support clients across Canada, UK, mainland Europe, UAE, Singapore and Australia. Businesses can accept payments through Sokin’s checkout and payment links functionality across more than 35 payment methods, over 170 countries and territories, and charge and settle in multiple currencies.

Most businesses operating internationally run their payment acceptance and their treasury operations on different platforms. That creates reconciliation overhead, high FX costs, and gaps in visibility that compound as transaction volumes grow. The Sokin and Adyen partnership removes that split, unifying payment acceptance with treasury management in a single platform. In an agentic environment, where AI needs to decide, approve, execute, and settle within a single programmable infrastructure, a fragmented payments infrastructure is a structural barrier.

“Businesses growing internationally have always had to stitch together multiple providers just to manage the basics of getting paid and paying out. This partnership closes that gap. One platform, one relationship, one view of your entire cross-border stack. That matters more than ever as AI becomes part of how finance teams actually work,” said Vroon Modgill, founder and CEO of Sokin.

“Expanding into new markets always brings complexity around how businesses can accept and optimise local payments. By partnering with Sokin, we’re helping to remove those barriers and give growing businesses the ability to scale internationally with the confidence that their payment experience is built to perform in every market,” said Adrian Davis, Managing Director Financial Services & Insurance at Adyen. “Through our global network and data-driven insights, our partnership with Sokin will help global businesses continuously optimise how they accept payments, meeting their customers wherever they are.”

The partnership launches as Sokin continues a period of significant growth. The company has grown revenues more than eightfold since 2022, closed a Series B funding round in late 2025, and secured a $100 million debt facility in January 2026. Sokin launched its stablecoin capabilities in March 2026, creating a unified finance platform for digital assets and traditional currencies. The company is backed by Morgan Stanley Expansion Capital, Prysm Capital and counts PayPal veterans among its board and investor group.

– Industry First Real-Time SRP Capability Significantly Expands VersaBank’s Addressable Point-of-Sale Market in Both Canada and United States; Provides Immediate Economic Benefit to Existing Partners –

– Real-Time Funding Capability Significantly Strengthens Bank’s Competitive Advantage by Providing Immediate Incremental Economic Benefit to Existing Partners –

LONDON, ON, April 29, 2026 /CNW/ – VersaBank (TSX: VBNK) (NASDAQ: VBNK) (“VersaBank” or the “Bank”) a North American leader in business-to-business digital banking, as well as technology solutions for cybersecurity, today announced it has commenced a pilot program with one of its major Structured Receivable Program partner, FinanceIt Canada Inc. (“FinanceIt”), for the Bank’s new Real-Time Structured Receivable Program (“Real-Time SRP”) (the “Pilot Program”). The purpose of the Pilot Program is to demonstrate the functionality and operational integrity of the Real-Time SRP in a limited-scale, real-world scenario to refine the solution for full implementation by FinanceIt and simultaneous roll out to all VersaBank’s current and prospective SRP partners in both Canada and the United States.

VersaBank’s Real-Time SRP is a breakthrough innovation in point-of-sale financing, providing the same reliable, economically attractive funding solution as the Bank’s existing SRP, with the additional benefit of eliminating the need for SRP partners to warehouse multiple receivables over a period of time (typically from five to 30 or more days). This enables the Bank’s SRP partners to finance individual loans within just hours, reducing the overall financing cost and the need for warehouse financing. It also further strengthens VersaBank’s exceptional risk mitigation capabilities by enabling the Bank to better leverage its own, internal AI platform through evaluation of the partner loans underlying the SRP receivables on an individual basis.

“VersaBank’s Real-Time Structured Receivable Program takes our unique and highly successful digital point-of-sale financing solution to a whole new level, further extending our competitive advantage and, more importantly, significantly expanding the addressable market for our SRP on both sides of the border,” said David Taylor, Founder and President, VersaBank. “In Canada, we expect the launch of our Real-Time SRP to enable us to win additional financing business with our existing partners while enabling us to acquire new partners with more specialized financing needs that we were previously unable to address. In the United States, where our current SRP has been very well received by the point-of-sale industry and demand is exceeding our expectations, the addition of real-time capability will enable us to further capture market share from securitized financing providers, expanding our growth potential there.”

Mr. Taylor continued, “Our Real-Time SRP is yet another in our long track record of firsts in the banking industry. We are, as we always have been, as much a software and technology company as we are a national, federally licensed bank. The Real-Time SRP is the result of our relentless pursuit of continuous innovation to address underserved markets in the banking industry based on our internally developed, proprietary core banking software, which is now being supercharged by the addition of our own AI technology.”

“We are especially proud to be bringing this cutting-edge innovation to this time in support of both the Canadian Federal Government’s and the Office of the Superintendent of Financial Institutions’ stated desire to support the economic activity of both small business and consumers.”

“VersaBank’s Real-Time SRP is a game changer. The ability to instantly finance individual loans significantly enhances the efficiency and economics of our long-standing strategic relationship with VersaBank and is aligned with our own long term innovation objectives.” said Casper Wong, CEO of FinanceIt. “For more than a decade, VersaBank’s Structured Receivable Program has been foundational to our growth and success. We look forward to the significant additional benefits that the Real-Time SRP will generate for our business.”

ABOUT VERSABANK’S STRUCTURED RECEIVABLE PROGRAM

VersaBank’s Structured Receivable Program (“SRP”) is an innovative and highly attractive digital funding solution for finance companies that lend money to consumers and small businesses for what are typically “big ticket” purchases (e.g. consumer home improvement/HVAC projects and a wide variety of commercial equipment). It was specifically designed to address an unmet need in the market for consistently available, readily accessible financing with economically attractive capital designed to maximize return on equity while employing VersaBank’s proprietary, state-of-the-art banking technology.

As of January 31, 2026, VersaBank’s SRP portfolio exceeded CAD$4.4 billion (US$3.2 billion) and has grown at a compounded annual rate of 33% over the last five years. The Bank’s SRP was launched into the United States in late fiscal 2024 and completed US$310 million in fundings in its first year, surpassing the Bank’s first year target of US$290 million. Since VersaBank’s RPP was first launched 2010, the Bank has provided more than CAD$14 billion (US$10 billion) in funding to North American financing companies. The SRP is designed to provide scalable, capital‑efficient growth for the Bank with strong credit performance and attractive risk‑adjusted returns.
