Navro Texas Licence Adds Money Transmitter Authorization for US Payments

On November 2, 2026, London-based cross-border payments fintech Navro received a Money Transmitter Licence from the Texas Department of Banking. The approval allows the company to process payments, facilitate remittances, and support corporate clients with international payroll and fund disbursements inside the state.

Scope of the New Licence and Platform Capabilities

The Texas licence covers handling of payments and remittances for businesses operating in one of the largest state economies in the United States. Navro’s platform uses a single API to connect clients with multiple payment rails and providers. This setup targets reductions in costs and settlement times compared with traditional SWIFT messaging for international transfers.

Navro already supports payouts across more than 200 territories and 140 currencies. The new authorisation adds Texas to the jurisdictions where the firm can operate directly under state-level oversight. Corporate users can now route payments through compliant local channels without additional intermediaries for Texas-based activity.

Recent platform use cases include global payroll and pension disbursements. Clients such as Multiplier, which operates infrastructure in over 160 countries, and Strada, which provides end-to-end global payroll services, have integrated the system. Navro currently manages payouts for more than 200 large corporations and processes payments for 1,700 pension schemes, along with statutory and tax services spanning 95 countries.

Sequence of US State Authorisations and Funding Context

Texas becomes the fourth US jurisdiction where Navro holds a money transmitter licence. The company first obtained authorisation in Delaware in June 2025, followed by Washington D.C. in September 2025 and Florida at a later date. These licences form the basis of its North American expansion plan announced after a $41 million Series B round completed in May 2025 and led by Jump Capital.

Outside the United States, Navro maintains a Foreign Money Services Business registration in Canada and holds UK and EU licences. The Series B proceeds were allocated in part to support further state-level applications and operational scaling in North America. No additional timelines for new US licences were disclosed with the Texas announcement.

Market Position and Client Compliance Requirements

Texas ranks among leading US states for fintech activity and hosts a growing digital assets sector. The licence provides Navro clients with a direct, regulated path to serve entities that require Texas-compliant payment processing. CEO Aran Brown stated that the authorisation represents an important milestone in the firm’s US growth strategy and supplies clients with a compliant route into a market central to many expansion plans.

Companies handling cross-border payroll or vendor payments can now consolidate more of their US flows under Navro’s existing API without separate contracts for Texas. The addition aligns with the company’s 2026 focus on payroll and pensions verticals while maintaining its broader remittance and corporate payment services.
