Helsinki, Finland – March 24, 2025
Higlobe, a Palo Alto-based fintech company revolutionizing cross-border payments, has announced a strategic partnership with Tesseract, a leading digital asset lending platform. This collaboration aims to integrate decentralized finance (DeFi) yield products into Higlobe’s platform, enhancing financial opportunities for freelancers and businesses receiving payments from U.S. clients.
Founded in 2020 by Teymour H. Farman-Farmaian and Jeff Bolton, Higlobe offers a subscription-based service that enables non-U.S. freelancers and companies to receive payments from U.S.-based clients quickly and without international money transfer fees. The platform utilizes asset-backed stablecoins for efficient cross-border transactions and is registered as a Money Services Business (MSB) regulated by the U.S. Treasury Department’s FinCEN.
The partnership with Tesseract will introduce “Higlobe Earn,” a feature allowing users to earn yield on their balances through DeFi products. This integration provides an intuitive self-serve channel for users to access yield-bearing products, aligning with Higlobe’s mission to move the world’s money instantly and at no cost.
“We have chosen Tesseract as our DeFi partner because the platform enables us to easily gain access to yield-bearing products via an intuitive self-serve channel,” said Teymour Farman-Farmaian, CEO of Higlobe.
Tesseract, known for its commitment to security and compliance, recently achieved ISO 27001 certification, underscoring its dedication to information security management. The company’s platform offers institutional-grade digital asset lending services, making it a trusted partner for fintech companies seeking to integrate DeFi or Lending solutions.
“We are proud to work with Higlobe.” said Yichen Wu, Founder of Tesseract. “This partnership exemplifies our commitment to providing secure and accessible DeFi solutions to a global audience.”
