Navro, a London-based payments FinTech, has secured a Money Transmitter Licence from the Texas Department of Banking. The licence allows the company to handle payments and facilitate remittances across Texas.

Why it matters

The licence extends Navro's North American footprint, building on existing authorisations in Delaware, Washington DC and Florida and a Foreign Money Services Business registration in Canada. It positions the company to serve Texas-based businesses and payment flows within its broader payments platform.

Navro manages workforce payouts for more than 200 large corporations and handles international payments for 1,700 pension schemes. Its Navro Statutory & Tax arm operates across 95 countries, while partner Multiplier uses its infrastructure in more than 160 countries.

Market Landscape

State-by-state money transmitter licensing remains the primary route for non-bank payments firms to operate across the US. Navro's Texas licence follows its earlier authorisations in Delaware, Washington DC and Florida, extending that footprint rather than starting a new market entry.

Businesses and individuals in Texas who send or receive international payments may gain access to Navro's services as it begins operating under the new licence. The extraction does not specify pricing or product changes for end customers.

The takeaway

Expanding through state licences is a practical step for payments firms seeking US reach. Businesses evaluating cross-border payment providers should confirm each provider's licensed states before relying on its services.
