This integration brings local collections, payouts, FX, and corporate treasury across African markets, with direct reach into local banks and more than 15 mobile money operators, to the Borderless.xyz payments network.

Borderless.xyz, the global stablecoin orchestration and liquidity network, today announced that CrissCross is live on its network as a Partner Financial Institution (PFI), expanding stablecoin on/offramp coverage across Africa. African corridors are among the network’s most active, with South Africa, Nigeria, and Ghana already ranking among its top routes, and demand keeps growing. CrissCross adds local depth across the continent, available immediately to Borderless.xyz customers through their existing API integration.

CrissCross builds cross-border payment infrastructure for businesses trading in Africa: local collections, payouts, FX, and treasury management across the continent. CrissCross runs direct integrations into local bank networks and more than 15 mobile money operators, a distinction that matters because in many African markets mobile money functions as the primary banking system. CrissCross’s reach into Francophone West and Central Africa covers eleven countries running on operators in markets where most provider coverage stops at the border. Its merchant-of-record model lets businesses operate across the region, and into Egypt and the UAE, without carrying local entity and licensing requirements themselves.

“Emerging markets are where stablecoin payments earn their keep, and Africa is the clearest case. The rails, the currencies, and the banking realities are different in every market, and CrissCross knows them from the ground. That’s the kind of depth we’re looking to provide our clients.” — Kevin Lehtiniitty, CEO, Borderless.xyz

“Africa’s payments landscape requires deep local expertise, genuine in-market infrastructure and deep liquidity. Traditional methods for moving money across the continent are slow and expensive. Our partnership with Borderless brings direct local access and faster, cheaper money movement to a global client base that has historically struggled to reach African markets efficiently.” – James Cope, GM, CrissCross 

CrissCross’s corridors are available to all existing Borderless.xyz customers immediately, with no additional onboarding, contract negotiation, or API integration required. The value runs both ways: joining the network routes demand from Borderless.xyz customers around the world to CrissCross’s corridors through a single integration. Borderless.xyz’s network currently connects wallet infrastructure to 15+ locally-licensed stablecoin providers across 100+ countries and 75+ fiat currencies.

Fusion Markets has extended Negative Balance Protection to clients outside Australia, effective immediately. The safeguard, which prevents a trading account from falling below zero during periods of extreme market volatility, was previously available only to Australian retail clients. 

Negative Balance Protection (NBP) works by resetting an account balance to zero if losses exceed available equity, meaning clients can never lose more than the funds in their account. Australian retail clients have had access to this protection as part of Fusion’s compliance with Australian regulatory standards. Clients trading outside Australia did not previously have the same guarantee, but after the extension to clients worldwide, that gap is now closed. 

Fusion Markets clients, both inside and outside Australia, now trade with the same downside protection as of today, given they meet the NBP eligibility requirements outlined in Fusion’s NBP policy document. No action is required from clients, as the change applies to eligible new and existing accounts, which will be reset to zero on the next business day. 

CEO Phil Horner said the extension reflects a broader principle Fusion applies across its client base. 

“Negative Balance Protection isn’t something that should depend on which entity a client happens to be signed up with. Extreme moves in the market can happen to anyone, and that shouldn’t leave a client out of pocket beyond what they put in. That is why we’ve extended the same protection to traders worldwide.” 

The change applies across all account types and instruments, including forex, indices, commodities, and share CFDs.

This rollout is part Fusion Markets’ wider efforts to improve the trading experience. Along with 24/7 withdrawals and greatly improved processing times, Fusion has remained focused on building features that reflect their mission of changing traders’ expectation of their broker by providing radically low costs, a frictionless trading experience, and fast, legendary service.

Copenhagen-based marketplace agency INNELS has launched the EU Compliance Checker, a free tool that gives Amazon sellers a country-by-country compliance scorecard in under two minutes, covering GPSR requirements, EPR registration, CE marking, and country-specific rules.

Kongens Lyngby, Copenhagen, Denmark, 18th Aug 2026 – INNELS, a Copenhagen-based full-service Amazon agency, today announced the launch of the EU Compliance Checker, a free online tool that shows Amazon sellers which European regulations their products meet and which could get their listings blocked. The tool requires no account and no credit card, and returns a full country-by-country compliance scorecard in under two minutes. It is available at https://check.innels.com/compliance-checker/.

The launch follows internal research by INNELS showing that approximately seven in ten Amazon brands selling into the European Union have at least one active compliance issue at any given moment, and most discover it only after a listing has already been deactivated. The EU Compliance Checker was built to move that discovery forward, so sellers can identify and fix gaps before they affect sales.

How the EU Compliance Checker works
The tool accepts a live Amazon listing URL and a short set of product details, including category, target marketplaces, packaging materials, ingredient list where relevant, country of manufacture, and company location. In under two minutes it returns a country-by-country compliance scorecard for the seller’s target EU markets, a prioritized list of blockers and risks, an estimated timeline to compliant launch, and an estimated cost range, delivered both on-screen and by email.

The checker evaluates listings against the regulatory frameworks that apply to brands selling on Amazon in Europe, including General Product Safety Regulation (GPSR) requirements such as the EU-based Responsible Person designation, Extended Producer Responsibility (EPR) registration in each target country, CE marking for regulated categories, EU VAT registration, cosmetic product notification through the CPNP portal, battery registrations, and language localization requirements for individual markets such as Germany and France. Checks run against current country-specific rules across all 27 EU markets rather than a generic checklist.

The tool is free and designed to be useful whether or not a seller ever works with INNELS.

Why INNELS built the tool
INNELS developed the EU Compliance Checker based on its work with more than 90 brands selling into Europe, the United Kingdom, and the United States. Across more than 100 structured client conversations, compliance appeared as the single most common operational issue, ahead of advertising efficiency, inventory coordination, and buy-box loss. The company is releasing the underlying research as a free report alongside the tool.

Quotes
“Compliance is the number-one stopover for Amazon brands trying to expand to the EU,” said Mark Daniel Zalomajev, Co-Founder and CEO of INNELS. “Every market has its own regulation, every category has its own rule, and most US and UK Amazon playbooks simply don’t translate. Nearly seven out of ten first-time clients raise compliance as their main pain point. We built this tool so brands can get a working answer in two minutes, instead of paying a consultant for the same diagnostic.”

“We see too many brands discover they have a compliance problem only after a listing is already suppressed,” added Andrejs Klimovskis, Co-Founder of INNELS. “By that point the appeal cycle has started, and every failed appeal makes the next one harder. One of our enterprise clients lost over 500,000 euros in Q4 last year because a single listing in Germany was silently suppressed during peak season. The point of this checker is to catch that exact gap early.”
