MoneyGram will become an anchor validator for the Tempo blockchain, which specializes in money transfers. The partnership also includes the integration of stablecoin settlements into MoneyGram’s global payment infrastructure.
The team at MoneyGram, one of the world’s largest international money transfer providers for individuals, announced a partnership with the Tempo blockchain. The company joined the project as an anchor remittance validator, one of a limited number of participants responsible for verifying and validating transactions on the network. Under the agreement, MoneyGram will not only use the network but also help support its operations and security.
Tempo is a blockchain designed specifically for international payments and stablecoin settlements. The project was developed with the participation of payment provider Stripe and venture capital firm Paradigm. Tempo’s testnet launched in December 2025, while the mainnet went live on March 18, 2026.
MoneyGram serves more than 50 million customers across over 200 countries and jurisdictions. The company’s infrastructure includes nearly 500,000 physical locations as well as digital services.
Anthony Soohoo, Chair and CEO of MoneyGram, noted that the company’s years of experience managing international settlements and complying with regulatory requirements across multiple jurisdictions would help integrate blockchain solutions into the existing payment system at an institutional level.
Another key focus of the partnership will be the implementation of stablecoin settlements. MoneyGram, Tempo, and Stripe plan to integrate on-chain settlements into existing payment flows. Stripe is expected to settle transactions with MoneyGram through Tempo’s infrastructure, using the blockchain as the settlement layer.
According to Matt Huang, Founder and CEO of Tempo, the initiative is intended to improve liquidity management and treasury operations across MoneyGram’s international network. Going forward, the partners plan to expand the integration by adding new payment corridors and additional stablecoin use cases for global settlements.
Previously, Visa also launched an anchor validator node on Tempo, becoming one of the network’s key participants.
