Solaris SE is a fintech company based in Germany that provides banking functions such as account opening, KYC, payments, and card issuance to businesses via API. Through this acquisition, SBI has secured a strong foundation for offering digital financial services in compliance with Europe’s stringent regulatory environment. Solaris partners with major companies such as the U.S.-based crypto asset exchange Coinbase, Austria’s investment platform Bitpanda, and Samsung Pay’s mobile payment service. These companies utilize Solaris’s infrastructure to comply with regulatory requirements in the European market while delivering secure and seamless financial services to their users. For example, Coinbase uses Solaris’s KYC services to comply with MiCA (the EU’s Markets in Crypto-Assets regulation), and Samsung Pay has deployed contactless mobile payments in the German market through Solaris. SBI’s long-standing partnership with Ripple also warrants attention. Through SBI Ripple Asia, SBI has maintained close ties with Ripple, and Masashi Okuyama—an executive officer of SBI and also a board member at Ripple—sits on Solaris’s supervisory board. Against this backdrop, it is possible that international payment solutions using Ripple’s RLUSD or XRP may eventually be integrated with Solaris, although no such integration has been publicly confirmed at this time. SBI has also invested in Boerse Stuttgart Digital, the digital asset division of the Stuttgart Stock Exchange, and is working with Solaris to build an ecosystem for handling crypto assets and tokenized securities (RWA). Boerse Stuttgart Digital provides the trading infrastructure, while Solaris complements it with its licensed banking services. This infrastructure could potentially serve as the foundation for future integration with central bank digital currencies (CBDCs) and privately issued stablecoins. SBI’s acquisition of Solaris as a subsidiary establishes a regulatory-compliant digital financial infrastructure within Europe. Together with leading companies such as Coinbase, Samsung, and Bitpanda, SBI is working to build a new financial ecosystem that bridges real-world currencies with the tokenized economy.
