The Japan Times - Amboss and Aureo Connect the Lightning Network to Mexico's Banking System

Amboss Technologies, the payments platform that connects businesses to instant, global payments, and Aureo, the Mexican platform that converts Lightning payments directly into peso bank deposits, today announced an integration that links the global Lightning Network to Mexico's banking system end to end.

Until now, the Lightning Network's instant settlement stopped at the edge of Mexico's financial system. With this integration, any business using Amboss Payments can route funds to an Aureo Lightning address and have them arrive as Mexican pesos in a bank account via SPEI, Mexico's interbank transfer system, in seconds. A customer pays in bitcoin over the Lightning Network, and the recipient in Mexico receives pesos in their bank account without touching an exchange.

Lightning payments have become increasingly popular, with a reach of more than 900 million users globally through exchange apps including Coinbase, Binance, and Cash App. For businesses, Lightning payments cost less than traditional payment cards and settle instantly and finally, with no chargeback risk, making them an attractive supplement to card processing.

The timing reflects a large and underserved market. The United States and Mexico traded an estimated $872 billion in goods in 2025, making Mexico America's largest trading partner, yet most cross-border business payments still move on slow and costly correspondent banking rails.

With Amboss and Aureo connected, a Mexican business can accept Lightning payments from customers across the United States and globally, hold balances in bitcoin, USDT, or USDC to manage treasury, and move funds to their Mexican bank account whenever they choose.

"Payment rails between the US and Mexico were designed decades ago, and businesses on both sides of the border pay for that every day," said Jesse Shrader, CEO and Co-Founder of Amboss Technologies.

With Aureo, a Mexican business can accept payments from more than 900 million people through the apps they already use, at a lower cost than card processing, with no chargebacks, and receive pesos in its bank account within seconds. But the opportunity goes beyond accepting payments: Mexican and international businesses can also use the same infrastructure to send pesos to suppliers, contractors, workers, or any other recipient with a Mexican bank account. That is what modern cross-border settlement should look like.

Mexican businesses have always been ready to sell to the world. What they lacked was a payment rail that matched their ambition,” said Gustavo Flores, CEO and Founder of Aureo. “By connecting to Amboss, we make it possible for any business in Mexico to accept instant payments from customers anywhere and receive pesos directly in its bank account, fully compliant with Mexican regulations. Through Aureo’s Direct to Bank feature, a business only needs to set up an Aureo Lightning address once and link it to its Mexican bank account. From that point on, incoming Lightning payments are automatically converted and deposited as pesos, removing the complexity of creating and paying individual Lightning invoices. This is the missing link between the global economy and the Mexican banking system.

The integration is live today. Aureo appears in the Destinations and Integrations sections of the Amboss Payments app, where users can direct incoming payments to any Aureo Lightning address. Aureo operates in full compliance with Mexican regulatory requirements, including KYC verification for all users.
