Santander announced that the app, named Pago FX, will have its debut this year in Great Britain, Germany and Poland. It will be available for anyone, regardless of whether they are currently Santander customers or not. The app will be aimed towards individuals as well as small and medium enterprises, allowing international payments. It will be based on the One Pay FX app, which has been available since last year.

It allows the user to make international transactions in close to real time, using blockchain technology, and is available for selected customers in Poland as well as Spain, Brazil and Great Britain.
