The expansion follows the organisation’s recent authorisation as an electronic money institution by the Central Bank of Ireland, providing a strategic gateway to support SMEs across the continent.

Hong Kong fintech Currenxie, which recently established an Ireland-based team, has announced plans to create 30 jobs in Dublin, which is the company’s European base of operations. The new roles will be in areas such as technology, operations, compliance, finance and client services.

The 30 jobs will be filled in the next two years and the expansion follows the company’s recent authorisation as an electronic money institution (EMI) by the Central Bank of Ireland, which Currenxie said has provided the company with a strategic gateway to support established SMEs across the continent.

Currenxie also stated that the move provides European finance leaders with the local payout and collection infrastructure needed to navigate complex global trade corridors, particularly between Europe and the Asia-Pacific region.

Commenting on the announcement, the Minister for Enterprise, Tourism and Employment Peter Burke, TD said: “I welcome Currenxie’s decision to establish its European operations in Dublin and their plans to create high quality jobs over the next two years. 

“The company’s decision reflects confidence in Ireland as a stable, innovative and well-regulated location from which to serve European markets.”

Michael Lohan, the CEO of IDA Ireland added: “We are delighted to welcome Currenxie as it establishes itself in Ireland. This announcement reinforces Ireland’s position as a leading location for international financial services and fintech companies, offering a highly skilled talent pool, a strong and well-regulated financial ecosystem, and direct access to customers across Europe.”

2026 has seen a positive uptick in investment within Ireland’s fintech ecosystem. In April, Dublin-based start-up Audrey AI announced the closure of a $1.8m pre-seed funding round. In early February, Dublin-based fintech company Circit secured $22m in growth equity funding to further scale its financial auditing and verification platform.
