NetXD, an innovative provider of cloud-native payment hub technology, today announced it has been positioned as a Visionary in the 2026 Gartner^® Magic Quadrant™ for Banking Payment Hub Platforms, published on January 20, 2026.

NetXD's XD Payments platform delivers a modern, cloud-based, ISO 20022–compliant payment hub through SaaS and PaaS models. The platform enables financial institutions to outsource payment processing while maintaining configuration flexibility across individual payment rails.

XD Payments features an API-led architecture with an integrated real-time ledger, enabling financial institutions to support real-time payments without requiring a real-time core banking system. This design allows banks to modernize payment capabilities while preserving existing core banking infrastructure.

The platform supports stablecoin payments and includes complementary capabilities for minting, burning, and custody of digital assets, extending payment processing beyond traditional rails to address emerging payment methods.

Built for speed and operational efficiency, XD Payments enables banks to modernize payment infrastructure with reduced complexity while supporting both traditional and emerging payment methods.

"We believe our positioning as a Visionary reflects our focus on building a forward-looking, cloud-native payment platform that helps banks expand payment capabilities across real-time and digital asset–based rails with speed and confidence," said Suresh Ramamurthi, CEO, NetXD.
