Xryma is heading to Paris. The Cyprus-based payments and banktech group is set to list on Euronext Paris on July 24, pending final approval from the exchange. The Cyprus Securities and Exchange Commission has already signed off on the company’s prospectus, clearing one of the bigger hurdles in the process.
No new shares. No fresh capital. Xryma’s debut will be a straight direct listing — 110,079,450 ordinary shares, each carrying a nominal value of €0.07, trading under the ticker XRY. The company isn’t raising money here. The point, pretty much, is visibility and broadening who actually owns the stock. Right now, financial institutions dominate the shareholder register, and Xryma wants that to change. John Karantzis, Group CEO, said the listing would likely expand that base significantly. Aldebaran Advisors and others are advising on the transaction.
Not a bad FY25, either.
Revenue, Volume, and Seven Profitable Years
Xryma posted €53.4 million in transaction-driven revenue for its fiscal year 2025, processing roughly €4.0 billion in transaction volume. Its software subsidiary, Probanx, ran a separate but substantial operation — handling €206.7 billion in SaaS volume for clients. Those are two very different businesses sitting under one roof, and that’s kind of the whole point of the Xryma model: transactional services on one side, banking software licensing on the other.
Seven consecutive years of profitability. The company has been in the black every year for the better part of a decade, which is unusual in a fintech sector that’s more accustomed to burning cash than generating it. Xryma holds Electronic Money Institution authorizations in both the EU and the UK, and it’s a direct participant in the Eurosystem’s T2 and TIPS payment platforms — the real-time gross settlement infrastructure that sits at the core of European interbank payments. That’s not a credential most fintech startups can claim.
Probanx isn’t a small side project. It licenses banking software to financial institutions, giving Xryma reach into clients that might never touch its consumer-facing products. The dual structure — transactional revenue plus SaaS volume — gives the group a diversification that pure-play payment processors don’t have.
The Rebrand, the Name, and the CEO’s History
Xryma didn’t always go by that name. The company rebranded from ISX Financial EU in March 2026. The new name comes from the Greek word for money, which fits neatly with the firm’s Cypriot roots and its ambitions across European financial markets. The EEA-authorized electronic money institution itself still operates under the ISX Financial name — the parent changed, the licensed entity didn’t.
Non-Executive Chairman Takis Taoushanis said the listing was the product of a rigorous preparation process and is expected to set a precedent for other Cypriot companies thinking about the French market. It’s a reasonable claim. Euronext Paris doesn’t have many fintech or payments companies on its books, and a successful debut from a Cypriot group would be a first of sorts.
Karantzis is no stranger to complex regulatory situations. He previously led iSignthis, a company that got tangled in a notable legal dispute with the Australian Securities and Investments Commission over disclosure practices. He’s since steered Xryma through the EU regulatory landscape — EMI authorizations, Eurosystem participation, cross-border open banking — and the company seems to have come out the other side in reasonable shape.
The product lineup is expanding. Xryma’s open-banking product, PaidBy, handles account-to-account payments with dynamic currency conversion built in. And the company is preparing to launch an electronic-money token called XrymaCoin, ticker XREUR, which would put it squarely in the regulated digital asset space. No firm launch date was given for XREUR. Unclear yet how regulators will treat it in practice, but the EMI authorizations give Xryma a stronger starting position than most.
Paris, Precedent, and What Comes Next
If Euronext Paris grants final approval, Xryma joins a short list of fintech names on the exchange. The Paris market isn’t exactly known as a hub for payments technology companies — London and Amsterdam have historically pulled more of that deal flow. A Cypriot group landing there would be genuinely unusual.
The company is positioning the listing as a template. The idea, per Karantzis and Taoushanis, is that other Cypriot firms might follow if Xryma can show the route works. Whether that happens probably depends on how the stock trades in its early weeks, and on whether institutional buyers outside the existing shareholder base actually show up.
Xryma’s cross-border open banking services run across the EU and UK. The T2 and TIPS participation gives it plumbing that most fintechs have to route through a bank to access. Probanx adds the software layer. PaidBy adds the merchant-facing product. XrymaCoin, when it launches, adds a digital asset dimension. It’s a lot of moving parts for a company listing 110 million shares at seven euro cents each.
The July 24 date is still conditional. Final word from Euronext Paris is pending.
