Cham, Switzerland & Paris, France — Ledger, the global leader in digital asset security, has partnered with Concordium, the Layer-1 blockchain built for PayFi and enterprise-ready stablecoins, to bring privacy-preserving, verified payments to millions of users.

The integration unlocks “1-Click Verify & Pay” — a feature that allows Ledger users to send stablecoin payments directly from their hardware wallets, instantly verified through Concordium’s protocol-level ID and zero-knowledge proofs (ZKPs).
This combination bridges the gap between security, privacy, and compliance — enabling payments wherever Apple Pay or Google Pay are accepted, but faster and more cost-efficient. “Partnering with Ledger isn’t just about processing more transactions — it’s about unlocking the speed and efficiency of blockchain for everyday payments. Together, we’re building a world where secure, verified stablecoin payments are seamless and accessible to everyone.”
Boris Bohrer-Bilowitzki, CEO of Concordium A New Standard for Secure, Compliant Payments
The integration combines Ledger’s hardware-level protection with Concordium’s onchain identity framework, offering users verifiable, privacy-preserving transactions that meet financial-grade compliance requirements.
Users can now:
Verify their identity on-chain with Concordium ID, sharing only necessary attributes (such as age or jurisdiction) via ZKPs, without exposing personal data. Pay with stablecoins issued on Concordium — faster, cheaper, and with full privacy. Manage CCD (Concordium’s native token) and protocol-level stablecoins securely through Ledger devices.
This system enables instant, verified payments while maintaining user privacy and regulatory readiness — addressing the key gap that has prevented digital currencies from mainstream adoption. “Traditional payment rails aren’t fit for modern use cases. We’re proud to work with Concordium to secure and simplify digital payments for everyone.”
Ian Rogers, Chief Experience Officer at Ledger Driving the PayFi Revolution
Concordium’s compliance-first Layer 1 is built for the next era of programmable payments — what the company calls PayFi. With its native identity layer and ZKP-based verification, the network supports stablecoins that can be used safely by both individuals and institutions.
This partnership positions Concordium as a key infrastructure provider for the emerging PayFi ecosystem — bridging self-custody, compliance, and global payment usability in one seamless experience.
As blockchain adoption accelerates, the collaboration between Ledger and Concordium represents a major step toward making stablecoin payments as intuitive as tapping your phone — but with the security and privacy of Web3 built in.
