Circle's mobile payment platform, Circle Pay, allows users to hold, send, and receive traditional fiat currencies. In September 2015, Circle received the first BitLicense issued from the New York State Department of Financial Services.

Up until December 2016, Circle Pay also operated as a Bitcoin wallet service to buy and sell Bitcoins.
