Wirex has introduced a stablecoin push-to-card service, leveraging Visa Direct, through its BaaS platform.

The new feature allows businesses to deliver stablecoin-funded payments directly to eligible debit and credit cards. This capability covers more than three billion cards in over 200 countries and territories.

This launch tackles a significant challenge faced by stablecoin-based payment systems: the conversion of balances into user-friendly payouts has been operationally complex until now. By using Visa Direct’s card infrastructure, Wirex streamlines this process, eliminating the need for IBANs, SWIFT codes, or country-specific payout channels. Recipients can also receive funds with just a 16-digit card number, often within as little as 30 seconds.

Global Disbursement Capability

The service is seamlessly integrated through Wirex BaaS APIs, enabling partner businesses to incorporate push-to-card functionality directly into their products without managing local payout infrastructure. Wirex handles the underlying compliance and foreign exchange issues, offering transparent FX pricing and lower margins compared to traditional wire transfers.

This feature supports various business needs, such as paying contractors or freelancers, reimbursing employee expenses, and settling payments with suppliers. These use cases are crucial for companies with distributed teams or international vendor networks where quick and reliable payouts are essential.

Operations run on a 24/7 basis, including weekends and public holidays. A Wirex official noted that this development fills the gap between stablecoin efficiency at the network level and usability during disbursement, as historically, operational complexity and coverage limitations have hindered end-user experiences.

This expansion enhances the range of disbursement tools available via Wirex BaaS, positioning it as a key infrastructure layer for businesses looking to integrate stablecoin-based payment flows without assembling market-by-market solutions. The integration of Visa Direct’s card network with stablecoin settlement reflects broader industry trends toward hybrid models that combine blockchain-based value transfer with conventional card acceptance.
