Stablecoin-funded payouts to eligible cards worldwide, embedded via Wirex BaaS APIs and built for global scale.
LONDON, Feb. 18, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- Wirex, a full-stack crypto card issuer and Banking-as-a-Service (BaaS) provider, announced Stablecoin Push-to-Card, powered by Visa Direct.
Wirex is taking stablecoin utility to the last mile - where payout experiences are won or lost. Via Wirex BaaS APIs, partners can embed Stablecoin Push-to-Card and deliver stablecoin-funded payouts directly to recipients' eligible cards worldwide, turning on a familiar "paid to card" experience inside their products.
For platforms, this shifts the heavy lifting away from assembling and maintaining local payout infrastructure across markets. Instead of building a patchwork of rails, integrations, and exception handling country by country, partners can use Wirex BaaS to support a card-first payout endpoint that scales internationally while keeping operational complexity behind the scenes.
"Stablecoins are great at moving value globally, but the last mile is still where payout experiences break down - on usability, coverage, and operational complexity," said Pavel Matveev, Co-founder of Wirex. "Stablecoin Push-to-Card powered by Visa Direct closes that gap by turning stablecoin-funded balances into card payouts. Delivered through Wirex BaaS, it gives partners an embedded capability they can integrate via API to support real-time disbursements to eligible cards worldwide, with the consistency and control required for production-grade payout flows."
