Visa <\/a>is ushering digital payments into a new era. The payment giant has announced a partnership with British fintech company BVNK, thanks to which it will begin supporting payments via stablecoins in its infrastructure. The new feature will allow companies to send money to digital wallets instantly\u2014even outside normal banking hours.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

BVNK’s stablecoin infrastructure will become part of the Visa Direct platform, which today powers one of the world’s largest instant payment networks. Approximately $1.7 trillion flows through it annually. The service is used by companies and digital platforms for fast payments to individuals, typically for wages or cross-border transfers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Companies in certain selected countries will now be able to pre-fund payments in stablecoins and send them directly to recipients’ crypto wallets. Stablecoins are cryptocurrencies pegged to a fixed value, most often the US dollar. This allows them to combine the advantages of blockchain\u2014speed and continuous operation\u2014with the stability of traditional currencies.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Fast money without waiting for banks<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

This combination is key for Visa. “Stablecoins represent an exciting opportunity for global payments<\/a>. They have tremendous potential to reduce friction in the system and expand access to faster and more efficient payment options,” said Mark Nelsen, Visa’s global head of products.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The technical side of the entire solution will be provided by BVNK, which already processes over $30 billion in stablecoin payments annually. Visa entered the company through its investment division in May 2025. Five months later, Citigroup followed with a strategic investment. The current agreement thus confirms the growing confidence of large financial institutions in stablecoins as a legitimate part of the mainstream financial system.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The launch of the new service will begin in markets<\/a> where there is high demand for digital assets and crypto payments. Further expansion will depend on customer interest and the regulatory environment in individual countries.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

For ordinary users, this could mean a fundamental change in how quickly they can access their money. Paychecks, project payments, or international transfers no longer have to wait for banking days and opening hours. With this step, the vision of money moving globally in seconds is once again closer to reality.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
