DCS DeCard Expands Global Collaboration with Visa to Advance Stablecoin-Linked Consumer and Commercial Card Payments across over 70 Markets Worldwide

DCS DeCard, a card and payments infrastructure platform powered by DCS Group, today announced an expanded collaboration with Visa, a global leader in digital payments, to accelerate the international rollout of its consumer and commercial stablecoin-linked cards, enabling more businesses to integrate stablecoins into everyday spending and corporate expenditure.

The expansion marks a significant step in DCS DeCard's international growth, extending its stablecoin-linked card issuing capabilities beyond Asia Pacific to over 70 markets across Europe, the Middle East, Africa and Latin America.

The collaboration will support two key areas of DCS DeCard's business: its Cards-as-a-Service (CaaS) offering, which enables fintechs, digital asset platforms and other businesses to launch branded stablecoin-linked card programmes, and DeCard Business Account, its corporate card and spend management platform, which is being expanded to support stablecoin-enabled corporate payments.

"Stablecoins are creating new opportunities for businesses, from developing payment products to managing corporate expenditure. But realising these opportunities at scale requires reliable infrastructure and access to established payment networks," said George Jiang, Head of DCS DeCard. "Our expanded collaboration with Visa marks a significant milestone in DCS DeCard's global ambitions, enabling us to extend our capabilities across more than 70 markets. This opens up new opportunities to reach new customers, work with more partners and bring stablecoin-linked payment solutions to businesses around the world."

“The opportunity for stablecoins lies in making them useful for everyday payments, for consumers and businesses,” said Nischint Sanghavi, Head of Digital Currencies, Asia Pacific, Visa. “Through our expanded collaboration with DCS DeCard, we are connecting stablecoin-linked payment solutions to Visa’s global network, helping partners bring new card programmes to market and businesses meet their corporate spending needs. Together, we aim to give more customers greater choice in how they pay, backed by the trust and acceptance of the Visa network.”

Through its CaaS infrastructure, DCS DeCard supports partners across card programme development, issuance, transaction processing and ongoing operations, enabling them to introduce branded payment products without building their own issuing infrastructure. Backed by DCS Group's more than 50 years of payments heritage, DCS DeCard combines established card issuing expertise with the infrastructure needed to support the next generation of stablecoin-linked payment solutions.

Alongside its CaaS expansion, DCS DeCard has also introduced stablecoin-enabled Visa corporate cards through DeCard Business Account, extending its corporate card and spend management capabilities to eligible international markets. Designed for mid-market and enterprise businesses, DeCard Business Account combines corporate cards with centralised spend management capabilities, including expense management, billing, invoicing and transaction reporting. The stablecoin-enabled offering will support corporate spending needs across areas such as advertising and media buying, procurement, travel and other operational expenditure.

Together, these developments reflect DCS DeCard's strategy to provide businesses with both the infrastructure to launch their own payment products and direct access to corporate payment and spend management solutions, expanding the practical applications of stablecoins in real-world commerce.
