“WHEN BANKS PAUSE, STABLECOINS APPLAUSE.”
Why did Visa choose BVNK for its stablecoin infrastructure?
In partnership with BVNK, Visa has launched a new stablecoin payout feature that seeks to improve the speed, cost, and availability of international payments.
The new feature is a component of Visa Direct, the company’s real-time payment network that presently moves over $1.7 trillion annually throughout the world.
With this release, companies can use stablecoins to pre-fund payments and promptly transfer funds to recipients’ digital wallets, even after regular business hours.
Payroll, gig economy payouts, creator revenues, and cross-border remittances where speed and availability to funds are important benefited greatly from this.
Stablecoins are virtual assets with a fixed value that are typically linked to fiat currencies like the US dollar. Stablecoin transactions can be finished in a matter of minutes since they depend on blockchain networks, providing a quicker option to conventional payment systems that can take several days to process.
The stablecoin settlement layer will be powered by BVNK, a UK-based provider of digital payments infrastructure.
The company is a major participant in the worldwide crypto payments market, processing over $30 billion in stablecoin transactions annually.
According to Mark Nelsen, Global Head of Product at Visa, “stablecoins offer a powerful way to reduce friction in global payments.” “This collaboration contributes to the global expansion of quick and effective payment options.”
In May 2025, Visa made its initial investment in BVNK. Later that year, Citigroup made a strategic investment. These investments show that institutional trust in stablecoins as a component of the mainstream financial system is expanding.
