DCS DeCard and Visa expand collaboration on stablecoin payments

By Divya Shah

Why this matters: The partnership shows how FinTechs are connecting stablecoins with established card networks to expand digital asset payments and corporate spending.

DCS DeCard, a card and payments infrastructure provider backed by DCS Group, has expanded its collaboration with Visa to support the international rollout of stablecoin-linked consumer and corporate cards. 

The expanded partnership aims to help more businesses use stablecoins for everyday payments and corporate spending by connecting digital asset-based payment solutions to Visa’s global payment network. 

The collaboration will focus on two areas of DCS DeCard’s business: its Cards-as-a-Service (CaaS) offering and DeCard Business Account. 

Through its CaaS platform, DCS DeCard allows FinTech companies, digital asset platforms and other businesses to launch their own branded stablecoin-linked card programmes without having to build their own card issuing infrastructure. 

George Jiang, Head of DCS DeCard, said, “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”.

The platform supports the full card programme process, including development, issuance, transaction processing and ongoing operations. 

The second area, DeCard Business Account, is a corporate card and spend management platform that is being expanded to support stablecoin-enabled business payments. 

The offering is designed for mid-sized and large businesses, combining corporate cards with centralised spending management tools. These include expense management, billing, invoicing and transaction reporting. 

The stablecoin-enabled corporate cards will support business expenses such as advertising, media buying, procurement, travel and other operational spending across eligible international markets. 

Nischint Sanghavi, Head of Digital Currencies for Asia Pacific at Visa, said the expanded collaboration would connect stablecoin-linked payment solutions to Visa’s global network. He added that the partnership would help businesses introduce new card programmes and provide customers with more payment choices. 

DCS DeCard is backed by DCS Group, which has more than 50 years of experience in the payments industry. The company combines traditional card issuing expertise with infrastructure designed to support stablecoin-linked payment services. 

Through the expanded partnership, DCS DeCard aims to provide businesses with both the technology to launch their own payment products and direct access to corporate card and spending management solutions, supporting the use of stablecoins in everyday business transactions.
