Wirex is now live on Tempo for enterprise stablecoin card programs

Wirex enables its partners to use Tempo as a key settlement layer for enterprise stablecoin card programs.

Wirex, the global stablecoin infrastructure provider and a principal member of Visa and Mastercard, has added Tempo to its platform. The live integration enables Wirex partners to select Tempo as a preferred settlement layer for enterprise stablecoin card programs.

Stablecoin card infrastructure built for scale

Wirex gives fintechs and digital platforms a single integration for regulated card issuance, wallets, compliance, and stablecoin settlement.

Wirex issues cards under its own licences as a principal member of Visa and Mastercard. Its infrastructure reached $1 billion in annualized onchain volume just 131 days after launch, and doubled that volume 110 days later, making it one of the fastest-scaling stablecoin card platforms in the industry.

“It’s great to offer Tempo as a key settlement layer for enterprise stablecoin card programs integrating with Wirex’s infrastructure. As a purpose-built blockchain for stablecoin payments at scale, Tempo gives our partners fast, predictable and private settlement, while Tempo’s advisory and engineering teams help them move from integration to production faster.”

Why Wirex chose Tempo

Wirex selected Tempo because it offers more than a settlement network, bringing extensive payments expertise thanks to their incubation by Stripe. Together, Wirex and Tempo can give enterprises a supported path from product design to a live stablecoin card program using Tempo’s Stablecoin Advisory.

Wirex provides the regulated card stack. Tempo’s Stablecoin Advisory and forward-deployed engineers work directly with customers to:

• Design the card and settlement flow
• Select and integrate the right infrastructure partners
• Move from architecture to prototype and production

This approach is informed by Tempo’s work with enterprises including DoorDash, Deel, Klarna, Felix, and ARQ.

“Wirex gives companies building on Tempo a straightforward way to launch stablecoin-backed card programs. Customers can combine Wirex’s regulated card infrastructure with Tempo’s settlement network and hands-on support to seamlessly bring new products to market.”

Customers also benefit from a network built specifically for stablecoin payments. Tempo provides Wirex partners with the following features:
