Singapore-based card-issuing platform DCS DeCard — part of DCS Card Centre, formerly Diners Club Singapore — is expanding its Visa-partnered stablecoin-linked card programmes from its original Asia-Pacific base into more than 70 markets across Europe, the Middle East, Africa and Latin America, according to FF News.
The expansion covers two products: a Cards-as-a-Service offering that lets fintechs and digital-asset platforms launch their own branded stablecoin-linked cards without building their own issuing infrastructure, and a DeCard Business Account offering stablecoin-enabled Visa corporate cards for mid-market and enterprise businesses to pay for items such as advertising, procurement and travel, with built-in expense-management and billing tools. The cards run on Visa’s network, which reaches more than 150 million merchant locations.
For businesses and individuals making cross-border payments — including covering overseas property costs or managing money across markets — this is a commercial product rollout by a card-issuing platform working with Visa’s rails, not a change in any country’s payment regulation; usability will still depend on local rules on stablecoins in each of the 70-plus markets, which FF News notes remain fragmented, particularly in Latin America and parts of the Middle East and Africa.
