Wirex and Ultra Stellar launched native Stellar payment infrastructure built on Soroban, enabling stablecoin bank accounts, global card issuance, payouts, and yield directly on-chain for millions of users.
Wirex, serving 7 million users globally, and Ultra Stellar, the company behind LOBSTR wallet and StellarX DEX, announced a joint native payment infrastructure built directly on Soroban. The infrastructure provides production-ready financial capabilities including stablecoin virtual bank accounts, 1:1 fiat-stablecoin conversion, global co-branded card issuance accepted at 80 million merchants, seamless payouts via ACH, SEPA, PIX, FPS, SWIFT, and up to 6% APY on stablecoin balances. Unlike traditional integrations, this solution is built natively on Stellar, enabling developers and platforms to embed fully functional financial services directly on-chain. The partnership positions Stellar as one of the first blockchain ecosystems with complete native payment infrastructure capable of supporting global cards, bank accounts, and yield powered entirely by stablecoins.
