At Wirex, we’ve always believed that the future of finance should be open, accessible, and built on real-world utility. That’s why we’re thrilled to announce a major milestone in our journey — Wirex Pay is officially joining the Stellar ecosystem, supported by a top-tier award from the Stellar Community Fund (SCF).
This partnership allows us to launch Wirex Pay’s infrastructure natively on the Stellar blockchain, helping us supercharge the way people and businesses interact with stablecoins globally.
Why Stellar?
The Stellar network is purpose-built for real-world financial applications. It’s fast, cost-effective, and has a strong presence in underbanked regions. This makes it the perfect fit for our mission of delivering seamless, stablecoin-powered payments to anyone, anywhere.
“Wirex Pay represents exactly the kind of project we aim to support through the Stellar Community Fund,” said Anke Liu, Ecosystem Growth Lead at the Stellar Development Foundation. “We’re excited to see Wirex Pay deepen its involvement with Stellar and introduce new capabilities to the network.”
What This Means for Users
By integrating with Stellar, Wirex Pay will bring all its flagship products directly to the Stellar ecosystem:
Borderless current accounts – Spend your stablecoins anywhere Visa is accepted (that’s over 80 million merchants globally).
Non-custodial business banking – Open corporate accounts, automate payroll, earn stablecoin yield, and access in-depth reporting tools — all without sacrificing decentralization.
Web3 Banking-as-a-Service – Power your Stellar-based dApp or DEX with your own branded Visa card and fiat on/off-ramp, thanks to our native infrastructure.
Whether you're a crypto-savvy individual, a startup building on Stellar, or a business looking for reliable Web3 financial tools, Wirex Pay has something for you.
What’s Next?
With development already underway, the Stellar-native integration of Wirex Pay is expected to go live in the coming months. We’re actively engaging with the Stellar community and builders to ensure the tools we launch are tailor-made for the ecosystem’s needs.
“Our expansion to Stellar is a powerful step forward,” said Daniel Rowlands, General Manager at Wirex Pay. “It validates our vision for next-gen payments and accelerates our delivery of faster, more affordable, and more inclusive financial solutions.”
Powering the Future of Payments — Together
This partnership brings us closer to our broader goal: to democratise access to financial services through blockchain. With Stellar’s reach and infrastructure, we can serve even more communities, especially in areas where traditional banking falls short.
We can’t wait to show you what’s coming. Stay tuned.
