DCS DeCard expands Visa deal for stablecoin cards

DCS DeCard, the card and payments infrastructure platform operated by DCS Group, has broadened its collaboration with Visa to support the international rollout of its consumer and commercial stablecoin-linked cards. The expansion takes DCS DeCard’s stablecoin-linked card issuing beyond Asia Pacific into Europe, the Middle East, Africa, and Latin America, covering more than 70 markets in total.

According to the announcement, the expanded agreement covers two parts of DCS DeCard’s business. The first is its Cards-as-a-Service (CaaS) offering, and the second is DeCard Business Account, its corporate card and spend management platform, which now supports stablecoin-enabled corporate payments.

Card issuing infrastructure for partners

Through its CaaS model, DCS DeCard enables fintechs, digital asset platforms, and other businesses to launch branded stablecoin-linked card programmes. The company supports partners across programme development, issuance, transaction processing, and ongoing operations. Partners can therefore introduce payment products without building their own issuing infrastructure.

The platform draws on DCS Group’s more than 50 years of activity in payments, combining card issuing experience with the infrastructure that stablecoin-linked products require. Linking these programmes to Visa’s network gives partners access to card acceptance across the markets included in the expansion.
