Wirex Adds Tempo For Stablecoin Card Settlement
Wirex has added Tempo to its platform, giving fintech partners of the stablecoin infrastructure provider a new way to settle enterprise card programs, the company announced on September 10. Fintechs issuing cards through Wirex can now settle transactions on Tempo‘s stablecoin-native network. The live integration lets card issuers select Tempo, a purpose-built blockchain for stablecoin payments incubated by Stripe, as a preferred settlement layer, according to Wirex’s announcement. A Faster, Private Settlement Rail Wirex already offers a single integration for regulated card issuance, wallets, compliance, and stablecoin settlement, and it issues cards under its own licences as a principal member of Visa and Mastercard. Tempo adds a network designed specifically for stablecoin payments: transactions finalize in under a second with dedicated capacity and predictable sub-cent fees, while Tempo Zones keep balances and transactions private with selective disclosure for audit and compliance. Network fees are paid in stablecoins instead of a separate gas token, and structured transaction data keeps funds and settlement information on the same rail for simpler reconciliation. Why Wirex Chose Tempo Wirex said Tempo offers more than a settlement network. Tempo‘s incubation by Stripe brings payments expertise, and its Stablecoin Advisory and forward-deployed engineers work directly with customers to pick infrastructure partners
