How a Stablecoin-Native Neobank Enabled Real-Time Fiat Spending and Local Payouts Across 20+ Markets with Tazapay

Overview

‍

A stablecoin-native neobank enables users to hold, spend, and move digital dollars globally through a Visa-backed card accepted at 150M+ merchants in 170+ countries. As the platform scaled, it needed a single infrastructure layer to power both sides of the payment loop collecting fiat from users and settling in local currency to merchants without fragmenting across multiple providers.

The Challenge

‍

Before partnering with Tazapay, the platform faced several constraints in scaling stablecoin-powered card spending:

• No unified fiat collection infrastructure.
  Users wanting to top up their wallets via local payment methods had no seamless on-ramp fiat collected via APMs, cards, or virtual accounts could not be reliably converted to stablecoins at scale.

• Slow and fragmented stablecoin off-ramp.
  Converting stablecoin balances to fiat at the moment of card spend required multiple intermediaries, creating settlement delays and FX exposure on every transaction.

• No local fiat payout network.
  Settling merchants in local currency across markets like India, UAE, Korea, and Europe meant managing separate rails, liquidity pools, and compliance relationships per corridor.

• Treasury complexity at scale.
  The platform's treasury entity lacked a centralised layer for multi-currency liquidity management, automated conversions, and reconciliation leaving teams dependent on manual workflows.

The Solution

‍

Tazapay became the platform's end-to-end payment infrastructure, covering both on-ramp and off-ramp:

• Fiat On-Ramp via APMs, Cards & Virtual Accounts.
  ‍Tazapay enabled users to fund their wallets using local payment methods and cards. Collected fiat is converted to USDC/USDT and credited to the platform's treasury removing friction for non-crypto-native users.

• Real-Time Stablecoin → Fiat Conversion.
  ‍At the moment of card spend, Tazapay converts stablecoin balances to fiat instantly ensuring every transaction is settled without delay or manual intervention.

• Local Rail Payouts Across 20+ Markets
  Merchants and vendors are settled in local currency via domestic rails across Southeast Asia, Middle East, Europe, and Africa including INR, AED, KRW, EUR, GBP, PHP, THB, IDR, and NGN with no local entity required.

• Unified Treasury & Reconciliation.
  A single API and dashboard gives the platform full visibility across collections, conversions, and payouts replacing fragmented providers and eliminating manual reconciliation.
