Mastercard and Thunes Revolutionize Stablecoin Payouts
A groundbreaking partnership is set to transform the way we access and use stablecoins. Mastercard, a global payments giant, and Thunes, the innovative ‘Smart Superhighway’ for international money transfers, are joining forces to bring stablecoin payouts to the forefront of mainstream finance.
But here’s where it gets exciting: this collaboration aims to empower banks, payment providers, and everyday users with unprecedented flexibility and choice in the world of digital currencies. Announced at the Singapore Fintech Festival, the partnership will leverage Mastercard Move’s capabilities and Thunes’ Direct Global Network to enable near real-time payouts to stablecoin wallets.
The benefits are vast:
- Speed and Accessibility: Users can enjoy lightning-fast transfers to stablecoin wallets, available 24/7.
- Expanded Options: Banks and payment providers can offer payouts to stablecoin wallets, alongside traditional methods like accounts, cards, and cash, opening up new avenues for financial services.
- Financial Inclusion: By mitigating currency volatility and reducing barriers, this partnership aims to promote financial inclusion, especially in regions with limited access to traditional banking.
“This collaboration is a testament to the growing importance of digital currencies in global finance,” said Pratik Khowala, Mastercard’s Global Head of Transfer Solutions. “We’re not just facilitating transactions; we’re empowering individuals and businesses with more control over their financial lives.“
Chloe Mayenobe, President and COO of Thunes, added, “By integrating our Direct Global Network and Pay-to-Stablecoin-Wallets solution with Mastercard Move, we’re creating a seamless and inclusive payment ecosystem.“
This partnership is a significant milestone, validating the increasing demand for stablecoin payments and their real-world applications. Thunes’ Pay-to-Stablecoin-Wallets solution, now part of Mastercard Move’s network, caters to the growing need for instant, stable digital currency payouts worldwide.
