Wirex enables its partners to use Tempo as a settlement layer for enterprise stablecoin card programs.
Wirex, the global stablecoin infrastructure provider and a principal member of Visa and Mastercard, has added Tempo to its platform. The live integration enables Wirex partners to select Tempo as a preferred settlement layer for enterprise stablecoin card programs.
Stablecoin card infrastructure built for scale
Wirex gives fintechs and digital platforms a single integration for regulated card issuance, wallets, compliance, and stablecoin settlement.
Wirex issues cards under its own licences as a principal member of Visa and Mastercard. Its infrastructure reached $1 billion in annualized onchain volume just 131 days after launch, and doubled that volume 110 days later, making it one of the fastest-scaling stablecoin card platforms in the industry.
Why Wirex chose Tempo
Wirex selected Tempo because it offers more than a settlement network, bringing extensive payments expertise thanks to its incubation by Stripe. Together, Wirex and Tempo can give enterprises a supported path from product design to a live stablecoin card program using Tempo’s Stablecoin Advisory.
Wirex provides the regulated card stack. Tempo’s Stablecoin Advisory and forward-deployed engineers work directly with customers to:
- Design the card and settlement flow
- Select and integrate the right infrastructure partners
- Move from architecture to prototype and production
This approach is informed by Tempo’s work with enterprises, including DoorDash, Deel, Klarna, Felix, and ARQ.
Customers also benefit from a network built specifically for stablecoin payments. Tempo provides Wirex partners with the following features:
- Fast, predictable settlement. Transactions finalize in under a second, with dedicated payment capacity and predictable sub-cent fees.
- Private payments. Tempo Zones keep balances and transactions private while supporting selective disclosure for audit and compliance.
- Stablecoin-native operations. Network fees are paid in stablecoins, eliminating the need to hold a separate gas token.
- Simpler reconciliation. Structured transaction data keeps funds and settlement information on the same rail.
Together, Wirex’s regulated infrastructure and Tempo’s network and implementation support help enterprises bring stablecoin-backed card programs to market faster.
“It’s great to offer Tempo as a key settlement layer for enterprise stablecoin card programs integrating with Wirex’s infrastructure.

— Daniel Rowlands, General Manager, Wirex
