Visa, Mesh partner to enable crypto spending at 175M merchant locations
Mesh will connect crypto and stablecoin wallets to Visa’s global payment network, allowing users to spend digital assets without a separate card.
Visa and crypto payments network Mesh have partnered to allow consumers to spend cryptocurrency and stablecoin balances directly from digital wallets at merchants across Visa’s global payment network.
The integration will allow users of participating wallets to pay in stores or online without transferring funds to a bank account or obtaining a separate crypto card, according to a Monday announcement from Mesh. Merchants will receive payments through Visa’s existing network without changing their checkout systems.
Visa’s network covers more than 175 million merchant locations across over 200 countries and territories. Mesh said participating wallets, supported devices and launch dates will be announced as rollout plans are finalized.
