Quick Take

• Users sign in, complete automated KYC, receive a smart contract for collateral, and get a virtual Visa card issued — all in one seamless flow.
  

• Deposit stablecoins to unlock spending power; the card is backed 1:1 by collateral with a single unified balance, eliminating the need for fiat conversion.
  

• Crossmint + Rain handles BIN sponsorship, issuing bank relationships, KYC/AML, and card network licensing, so teams can ship products in days instead of months.
  

Crossmint, a leading provider of enterprise-grade stablecoin and wallet infrastructure, has announced full support for stablecoin-backed virtual Visa credit cards powered by Rain. The integration allows fintechs, crypto platforms, and application builders to issue compliant virtual cards to users with just one integration, dramatically reducing time-to-market.

Traditionally, launching a card program requires extensive groundwork including securing BIN sponsorship, partnering with an issuing bank, implementing robust KYC/AML processes, and obtaining card network licensing — often taking months before writing a single line of product code. With Crossmint and Rain, all of that is abstracted away, enabling teams to focus on building great user experiences.

How the Integration Works

The user journey is designed for simplicity and speed:

• Sign in to the application

Wallet is automatically created

KYC is submitted and approved

A smart contract is deployed to hold collateral

A virtual Visa card is issued instantly

Users deposit stablecoins, which directly back the card’s spending power

This creates a single balance where stablecoin collateral seamlessly powers real-world spending at any Visa-accepting merchant, while keeping assets on-chain and under user control.

The solution is live today and is particularly targeted at fintech and crypto products looking to bridge digital assets with everyday payments.

Bridging Crypto and Traditional Finance

Rain provides enterprise-grade stablecoin-powered card issuance infrastructure, enabling direct settlement from stablecoin balances without forced conversion to fiat. Crossmint complements this with its smart wallet and stablecoin orchestration tools, creating an end-to-end stack that is both compliant and developer-friendly.

This partnership builds on the growing trend of stablecoin-powered payments, allowing applications to offer credit-card-like experiences while leveraging the efficiency, transparency, and global reach of stablecoins.
