Card issuers and fintechs

Card programs traditionally rely on prefunded accounts at sponsor banks, with settlement windows tied to banking hours. Stablecoin settlement keeps card programs funded around the clock: fintechs fund via USDC or USDT with automatic conversion to fiat at point of settlement.
  • 24/7 settlement funding independent of banking hours
  • Stablecoin-to-fiat auto-conversion on deposit
  • White-label on/off-ramps and embedded wallets under the issuer’s brand
  • Single integration for card issuing, acquiring, and cross-border

Payment networks and processors

Large payment networks manage settlement across issuers, acquirers, and cardholders through multi-day cycles tied to correspondent banking rails. Stablecoin settlement replaces that model with real-time finality: fiat enters via ACH, Wire, or RTP, and everything downstream (conversion, onchain settlement, confirmation) is handled through a single API.
  • Real-time deposit and conversion replaces prefunded balance requirements
  • Acquirer payouts settle to wallet with ~2 second finality
  • Webhook confirmations with transaction hash and full reconciliation
  • Extensible to cross-border, money movement, and new stablecoin-native products

Cross-border and remittance

International money transfer through correspondent banking is expensive and slow. Stablecoin rails on Polygon cut cost and time to near zero, reaching 130+ countries via card, bank, mobile money, and cash pickup networks.
  • End-to-end flow: fiat in, stablecoin on Polygon, local currency out
  • Local offramp support including cash disbursement and mobile wallet payout
  • No crypto knowledge required from end users
  • Full BSA/OFAC compliance and KYC/AML coverage at every step

Banks and financial institutions

Banks entering the stablecoin space face a common constraint: rebuilding core infrastructure is not viable. Polygon’s payment infrastructure layers on top of existing treasury operations without requiring changes to upstream systems.
  • Virtual USD accounts with per-customer ACH and routing numbers at an OCC federally-chartered bank
  • Automatic USD to USDC conversion (and reverse) under 37 US Money Transmitter Licenses
  • Real-time confirmations with transaction hash and full reconciliation
  • Path to intraday settlement, treasury management, and onchain credit

Enterprises and marketplaces

Enterprises, marketplaces, and developer platforms use the payment infrastructure to automate global payouts, manage onchain treasury positions, and build programmable money flows into products.
  • Programmable, auditable payment flows with full API and webhook coverage
  • Custodial and non-custodial wallet models
  • Stablecoin-native products without requiring end users to hold or manage crypto
  • Embedded compliance: KYC, AML, and transaction monitoring built in
