FAQ
What is card issuing?
For stablecoin products, card issuing turns a wallet balance into something a user can spend in normal card environments.
Card issuing is the process of creating and operating payment cards for customers or employees. It includes card creation, funding, authorization, fraud controls, disputes, spending rules, and cardholder support.
What is a stablecoin-backed card?
A stablecoin-backed card lets users spend stablecoin balances through a card program.
The cardholder pays like they would with a traditional card. The program funds spend from a custodial wallet, noncustodial wallet, or Stripe financial account.
The card experience stays familiar while settlement and funding happen behind the product.
Can users spend directly from a crypto wallet?
Yes, when the program uses a supported noncustodial wallet model. Bridge smart contracts can enable direct spend from user-controlled balances without requiring the cardholder to top up a separate card balance first.
Bridge also supports custodial wallet models for teams that want an out-of-the-box solution to hold balances linked to a card program.
How does Bridge support stablecoin card issuing?
Bridge and Stripe provide the issuing infrastructure, program management, fraud tooling, dispute tools, and support needed to operate the program, with greater than 99.995% uptime. You don't have to build issuing infrastructure from scratch. Bridge and Stripe bring 350 million cards of experience to your program, so you can launch and move on, often in as little as a few weeks across multiple markets.
Through Bridge, your business can launch a consumer or commercial card program, connect funding sources, configure program rules, and issue virtual or physical cards.
Where can Bridge-powered cards be used?
Bridge-powered cards can be used at merchants in 150+ countries. Issuance is currently available in major markets across Africa, Latin America, and the US, with EU and APAC availability planned for 2026. When a user spends in the country where they completed KYC, Bridge routes through a localized BIN, avoiding FX markups and the typical ~1% cross-border fee.
How can a stablecoin card program earn revenue?
Card programs earn interchange fees on every transaction, and Bridge lets programs keep 100% of them. Platforms can also add custom transaction fees deducted from wallet balances with each card transaction.
If the card is tied to a custom stablecoin launched through Bridge Open Issuance, the program may also earn rewards on reserves, depending on the structure. With a custom stablecoin like xUSD, users can onramp, hold, spend on-card, and offramp under a single KYC, keeping the full journey (and its economics) on your program.
What controls are available for a Bridge card program?
Bridge and Stripe provide access to 3DS, advanced ML fraud models trained on stablecoin data, enriched transaction data, spending limits, dispute management, and cardholder support in 40+ languages. These controls shape approval rates, losses, support load, and the cardholder experience.
Bridge card programs can serve consumers or businesses, including commercial cards that let authorized employees use a shared digital wallet.
