Pulsar Partners with Wirex to Launch on Arc Testnet

Wirex has announced a partnership with Pulsar, a stablecoin-native money app offering stablecoin-backed multi-currency accounts, named account details and a card users can spend anywhere. Accounts are available in euros and dollars, with further currencies planned as local stablecoins reach the market. Pulsar opens early access to its app, with cards issued through Wirex making its fintech stack spendable in 110+ countries.

Pulsar is building its product on Arc, an open blockchain network engineered by Circle and built for the world's financial markets, real-time money movement and agentic economic activity and integrates with the Wriex BaaS stack, who provide the card and account layer that turns an onchain balance into real-world spending. For early access users, that means a card accepted in 110+ countries at 80M+ merchants, spending straight from a Pulsar account.

Pulsar integrates the Wirex BaaS stack for the pieces that connect its app to the payments network: a co-branded card, named account details, integrated ramps and instant push-to-card. Around that, Pulsar has built its own stack: stablecoin-backed multi-currency accounts that will settled on Arc, the stablecoin-native Layer-1 blockchain engineered by Circle, in-app swaps routed through LI.FI, and Pulsar Earn, announced separately, built on Morpho and vaults curated by Steakhouse Financial. The Wirex layer is what makes all of it spendable.

What Does the Pulsar and Wirex Integration Consist of?

Pulsar integrates the Wirex BaaS stack through a single integration for:

• Co-branded card: A Pulsar-branded card, issued by Wirex, accepted in 110+ countries at 80M+ merchants, with Apple Pay and Google Pay.

• Named account details: EUR IBAN and USD ACH details in the user's own name, for sending and receiving fiat transfers, with SEPA Instant and Faster Payments.

• Integrated on and off-ramps: 1:1 conversion between fiat and stablecoins, with no FX markup on supported currencies, built natively into the Pulsar app.

• Instant push-to-card: Real-time payouts to the card, delivering instant access inside the Pulsar app.

“Pulsar is exactly the kind of pProduct team our BaaS stack is built for. They are bringing a card, named accounts and ramps to market through a single integration, and doing it early. We are glad to power the card and account layer behind their stablecoin-native app”, said Daniel Rowlands, General Manager of Wirex.

Alex Radu, CEO, Pulsar Money, continued: “Pulsar is building the ultimate fintech stack, one that puts tier-1 web3 partners and traditional finance in the same account. Wirex is what makes it spendable. Their issuing and acceptance network takes everything we build and puts it in the hands of users in 110+ countries.”

From today, users can apply for early access to start exploring the product and spend with a Wirex-issued card that settles on Arc’s' testnet.
