Mercuryo aims to launch a branded crypto debit card in collaboration with Mastercard. We aim to connect this card to USDC and XLM, enabling users to spend their crypto balance globally.
We will launch the first crypto debit card, fully api based, fully LOBSTR branded. This card will be seamlessly integrated into the wallets UX, user can top it up with USDC and XLM.
Once Mercuryo deployed the infrastructure, a separate card terminal with Mastercard for Stellar, any project will be able to launch their own custom card program for users*
Mercuryo to date has the best product on the market, one of the few that gives wallets a neo bank like look an feel for their debit card program.
