S&P 500 firm Corpay adds 24/7 stablecoin settlement for 800,000 clients

S&P 500 payments business Corpay has today announced it is integrating stablecoin wallets and settlement into its global platform. This will give its +800,000 business clients payment rails that are open 24 hours a day, seven days a week, excluding bank holidays and weekend cutoffs.

The integration comes via a partnership with BVNK, a stablecoin infrastructure provider. Corpay customers will be able to keep stablecoin balances alongside their fiat currencies. They’ll be able to send, receive, store and convert stablecoins, all without ever leaving the Corpay interface, according to the release.

Corpay (NYSE: CPAY) processes +$12 billion in corporate payments each month. It also handles ~$26 billion in foreign exchange volume across over 145 currencies. The Canadian company plans to wire stablecoin rails into its own treasury operations too. This will cut its dependence on pre-funded accounts and speed up fund movement across its global network.

“At our scale, the ability to move liquidity quickly and reliably is critical,” said Mark Frey, Group President of Corpay Cross-Border Solutions. “Stablecoins introduce a 24/7 settlement capability that strengthens our existing infrastructure. BVNK provides the technology and compliance framework we need to deliver this securely and at scale.”

Jesse Hemson-Struthers, BVNK’s CEO, said Corpay’s reach makes the company a strong partner for pushing stablecoin payments into broader corporate adoption. He added, “Together, we’re enabling faster, more efficient ways for businesses to move and manage money across borders.”

BVNK attracts Mastercard, Visa, and Citi

Mastercard announced plans to acquire the company in a deal that could reach $1.8 billion by the time it closes at the end of 2026. Mastercard CEO Michael Miebach cited BVNK’s network of stablecoin stakeholders, liquidity providers, and hard-to-get licenses as the primary reasons for the purchase. He discussed the acquisition during the company’s Q1 2026 earnings call.

Visa Ventures, the investment arm of Visa, has invested in BVNK. Citigroup started backing BVNK in October 2025, according to Cryptopolitan. Arvind Purushotham, head of Citi Ventures, said that stablecoins are becoming more popular as a way to settle on-chain and crypto deals. He called out BVNK’s enterprise-grade infrastructure as a draw.

BVNK co-founder Chris Harmse said that the demand for stablecoin infrastructure has surged. The U.S. represents the company’s fastest-growing market. He pointed to the passage of the GENIUS Act as a catalyst for institutional confidence.

Stablecoins expand corporate payments integration

The Corpay deal lands as stablecoins continue to expand beyond crypto native use cases.

Dollar pegged stablecoin supply has reached $301 billion, according to data from CoinGecko. Tether’s USDT accounts for $189.6 billion of that total. Circle’s USDC sits at ~$77 billion.

Visa recorded a $7 billion annual run rate in stablecoin settlement volume during its most recent earnings call. That figure jumped +50% quarter over quarter. The card network now has +160 stablecoin card programs running globally with partners including Rain, Reap, and Bridge.

Citi raised its stablecoin market forecast in September. The bank projected the sector could hit $4 trillion by 2030 under a bullish scenario, up from earlier estimates of $1.6 trillion and $3.7 trillion, per Cryptopolitan.
