Mastercard and BVNK have launched Mastercard Global Money Platform, which integrates fiat currencies and stablecoins into the same system through a single API. Banks, fintech companies, and enterprises can use this to create their own branded accounts and payment products without having to connect with different service providers at each stage of fund transfer.
Mastercard stated in a press release that this release represents the first major integration of the capabilities of the two companies since Mastercard acquired BVNK in August 2026. This product combines the payment network infrastructure of Mastercard with the stablecoin technology of BVNK.
Mastercard Global Money Platform How to integrate these services
Mastercard Global Money Platform Allows enterprises to embed accounts and payment functions into their own products and offer them under their own brands. Enterprises can also directly use this infrastructure for fund management, payment, and settlement.
This modular approach allows customers to select the functions they need according to their requirements and to continue adding more functions as new capabilities are launched. The company states that this reduces the need to connect with separate service providers for different stages of the payment process.
The platform is currently open through BVNK. Its service range includes holding funds, exchanging funds, sending and receiving payments, as well as consumption and earnings functions.
Multi-currency accounts, cards, and local bank withdrawals
The core accounts on the platform can hold both fiat currency and stablecoins simultaneously, and exchanges are completed through the same API. Their payment capabilities include real-time exchanges, cards linked to stablecoins, as well as local bank withdrawals.
Enterprises can provide accounts under their own brands.
Fintech companies and technology platforms can integrate multi-currency accounts, allowing customers to hold income, exchange balances, and make payments in one place. The accounts also support configurable rewards and other account features.
At the same time, banks, fintech companies, and enterprises can also use the same infrastructure to manage their own financial operations, rather than just providing services to customers.
Stablecoin balances can be integrated into traditional payments.
The integration with Mastercard Move allows users to use their stablecoin balances to fund payments, while the recipients can directly receive local currency in their bank accounts. This service connects the platform to the broader capital flow capabilities of Mastercard.
Customers can also spend their stablecoin balances through a global card acceptance network that covers hundreds of millions of merchant locations. Card issuance services are available in over 130 countries and regions.
Early adopters and network expansion plans
Nuvei and Marqeta are among the first companies to plan to integrate with this platform, in addition to Ontop, Beem, and Almond FinTech. According to the press release, this service provides customers with more options for receiving, managing, and transferring funds between different markets.
The Chairman and CEO, Phil Fayer, stated that collaborating with these two companies will help bring stablecoin capabilities to more enterprises and expand their options in terms of fund management and transfer.
According to the press release, Mastercard Move covers over 17 billion terminals. It is expected that by 2027, its coverage will expand to more than 40 currencies in over 200 countries and regions.
Strategy surrounding multiple forms of currency
This platform is part of Mastercard's strategy to connect traditional currencies with digital currencies, rather than managing them through separate systems. Raj Dhamodharan, the executive vice president in charge of blockchain and digital assets, describes interoperability as the core of this approach.
"We believe that the future of commerce will be built on the interoperability between various forms of currency," he stated in a press release.
Dhamodharan also links this release to the company's multi-currency strategy as well as the next generation of programmable commerce. The platform toolkit covers sending, receiving, exchanging, storing, consuming, and generating revenue.
