Visa is moving stablecoin funding from trials into commercial use, allowing eligible businesses to fund international payouts with USDC around the clock.
The October 15 launch begins through payments infrastructure provider Inyo Global, the first partner to bring the capability into production, according to Visa’s announcement.
Funding payments outside banking hours
Businesses sending money internationally often need to place funds in accounts before payments can proceed. Traditional banking schedules can limit when they replenish those balances.
The new service lets eligible Inyo customers use USDC, a dollar-backed stablecoin, to prefund Visa Direct cross-border payouts in near real time, including outside normal banking hours.
In practical terms, it gives payment providers another way to make funds available when customers need to send money.
Commercial rollout starts with Inyo
Inyo serves money transmitters, fintech companies, banks and other payment businesses. Its existing platform supports payouts across more than 180 countries through Visa Direct.
That network reach does not mean the new USDC funding option is immediately available in every country. Access depends on eligibility and applicable requirements.
The announcement marks a commercial deployment following Visa’s earlier pilots, rather than a universal consumer launch.

Visa’s rollout shows stablecoins becoming part of payment infrastructure. The next test is whether businesses adopt the service at scale and achieve measurable improvements in funding speed and liquidity management.
