In a bold move set to transform the landscape of digital payments in the Asia-Pacific region, dtcpay, a leading provider of digital payment solutions, has announced its partnership with Visa. This collaboration promises to bridge the gap between traditional finance and the rapidly expanding world of digital currencies, allowing ultra-high-net-worth (UHNW) individuals and businesses to engage in seamless, secure transactions globally. The soft launch of the dtcpay Visa Infinite Card marks the first step in this venture, offering an exciting new avenue for users to convert digital currencies into fiat and use them across Visa’s extensive network.
A Revolution in Digital Payments
The partnership between dtcpay and Visa taps into a growing demand for more flexible and inclusive payment options, especially for users keen on incorporating digital currencies into their everyday financial lives. This collaboration will allow dtcpay’s customers to convert digital currencies—such as stablecoins—into fiat at competitive, real-time rates. The converted funds will be loaded onto the dtcpay Visa Infinite card, offering users the ability to make transactions seamlessly at over 130 million merchants in more than 200 countries and territories.
Speaking about the collaboration, Alice Liu, CEO and Co-Founder of dtcpay, said, “Our mission at dtcpay is to bridge the gap between digital payments and traditional finance. This partnership with Visa will drive greater mainstream acceptance of digital currencies, enabling businesses and individuals to access a new realm of digital finance.” This partnership comes at a time when digital payments are growing exponentially, particularly in Southeast Asia, which is expected to see its digital economy balloon to USD 1 trillion by 2030.
The dtcpay Visa Infinite Card is the first of many initiatives planned under the partnership. Designed for UHNW individuals, the card allows users to convert their digital currencies instantly into fiat and use it for everyday transactions. This makes digital currencies more accessible and relevant to both businesses and individuals. The card will be available for public registration in Q4 2024, opening up a new world of opportunities for consumers who want to integrate digital currencies into their financial portfolios.
Visa’s Singapore Country Manager, Adeline Kim, highlighted the potential impact of this collaboration: “By combining Visa’s global reach with dtcpay’s Web3 expertise, we are empowering consumers and businesses to convert digital currencies into fiat and make payments seamlessly. Our partnership with dtcpay underscores our commitment to driving innovation and offering customers greater choice, security, and convenience.”
With digital currencies gaining traction across the Asia-Pacific region, this partnership is well-positioned to drive the future of payments. As more people and businesses adopt these technologies, the payment landscape is set to evolve, allowing for smoother, more inclusive transactions.
Celebrating Innovation at TOKEN2049
To commemorate the launch of this groundbreaking partnership, dtcpay and Visa will host an exclusive event, ‘The Voyager: Tomorrow’s Payments Today,’ in conjunction with TOKEN2049 and dtcpay’s 5th anniversary. This celebratory event, to be held at Lantern, Singapore, on 18th September, promises to offer participants a hands-on understanding of the new digital currency ecosystem.
Set in a gamified environment, attendees will experience first-hand how token economics work, with opportunities to win and exchange tokens for merchandise.

The dtcpay and Visa partnership represents a significant step in making digital currencies more widely accepted. By leveraging Visa’s global reach, this partnership allows consumers and businesses across the globe to transact using digital currencies like never before. The ability to convert these currencies into fiat and use them at any merchant that accepts Visa ensures that digital currencies become part of the mainstream financial system.
Asia-Pacific, known for being at the cutting edge of digital payments innovation, is the perfect backdrop for this collaboration. The region’s push towards a digital economy, along with the increasing use of cryptocurrencies, means that Visa and dtcpay’s partnership is not just timely but essential for the future of payments. It is poised to set the stage for further developments, enabling consumers and businesses alike to thrive in this digital-first world.
As dtcpay continues to lead the way in integrating digital currencies with traditional financial systems, this partnership with Visa is only the beginning.
