Visa combines settlement data with onchain lending
WHAT HAPPENED
The Paypers reports that Visa is combining customer-authorized VisaNet settlement data with onchain transaction records so lenders can assess and finance working-capital needs for stablecoin-linked card programs. Visa identifies Credit Coop as an early implementation: smart contracts automate funding, collateral management and repayment for settlement obligations. Visa says participating facilities have financed more than USD 2.5 billion of cumulative settlement volume since 2023 with zero defaults.

## Source summary
The Paypers reports that Visa is combining customer-authorized VisaNet settlement data with onchain transaction records so lenders can assess and finance working-capital needs for stablecoin-linked card programs. Visa identifies Credit Coop as an early implementation: smart contracts automate funding, collateral management and repayment for settlement obligations. Visa says participating facilities have financed more than USD 2.5 billion of cumulative settlement volume since 2023 with zero defaults.
## Why it matters
The model addresses a payment-specific financing gap between card-network settlement and later cardholder collection, using payment data in underwriting and smart contracts in servicing. The USD 2.5 billion and zero-default figures are Visa and Credit Coop program claims, not an independently audited market total. Visa does not disclose every borrower, lender, facility size, interest rate, jurisdiction or loss methodology, and the announcement does not establish that this approach is generally available to all card programs.
## Key numbers
- **Cumulative settlement volume financed since 2023:** more than USD 2.5 billion (Visa/Credit Coop claim)
- **Defaults reported across participating facilities:** zero (Visa/Credit Coop claim)
- **Stablecoin-linked card programs reported live:** more than 160
