## Source summary
A Wirex and Tempo announcement republished by Finextra says Wirex has added Tempo as a live optional settlement layer for enterprise stablecoin-card programs. Wirex partners can combine its licensed card-issuing, wallet and compliance stack with Tempo settlement; Tempo says its network offers sub-second finality, predictable sub-cent fees, optional transaction privacy and structured reconciliation data.

It is vendor-supplied evidence, however: no named enterprise customer, card program, live transaction count, settlement volume, fee comparison or independent latency test on Tempo is disclosed. Wirex's annualized onchain-volume milestones and Tempo's performance claims are company statements, not audited outcomes for this integration.
