Wirex BaaS provides Utorg’s consumer wallet ecosystem with non-custodial card infrastructure, IBAN banking rails and global payment acceptance going live in weeks, not months.
Wirex, a full-stack crypto card issuer and BaaS (banking-as-a-service) provider, today announced a strategic partnership with Utorg, a global fintech company building consumer and business infrastructure for the stablecoin economy, working with EU-regulated fintech companies behind Utorg’s rapidly growing onchain-financial application serving more than two million users across over 190 countries.
Through Wirex BaaS, Utorg will embed fully compliant card issuance and banking infrastructure directly into its consumer platform giving users the ability to hold assets in self-custodial wallets and spend their balances at merchants worldwide through a Wirex-powered payment card.
The move advances Utorg’s vision of making digital assets practical for everyday use by combining self-custody, global payments and local financial rails into a single consumer experience.
Through a single API integration, Utorg gains access to Wirex’s complete BaaS stack.
Utorg has built a global platform that connects local payment systems with the rapidly expanding stablecoin economy.
Through its infrastructure and consumer-facing products, the company enables users to seamlessly move between fiat and digital assets while maintaining full control over their funds.

With Wirex BaaS, Utorg now extends this ecosystem further enabling users to spend their digital assets globally across more than 80 million merchants in over 130 countries.
Daniel Rowlands, general manager of onchain finance at Wirex, said,
“Our BaaS platform exists so that builders like Utorg can focus on their product instead of piecing together payment infrastructure from scratch.
“Utorg has built something exceptional a frictionless on-ramp experience loved by hundreds of thousands of users globally.
“With Wirex BaaS, they now have the card and banking rails to complete that journey from purchase to spend. That’s what full-stack BaaS makes possible.”
