Highnote and BVNK Partner for 24/7 Stablecoin Card Program Funding
On June 18, 2025, Highnote, a modern card issuing and processing platform, announced a partnership with BVNK, a stablecoin payments infrastructure provider, to enable 24/7 card program funding using stablecoins. The integration allows card program managers to fund their programs at any time, eliminating the constraints of traditional banking hours and settlement windows. BVNK provides the stablecoin rails that facilitate real-time fund availability, while Highnote contributes its card issuing and processing platform.
The partnership is aimed at fintechs and businesses running card programs that require continuous liquidity management. This collaboration represents a notable convergence of crypto-native payment infrastructure with embedded finance card issuing capabilities. Financial terms were not disclosed.
The solution addresses a practical pain point for card program operators who previously had to manage funding gaps during weekends and bank holidays.
- Signals growing adoption of stablecoin infrastructure in mainstream embedded finance operations beyond speculative crypto use cases
- Could pressure traditional BaaS funding mechanisms to offer faster settlement or risk losing program managers to crypto-native alternatives
