Meru Launches its Visa Card for All of Latin America: No Fees and Rechargeable in Crypto or Local Currency

Issued in the United States and denominated in US dollars (USD), the Meru card is designed to offer maximum flexibility to the user

Meru officially announced the launch of its Visa card in US dollars, an innovative financial solution designed for users throughout Latin America. Available in physical and virtual formats, this card allows users to make purchases, pay for digital services, travel, and withdraw cash, all from an accessible, modern, and decentralized platform.

Issued in the United States and denominated in US dollars (USD), the Meru card is designed to offer maximum flexibility to the user. It is compatible with Apple Pay and Google Pay, allowing it to be easily integrated into your cell phone and used at any merchant that accepts contactless payments. With this functionality, users can pay securely and quickly at physical stores around the world, directly from their mobile device.

One of the most notable features of this card is the variety of reload methods. Users can load it using stable cryptocurrencies such as USDC and USDT, through networks such as Stellar, Polygon, Tron, and Base.

It can also be reloaded using local payment methods available in several countries in the region, such as Argentina, Brazil, Chile, Peru, Mexico, Bolivia, Colombia, and others. In addition, it can be loaded directly from the Binance exchange, making it easy to adopt for both those already familiar with the cryptocurrency ecosystem and those who use traditional means.

This card is designed to adapt to multiple uses. It is ideal for making purchases in physical stores anywhere in the world, as well as for paying for digital services such as Netflix, Amazon, Spotify, Uber, Shein, Airbnb, or YouTube Premium.

It also represents an efficient and economical solution for those traveling abroad, as it allows access to cash at any ATM that accepts Visa, without the restrictions or high costs typical of cards issued by traditional banks.

In a context where many financial institutions still impose high fees, Meru's Visa card positions itself as a competitive alternative thanks to its zero commission policy for both domestic and international purchases. This approach seeks to break down barriers and offer a more transparent and fair financial experience for all users in the region.

The launch of this card is in line with Meru's broader proposal, which combines technology, decentralization, and financial freedom. The platform already offers virtual accounts in the United States and Europe, tools for self-custodied savings in USDC, bitcoin investment, and cash withdrawals via MoneyGram in more than 200 countries. All this under a model where the user retains full control of their money, without the need for intermediaries.

At Meru, the vision is clear: to build a new financial model where each person can have the equivalent of their own personal bank. With this card, the company is taking a firm step toward that goal, offering a powerful, secure tool designed for the reality of millions of Latin Americans who seek greater freedom and autonomy over their finances.
