The partnership with Visa will provide Tala with the ability to issue Visa cards linked to the wallet. This will also enable Tala’s customers to spend against their USDC balance at any merchants worldwide that accept Visa.

Tala has given over $2 billion in credit to more than 6 million customers across different countries. I.e Mexico, the Philippines, Kenya and India.
