MoneyGram USDC app and card in Colombia
MoneyGram's app in Colombia lets customers receive, hold and send US dollars as USDC on Stellar in self-custody wallets run on Crossmint infrastructure, and cash out at MoneyGram locations. Announced in September 2025 with a waitlist, it added a stablecoin-backed virtual Visa card built by Rain in September 2026. MoneyGram plans to add its own MGUSD stablecoin and expand across Latin America.
