— Overview

Rain issues corporate credit and debit cards natively backed by stablecoin balances, letting crypto-first teams pay real-world expenses without touching a bank wire. Every card transaction settles against on-chain collateral through a Visa network integration Rain built in 2023.

The company operates a full-stack card program: BIN sponsorship, KYB, ledger, dispute handling, and integrations with the largest custody providers. Corporate treasuries at 45 crypto-native companies now run day-to-day payments through Rain.

In 2026 Rain launched a treasury product that lets stablecoin holdings sit in yield-bearing instruments between authorization and settlement, capturing a spread that traditional card issuers cannot replicate.
