Clara and Bitso Business Partner To Launch Stablecoin-Backed Corporate Cards for Businesses in Latin America

Clara, Latin America’s leading corporate spend management platform, and Bitso Business, the B2B arm of Bitso that provides infrastructure for efficient and  transparent cross-border payments, are partnering to launch stablecoin-backed payments and corporate  cards, enabling companies to make and manage payments with greater speed, stability, and control. 

This collaboration enables companies holding stablecoins in Bitso to use those assets as collateral for  payments products issued by Clara. Businesses can unlock the full Clara ecosystem, including smart  corporate cards, domestic and international payments, bill pay, and AI-powered financial software,  without having to liquidate their crypto holdings. 

“Through this partnership between two best-in-class platforms, we’re accelerating the future of corporate  payments and treasury and making it accessible today.” said Gerry Giacomán Colyer, Co-Founder and  CEO of Clara. “We’re combining Clara’s payments infrastructure with Bitso’s crypto and stablecoin  ecosystem to give businesses smarter, faster ways to access liquidity whether they’re paying for software  subscriptions, managing travel expenses, or funding growth initiatives.” 

Bitso verifies a company’s stablecoin holdings and acts as a guarantor, establishing the collateral agreement directly with Clara. Based on this structure, approved clients can access Clara’s full payment  ecosystem. 

“At Bitso, we believe the future of finance is built on real-world applications of crypto, and  stablecoins are at the heart of that transformation,” said Daniel Vogel, CEO and Co-Founder of  Bitso. “We’re seeing a massive trend in companies using stablecoins to manage their treasuries,  confirming their role as a key technology for moving money and storing value. This partnership with Clara is a direct response to the growing demand from our Bitso Business clients. The timing is  perfect, there’s an incredible appetite for products built on stablecoins, and together with Clara,  we’re able to unlock new operational power from these assets.”  

The offering primarily targets mid-market and enterprise businesses in Mexico holding stablecoins USDC  and MXNB, particularly organizations that need simpler ways to fund operations without repatriating  capital or navigating legacy banking rails. Regional expansion will follow based on customer demand. 

As companies across Latin America navigate growing financial complexity and currency volatility, demand  is rising for more agile treasury solutions. Clara already processes USD billions in payments annually,  making it one of the most relevant B2B financial services platforms in the region. With this launch, it now  becomes the first in Latin America to enable such transactions secured by stablecoin collateral. Interested  companies can join the waitlist to be considered for the pilot. Each case will be evaluated individually,  with tailored onboarding support from the Clara and Bitso Business teams.
