Visa has launched a U.S. settlement service allowing select banks to settle VisaNet obligations using the stablecoin USD Coin (USDC) seven days a week, improving on the traditional five-business-day settlement period. Initial participants Cross River Bank and Lead Bank are settling transactions over the Solana blockchain. This service focuses on the settlement phase between financial institutions and Visa, without changing the consumer card experience or specifying merchant payout timing. The move aims to offer faster, programmable settlement options that integrate with existing treasury systems, with potential benefits for cross-border payments as demonstrated by a Lloyds Banking Group pilot that settled $750,000 in under an hour using USDC.
Visa's new USDC settlement service is notable for enabling seven-day-a-week settlement, improving on the traditional five-business-day period.
