What a business in Kuwait can use
Bridge’s products, for a company incorporated in Kuwait.
Bridge does not offer this.
Off-ramps from stablecoins to bank accounts on local rails such as ACH, SEPA, SPEI and Pix.
Virtual accounts that give each customer fiat deposit details in USD, EUR, MXN, BRL, GBP or COP.
Stablecoin-linked Visa cards, issued with Stripe Issuing, rolling out by country.
Wallets, orchestration across fiat and stablecoins, and Open Issuance to launch your own stablecoin.
Platforms that issue their own stablecoin through Bridge receive the interest earned on its reserves, minus issuance fees. Bridge’s closed-loop USDB coin also earns rewards inside Bridge.
From Bridge’s supported-countries table: limited means some of its rails or custodial wallets are not offered there. Bridge does not serve New York businesses and offers no custody in Texas, and it cannot onboard new users from South Korea at present.
