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.
