1. Technology overview
Reap is a Hong Kong fintech founded in 2018 that builds card issuing and payments infrastructure for stablecoin-enabled businesses. As a Visa Principal Member with licensed entities in Hong Kong and Mexico, it issues cards directly rather than through a sponsor bank, so platforms can launch card programs without building network, compliance and processing operations themselves.
Through one API, partners launch branded Visa card programs, fund and repay cards in stablecoins, and use a Business Account API, fiat payouts and collections to more than 200 countries in over 20 currencies. Additional modules cover agentic payments for AI agents within policy limits, rewards, KYC and KYB, and fraud protection. Reap handles authorization, processing and compliance and settles with Visa in stablecoins in Asia Pacific. Customers are wallets, crypto platforms, fintechs and businesses running corporate spend programs.
