End users access the card inside your existing app; NAKA provides the rails and compliance stack in partnership with an issuer that is a Visa Principal Member.
LATAM businesses lose time and margin to bank fees and bureaucracy - launching your own virtual NAKA+ Visa Platinum Card keeps every payment seamless, efficient, and under your control.
Everyday Spend
For end users, the benefit is self-custody with everyday spend:
the card connects to a user-controlled Safe (smart account) on the NAKA network so balances stay on-chain in the user’s name. When a purchase is made, the on-chain balance (typically in a dollar-denominated stablecoin such as USDT) is seamlessly settled behind the scenes, enabling everyday spending without manual conversion while still preserving transparency, lower fees, and user control compared to typical crypto cards.
NAKA+ Your Turnkey to Finance
Embed a branded, Visa-accepted card that draws directly from your balance.
It lets crypto exchanges, wallets, and fintechs that work with stablecoins launch a branded, Visa-accepted card funded by users’ on-chain balances, without needing to obtain their own issuing licenses or building out compliance in-house. End users access the card inside your existing app; NAKA provides the rails and compliance stack in partnership with an issuer that is a Visa Principal Member.
Your in Control
NAKA+ lets you extend your product
into everyday spending, reward programs, or employee benefits while keeping funds in users’ control, and aligning your brand with transparent, next-generation payment technology.

(Cardholder Perspective)
How NAKA+ Visa Platinum Card works
01. Cardholder Payment
When the cardholder is ready to pay for goods or services, they simply tap to pay with their NAKA+ Card like any other payment card. They can top up their connected wallet beforehand to ensure the card balance covers the purchase.
02. Authorization & Balance Check
The transaction request routes to the partner that is a Visa Principal Member. NAKA’s Balance Service checks available balance, prompts the user to sign the authorization, and instantly reserves the required amount in the cardholder’s smart contract for settlement.
03. Settlement & Merchant Payout
Upon settlement, the reserved USDT is transferred to the partner’s settlement wallet. The network then completes merchant payout in fiat - fully automated.
Outcome for Distributors (You)
- End users are already familiar with a card experience.
- Crypto-to-fiat settlement happens entirely behind the scenes automatically.
- No client crypto float appears on your balance sheet.
- Integrate value-added DeFi services, reward and loyalty programs, and other incentive schemes directly into the rails to boost user retention and engagement.
(Card Distributor Perspective)
How NAKA+ Visa Platinum Card works
Program Integration
You (the distributor) integrate NAKA’s EMV-compatible card infrastructure into your existing app or product and launch a fully branded NAKA+ Visa Platinum Card for your users. This includes updating your app UI and card design, integrating NAKA and Visa services, onboarding users, providing first-level support, and handling virtual card distribution.
Regulatory & Operational Coverage
NAKA runs the entire regulated stack so you don’t need to obtain new crypto or issuing licences. NAKA provides the USDT payment rail, cardholder smart contract and Balance Service, safety collateral for payment processing, KYC service (via SumSub), AML checks, SAR, real-time transaction monitoring, and second-level support for you.
Network & Clearing
The issuer that is a Visa Principal Member provides card technology services, network administration and clearing, and the settlement with the Visa network that is required for merchant payout. They also handle third-level support for you.
User Acquisition & UX
With the hard parts handled by NAKA and Visa, you can focus on acquiring customers, designing the user experience, and building retention or rewards around the card within your own ecosystem.
Automated Settlement
All crypto-to-fiat conversion and merchant payouts happen automatically behind the scenes, with no client crypto float on your balance sheet.
Governance and responsibility
The onboarding and integration process is straightforward and typically takes only a few months end to end, subject to Principal Member onboarding and your requested project scope. Project approval and internal integration timelines vary by jurisdiction, feature set, and team capacity to integrate and test the solution. To find out more about the process contact us with your request for a detailed brief.
Compliance
Trust, compliance, and consumer protection
KYC & onboarding
NAKA embeds full end-to-end Know Your Customer (KYC) verification directly inside your app. This means your users complete legally required identity checks without leaving your environment, while all regulatory obligations and record-keeping are handled within NAKA’s issuing stack.
Regulatory & Operational Coverage
Anti-Money Laundering (AML) screening, ongoing sanctions checks, real-time transaction monitoring, and Suspicious Activity Reporting (SAR) are embedded into the program by default. Every transaction is automatically screened against global watchlists, helping you meet local and international compliance standards without building your own compliance operation.
Insurance & safety collateral
To safeguard both distributors and cardholders, NAKA provides program-level insurance and safety collateral that satisfy the requirements of traditional card networks and settlement banks. This ensures that funds are protected throughout the payment cycle and that merchant payouts are guaranteed.
Operational posture
Whether the payout flows to distributors or directly to merchants (depending on where cardholders use the card), funds are released immediately after settlement. NAKA’s infrastructure is built to mirror the rigor of established payment-security practices, aligned with PCI DSS standards and EMV expectations, while adding the transparency and auditability of blockchain. This gives all parties the speed of on-chain settlement combined with the reliability and consumer protections of global card networks.
