These cards can be used to pay online and in-store via a “passthrough wallet in the end.”

Any Visa-accepting store will let clients use their balance without intermediaries.

AstroPay CEO Mikael Lijtenstein said, “We are focused on constantly improving our solutions and providing our users with new digital payment services that are secure, seamless and convenient.”

“The new debit card will save people time and effort in making transactions anywhere.”

AstroPay users will employ Visa transaction processing from Wallester, a white label card issuer.

This expands the company's user base and marks a new collaboration with Visa, Europe's preferred payment network.

“Our partnership with VISA and Wallester advances our ambition to meet the unique needs of our users, who remain at the centre of AstroPay’s work,” Lijtenstein added.

He added: “Working with Wallester helps us launch a competitive product in record time and accelerate our growth.”

Dmitri Logvinenko, Wallester's Technical Founder, said: “The Wallester team is extremely excited that the cooperation with AstroPay has become so successful and valuable for both companies.

We are glad that our product fully matched AstroPay users' expectations, who can now make payments more conveniently using effective solutions in practice."
