Abroad x Beans: Pay with USDC anywhere in Colombia.

Abroad x Beans: Pay with USDC anywhere in Colombia.

Thanks to this partnership, you can send USDC from anywhere in the world—and your friends or family in Colombia get pesos—in seconds. Straight to their Nequi, Daviplata, and more than 20 supported banks.

Bogotá, Colombia — July 3, 2025. In a major step toward bridging digital finance and real-world utility, Abroad and Beans announce a strategic partnership that enables the conversion of USDC to Colombian pesos in just seconds. The solution is already live and targets one of the biggest challenges in global payments: the gap between digital currencies and their usability in everyday life.

Through this integration, anyone can send USDC on Stellar Blockchain using the Beans app, and recipients in Colombia receive Colombian pesos ready to spend, transfer, or withdraw—instantly, directly into Nequi, Daviplata or any other of the more than 20 banks supported. Everything happens in seconds, with no intermediaries, no hidden fees, and full transparency.‍

‍From Crypto to Real-World Utility

Across Latin America, where millions rely on remittances, earn income from global platforms, or operate in informal economies, traditional financial systems remain slow, expensive, or inaccessible. This collaboration between Abroad and Beans aims to close that gap—turning stablecoins into a practical, everyday tool.

The process is simple:

1. The sender transfers USDC via Beans.
2. Abroad converts the USDC into Colombian pesos, and disperse the Fiat payment instantly .
3. The recipient receives the funds in seconds, not hours as people are used to.
   ‍

All transactions run on the Stellar network, with automated liquidity and end-to-end transparency

Technology That Disappears, Leaving Only Utility

Behind this partnership lies a shared vision: that people should be able to use digital money without technical friction. Beans delivers a simple, mobile, and transparent user experience, while Abroad provides the infrastructure that makes real-time conversion of digital assets into local currency possible.

From the first click to the final peso received, users don’t need to understand how it works—they just see the results. Complexity fades. What remains is speed, clarity, and control.‍
