Can I fund cards in dirhams?

Yes — AED bank transfers fund your wallet, with conversion into card currencies quoted before you confirm. USD, EUR, GBP and stablecoin balances are also supported directly.

Are stablecoins used for funding in the UAE?

Yes. USDT and USDC are widely used in Gulf–Africa trade settlement, and both are supported as first-class funding methods for card balances.

How do UAE trading companies typically structure their cards?

The common pattern is one card per supplier relationship, one per marketplace or platform account, and one per recurring subscription — so procurement, operations and finance each see clean, separated spending.

Consolidated reporting

The UAE sits at the centre of Africa–Asia trade: sourcing offices in Dubai, re-export flows through Jebel Ali, and thousands of African-owned trading companies running procurement from the Emirates. That operating model produces a very specific payments problem — many vendors, many platforms, many currencies, and a finance team that needs every dirham and dollar attributable.

Virtual cards map cleanly onto that structure. Fund from AED or USD balances — or USDT/USDC, widely used in trade settlement — and issue a card per supplier, per platform and per subscription. Spending stays contained by design, and the card list doubles as a live map of your vendor relationships.
