SoFi Live with SoFiUSD Settlement on Mastercard: $25B Card Program

SoFi Technologies (NASDAQ: SOFI) and Mastercard announced Sept 22, 2026 that stablecoin settlement is now live across SoFi Bank, N.A.’s debit and credit card program — migrating the entire ~$25B annualized card program to blockchain settlement in SoFiUSD, the first stablecoin issued by a U.S. nationally chartered bank.

Six months after the March partnership, merchants need not hold crypto: Big Business Banking can credit a SoFi account instantly and withdraw cash 24/7 at zero cost. In this OnlyFintechs episode we unpack bank-issued settlement behind familiar cards; why volume ≠ revenue; OCC issuer vs “not a deposit / not FDIC-insured” disclosures; and the next legs — merchant talks, Galileo issuer optionality, cross-border/remittances.

What you’ll learn:

• How SoFiUSD settles a live national-bank card book on Mastercard without cardholders paying in crypto
• Why ~$25B annualized card-program volume is settlement throughput — not SoFi issuer revenue
• OCC bank issuer disclosures: redeemable 1:1, but not a deposit / not FDIC-insured
• Merchant UX via Big Business Banking + roadmap color (cross-border, Galileo)
