3.6/5 5.0/5 · Data verified on

Immersve is a New Zealand payments infrastructure company that connects web3 wallets to the Mastercard network, letting users spend crypto/stablecoins wherever Mastercard is accepted. Partnering with Mastercard and Circle, it converts USDC to fiat for settlement, with a model in which the user's digital assets remain non-custodial and are not held as collateral by a third party. It is a B2B solution for wallets and platforms, not an end-user product.
