Introducing Udara

Udara lets you spend your crypto at any merchant worldwide using a Visa or Mastercard. Your funds stay in your own wallet on the Stellar network, not on a platform you have to trust. No exchanges. No bank transfers. No waiting. Tap your card and pay.

Why Udara Exists

Tap and Spend

Today, you sell crypto on an exchange, wait for money to reach your bank, then spend from there. With Udara, you skip all of that. Tap your card, and the payment goes through.

Your Money Stays Yours

Your funds live in your own wallet on the Stellar blockchain, not on Udara's servers. Even if Udara goes offline, your money is still there and you can access it directly. No platform can block you from your own funds.

Minimal Tax Impact

Because Udara uses USDC, the tax impact is minimal compared to spending volatile assets like BTC or ETH.

Get Your Card in Seconds

On other platforms, identity checks can take hours. Physical cards take weeks. On Udara, once you are verified, you get a virtual card in under 60 seconds. It is ready for online payments and Apple Pay.

No Hidden Fees or Markups

A flat 1% fee per transaction. No monthly charges. No hidden exchange rate markups. Your balance is already in dollars, so what you see in your wallet is what you can spend.

Verify It Yourself

Every balance, deposit, and withdrawal is recorded on the Stellar blockchain. You can check your funds yourself at any time, without asking Udara or anyone else.
