Barça Mobile, the telecom platform linked to FC Barcelona, is adding a digital wallet to its mobile app through partnerships with Wirex, Crossmint and the Stellar Development Foundation. New Era Visionary Group, the official telecom operator and partner of FC Barcelona, is working with the three companies to build the wallet infrastructure. The new feature will combine mobile services with payments, rewards, travel and other digital services for users worldwide.
Wirex will provide payment and card infrastructure for the wallet. Crossmint will provide wallet infrastructure and onboarding technology. Stellar will serve as the blockchain layer for the wallet. Its network will support digital transactions and cross-border value transfers, allowing Barça Mobile to build services for users in different markets.
The wallet will not operate as a separate product. Instead, it will become part of the existing Barça Mobile app. The initiative is part of Barça Mobile’s broader plan to develop a global connectivity platform. The company says the service is aimed at FC Barcelona fans, travelers, and mobile subscribers looking for access to telecom and digital services through a single interface.
