According to the company, Receiver Redirect will support transfers involving more than 60 currencies across over 200 countries and territories. Customers will be able to send funds through Western Union’s network of more than 500,000 agent locations.
Recipients will be able to collect USDPT in a Western Union wallet and hold it using the company’s Stablecard, which was announced in August 2026.
Noah’s infrastructure will support the pre-funding, conversion and distribution of USDPT. The company will also provide licencing and support compliance with local regulatory requirements.
Noah founder and CEO Shah Ramezani said: “This is a watershed moment for the future of stablecoin and sends a real signal the market has shifted. We’re proud to provide the banking infrastructure behind Receiver Redirect, and to power the next era of international remittances for Western Union.”
The agreement follows Noah’s announcement earlier this month that it had secured $38m to expand its cross-border money transfer services.
Commenting on the new partnership, Western Union Digital Assets global head Malcolm Clarke said: “Customers increasingly want greater flexibility in how they receive, hold and use money.
“This new capability is a global first, taking a Western Union money transfer and delivering it directly into the customers’ stablecard wallet in USDPT stablecoin, creating a seamless connection between our global money movement network and our digital asset ecosystem.”
USDPT, which was launched earlier this year, is issued by Anchorage Digital Bank on Solana.
