Abroad and Lobstr team up to bring stablecoins into everyday life

At Abroad, we believe payments should be instant, secure, and without borders. Today, we’re proud to announce our partnership with Lobstr, one of the most trusted wallets in the Stellar ecosystem. Together, we’re making it easier than ever to turn stablecoins into real world spending power across Latin America.

‍

What is Lobstr?

Lobstr is a non-custodial wallet built for the Stellar network. Celebrated for its simplicity and security, it has become the go-to gateway to digital assets for hundreds of thousands of users worldwide. With Lobstr, holding, sending, and receiving cryptocurrencies like USDC is effortless and intuitive.

But Lobstr is more than just a wallet. It is a bridge between blockchain technology and everyday payments, created to make digital money as easy to use as traditional cash.

‍

What does this mean for Abroad?

With Abroad integrated inside the Lobstr Wallet, users will be able to use USDC in real life across Latin America. Imagine being in Brazil with USDC in your Lobstr Wallet. At checkout, you scan a Pix QR code directly from Lobstr. Abroad instantly processes the conversion, and the merchant receives Brazilian reais (BRL) in their Pix account, ready to use.

No intermediaries, no hidden steps, no waiting times. Just seamless payments, from USDC balance to local currency in seconds. The same applies across other markets, like Colombia with Transfiya and connected banks, making stablecoins usable across multiple real time payment networks.

‍

Why this matters

In Latin America, speed and reliability in payments aren’t optional; they’re essential. This partnership brings together Lobstr’s trusted wallet and Abroad’s cross-border infrastructure to unlock a new level of stablecoin usability.

Travelers can spend abroad without cash, Freelancers can get paid instantly in local currency, and families can send remittances without the usual banking hurdles. This is crypto’s promise made real: practical, accessible, and borderless payments.

One more step toward our mission

At Abroad, our mission is to democratize payments, so that anyone can pay like a local, no matter where they are. Partnering with Lobstr is another step toward making stablecoins a daily use currency secure, fast, and truly global.
