Barça Mobile Develops Digital Wallet with Wirex, Crossmint and Stellar

Barça Mobile, FC Barcelona's official mobile telecom service, is developing an in-app digital wallet using infrastructure from Wirex, Crossmint, and the Stellar Development Foundation. The partnerships were announced on Aug. 5, with the wallet described as an integrated feature of the existing Barça Mobile app, aimed at combining connectivity, payments, loyalty benefits, and travel services into one interface. Wirex will provide payment and card infrastructure for future wallet-linked payment features, while Crossmint will supply wallet infrastructure and user-onboarding technology. Stellar will serve as the blockchain network layer for the wallet. New Era CEO Ruslan Bîrlădeanu emphasized that this integration does not represent a separate product or new line of business. Barça Mobile, launched in April 2025 as a mobile virtual network operator, initially offered a Global Travel eSIM for internet connectivity in over 170 countries. The wallet plan aims to expand the app's functionality into payments and rewards. The current U.S. App Store listing for Barça Mobile presents it as a travel eSIM app, advertising connectivity in more than 200 destinations, with version 2.5.0 released on Aug. 3.
