Walmart-Backed OnePay Joins Tempo Blockchain to Launch Stablecoin Payouts

Consumer FinTech company OnePay aims to add stablecoin payouts and account funding to its banking product through a new partnership with the Tempo blockchain.

After initially focusing on stablecoin payouts and instant account funding, the collaboration will expand into additional use cases over time, the companies said in a Tuesday (April 28) press release.

OnePay currently powers instant payouts and direct deposit access for millions of American consumers and workers, according to the release.

With the addition of stablecoin infrastructure, the company aims to enable always-on settlement, lower infrastructure costs and new ways to move money in and out of its platform, the release said.

As well as building customer-facing products on stablecoin rails, OnePay plans to actively support the infrastructure by launching a validator on Tempo, per the release.

“Tempo’s payments-focused architecture and built-in privacy and compliance tooling make it the right infrastructure partner as we expand into stablecoin-powered experiences for our customers,” OnePay Head of Crypto Pierce Harger said in the release.

PYMNTS reported Thursday (April 23) that OnePay is working to combine banking, credit and everyday money tools into an all-in-one financial app.

Tempo was incubated by financial infrastructure provider Stripe and crypto investment firm Paradigm, who announced the new company in September 2025 and described it as a “payments-first blockchain” that is optimized for stablecoins and real-world payments, PYMNTS reported at the time.

Executives involved with the launch said in September that Tempo is optimized for stablecoins and high-throughput, low-latency payments, provides an alternative to crypto infrastructure that is focused on trading, and aims to provide a way for large enterprises to go on-chain.

Stripe said in February that early Tempo participants on the blockchain’s testnet include Visa, Nubank and Shopify, which were already testing use cases such as global payouts, embedded finance and remittances, while Klarna launched a bank-issued stablecoin on Tempo to enable cheaper cross-border settlement.

Ani Narayan, GTM at Tempo, said in the Wednesday press release that products that solve real payment problems for everyday users will drive the next wave of on-chain adoption.

“OnePay serves millions of workers and consumers who stand to benefit from faster, cheaper money movement,” Narayan said. “We’re excited to partner on shaping the next generation of consumer finance.”
