REDWOOD CITY, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--i2c Inc., a global financial technology innovator, and CoinZoom, a U.S.-registered global fintech platform, today announced a strategic partnership to launch and scale an international crypto debit card program for customers across more than 152 countries. By leveraging i2c’s next-gen infrastructure and CoinZoom’s innovative blockchain ecosystem, the collaboration accelerates the issuance of crypto-enabled debit cards and enhances cross-border money movement, enabling faster, more reliable international transactions.
The partnership pairs CoinZoom’s secure, low-cost blockchain-powered platform with i2c’s composable building-block technology. This enables rapid deployment of card programs that allow users to send and spend both fiat money and more than 40 cryptocurrencies at millions of merchant locations worldwide, while earning free crypto rewards on every purchase.
CoinZoom selected i2c for its collaborative approach, deep domain expertise, and willingness to co‑innovate—qualities essential for building next-generation financial products in a rapidly evolving digital‑asset landscape. As CoinZoom pursued rapid global expansion, it relied on i2c’s proven ability to issue cards at scale, demonstrating operational readiness in more than 216 countries and territories, along with 24/7 global customer support.

Together, the companies address the critical need for infrastructure that can handle the volatility and technical complexity of digital assets while maintaining the reliability of a traditional financial institution.
