Karsa is a global-dollar account for people and businesses in emerging markets that want to receive, hold and move multiple currencies without opening a new banking stack in every country. Its public product combines account balances, stablecoin transfers, cards and cross-border payouts.

## What it does

The [current Karsa site](https://gokarsa.com/) presents business and personal accounts, USD/EUR/GBP/NGN/CNY/AED balances, ACH, wire, SWIFT, SEPA and stablecoin transfers, cards and payouts to more than 80 countries. It shows use cases for ecommerce resellers, suppliers, contractors and teams paying across borders. The [YC launch](https://www.ycombinator.com/launches/MgV-karsa-the-global-dollar-account) describes the earlier product as a stablecoin wallet using local payment methods and a network of verified peer-to-peer traders.
