MoonPay, a privately held fintech company providing payment infrastructure for cryptocurrency transactions, has announced it now accepts Discover cards for buying and selling cryptocurrencies like Bitcoin. This makes Discover the third major U.S. card network supported by MoonPay, joining Visa and Mastercard. The company also supports Apple Pay and PayPal. The partnership is notable as Discover has historically been less active in crypto than its rivals. Capital One Financial acquired Discover Financial Services for $35 billion in 2025. Founded in 2019, MoonPay claims over 30 million customers globally and more than 500 enterprise clients. It is privately held with investors including venture capital firms and celebrities like Justin Bieber and Paris Hilton, and was last valued at $3.4 billion.

Privately held MoonPay has adopted the Discover Network, allowing its customers to buy and sell cryptocurrencies through another major payment network.
MoonPay is a financial technology company that provides payment infrastructure for buying and selling cryptocurrencies such as Bitcoin (CRYPTO: BTC).
Discover joins Visa (NYSE: V) and Mastercard (NYSE: MA) as the third major U.S. card network supported by MoonPay.
The fintech company also supports Apple Pay (NASDAQ: AAPL) and PayPal (NASDAQ: PYPL), among other payment rails.
The deal with MoonPay is unusual for Discover, which has historically been less active in crypto partnerships than either Visa or Mastercard.
While Discover cards are accepted on some crypto platforms, MoonPay's announcement relates to support for the Discover Network that processes transactions between cardholders and merchants.
Adding the Discover Network means eligible cards can now be used on MoonPay to buy and sell cryptocurrencies.
Capital One Financial (NYSE: COF) acquired Discover Financial Services for $35 billion U.S. in 2025 as it looked to grow and better compete against Visa and Mastercard.
Founded in 2019, MoonPay says it aims to help businesses move seamlessly between fiat currencies and cryptocurrencies.
MoonPay claims to have more than 30 million customers globally and support more than 500 enterprise customers across crypto and fintech.
MoonPay is privately held. Its investors include venture capital firms and hedge funds, as well as celebrities Justin Bieber and Paris Hilton. The company was last valued at $3.4 billion U.S.
