Zebec Network has added embedded wallet infrastructure from Privy, now owned by Stripe, to its payroll application. The integration positions Zebec's product as a hybrid settlement layer that mixes traditional payout formats with on-chain wallets and stablecoin transfers.

The company said embedded wallets allow users to receive withdrawals without having to put in external extensions or manage private keys. This is the primary phase of Zebec's plan to mix Stripe's payment reach with its programmable settlement rails.

The Privy integration prompts wallets during onboarding
Privy offers API-based wallet tools for blockchain applications. Its infrastructure supports multi-chain wallets, gas withdrawal, and secure key storage. Privy reported that before the Stripe acquisition, it had greater than 35 million wallets running on its stack.

Stripe acquired Privy earlier this 12 months to expand its crypto infrastructure strategy and enable developers to embed wallets into existing applications. The company processed around $1.4 trillion in payment volume in greater than 40 countries in 2024.

Zebec said the combination gives its payroll app access to a wallet stack designed for highly scaled environments. The feature supports withdrawals on Solana, Ethereum and Base while ensuring that the onboarding experience stays just like traditional applications.
The company said the rollout is aimed toward corporations that need to test on-chain payroll without deploying separate wallets or changing internal processes. Zebec said the combination lowers the technical hurdle for workers and contractors receiving payouts in stablecoins.
Zebec is planning a second phase focused on stablecoin payouts
The second phase of the combination will give attention to stablecoin payments and international withdrawals. The plan uses Stripe's infrastructure as a bridge between traditional withdrawal methods and programmable settlement via blockchain networks.
The company said the phased approach reflects ongoing regulatory considerations around stablecoins and cross-border flows. Zebec said it might expand the combination throughout 2026 based on partners' timelines.
The Privy integration follows Zebec's work in bank-grade messaging and fast settlement rails. Earlier this month, Zebec detailed its FedNow integration through NatPay, a US payroll processor that uses ISO 20022 messaging for immediate payments and ACH.
Zebec said it’s rebuilding its architecture around ISO 20022, the messaging standard utilized in SWIFT migrations and fast payment systems. The company said this system includes latest data mapping and operational processes and never a technical add-on. A Zebec representative said that enterprise customers now view ISO 20022 alignment as a “non-negotiable” payment infrastructure requirement.
The combined work positions Zebec's application as a programmable layer on top of existing banking rails, leveraging NatPay for messaging and Stripe-Privy for wallet onboarding and user interaction.
