Easy to use and integrate, modular Crypto, Compliance, and Fiat rails for individuals and businesses. Starting with a crypto ramp, we want to help businesses and individuals to easily go from local fiat to crypto and vice versa, on any fintech or web3 platform. Integrating local payment methods and complying with local regulations. Some use cases: full-stack crypto ramp for web3 projects via 3-line SDK integration; bespoke fiat to stable coin integration for fintech companies; off ramping facilities; seamless integration between fiat and crypto accounts. We dream of a third of all crypto transactions in Latam going through our rails.
