At first, choosing an on/off-ramp provider feels like a feature comparison. Once you take the plunge, you find out that it is also a deep dive into licensing, coverage, and real business alignment.
Your decision of a provider could shape the entire experience you can possibly provide to your users, which will in turn determine how much revenue the app can generate.
This guide compares eight providers on identical criteria. Four are retail on/off-ramps built for consumer-facing apps. Four are stablecoin and payments infrastructure platforms built for business-to-business flows. All product facts were taken from each provider's own public documentation and announcements in July 2026, and this market moves quickly enough that you should re-check anything decision-critical before you sign.
Every provider gets the same five questions:
Note that the information provided in this guide is latest as of July 2026 and is subject to change. Everything cited comes from their own public documentation, and you should verify anything decision-critical directly with them.

Transak is a regulated and registered on/off-ramp and stablecoin payments infrastructure that embeds inside other applications. The infrastructure handles payment processing, identity verification, fraud monitoring, and fiat settlement so the partner app never becomes a crypto company.
Transak does not operate a consumer app, a wallet, or an exchange that would compete with Transak Partners.
136+ cryptocurrencies across 45+ blockchains in over 63 countries, with 26 fiat currencies.
Registered entities in the USA (NMLS ID 2362652), the UK, Canada, Australia, and Hong Kong. ISO 27001:2022 certified and SOC 2 Type II compliant. Used by 600+ apps.
Transak provides four integration routes for developers:
Funding by card, Apple Pay, Google Pay, SEPA and SEPA Instant, Faster Payments, open banking, and wire. Payout by SEPA transfer, GBP bank transfer, or to a card.
Named virtual accounts in EUR over SEPA, GBP over Faster Payments, and USD over wire and ACH. Transak Stream gives users a permanent address that converts and pays out automatically across 64+ countries.
As of July 2026 the Whitelabel API covers on-ramp only, so off-ramp and Stream run through the widget, SDK, or mobile WebView. Emerging-market coverage is corridor-led rather than universal, with Brazil, Mexico, the Philippines, and Malaysia served through cards rather than local instant schemes.
Current coverage is published at transak.com/global-coverage.

MoonPay is an on/off-ramp and crypto payments platform serving both businesses and consumers. Its Ramps platform serves 500+ business customers, and it separately operates a consumer app and a self-custody wallet used by a reported 30 million people.
Business ramps span the US, EEA, and 100+ countries, with the consumer side reaching 180+ countries. Licensing is broad, including money transmitter licences across 47 US states, a New York BitLicense, and registrations with the FCA, the Central Bank of Ireland, AUSTRAC, and FINTRAC.
MoonPay launched Headless Onramps in May 2026, replacing its widget with a pure API that gives partners a fully white-labelled checkout supporting one-tap Apple Pay, card, and Google Pay purchases.
Cards, Apple Pay, Google Pay, PayPal, and local bank transfers on the consumer side, with on-ramp and off-ramp both supported. MoonPay launched virtual accounts in New York in April 2026, extending its enterprise stablecoin footprint.
MoonPay sells to end users directly through its own app and wallet, which puts it in the same market as many of the apps it supplies. That overlap is a notable difference from Transak, which has no consumer product and therefore no reason to compete with a partner for the same customer.
Ramp Network is a fiat-to-crypto on and off-ramp aimed at wallets, dApps, and Web3 applications, with a long-standing focus on conversion rates and native-feeling purchase flows.
Ramp reports coverage across 150+ countries and 50+ fiat currencies, which is among the widest published country counts in the retail ramp category.
A hosted widget and SDKs for web and mobile, with iOS SDK documentation published. Ramp's public documentation is oriented around embedding its interface rather than rebuilding the journey screen by screen.
Visa and Mastercard cards, Apple Pay, Google Pay, SEPA Instant, PIX, and open banking transfers. Off-ramp to bank accounts is available in select regions including the UK and Europe, and card payouts reach 35+ local currencies through Visa and Mastercard.
Bank off-ramp is regionally limited rather than global, and Ramp does not publish a named virtual account product.
If your users need to receive salaries or invoices into an account number, you might hit a wallet. For such cases Transak's Virtual Account Payments covers in EUR, GBP, and USD.
Banxa is a compliance-led fiat-to-crypto payment platform serving exchanges, wallets, PSPs, and ecommerce, now operating inside OSL Group.
Banxa states coverage in over 200 countries with 100+ cryptocurrencies and 150+ fiat currencies.
Licensing is genuinely one of its strengths, with 45 licences reported, including a MiCA licence in the Netherlands that passports across 30 EEA countries, FCA registration in the UK, and AUSTRAC registration in Australia. US services run through DART Bank.
A REST API, JavaScript and Python SDKs, client libraries for web, iOS, Android, and React Native, and pre-built UX components.
Local payment methods including cards, bank transfers, SEPA, iDEAL, and Apple Pay, with both on-ramp and off-ramp supported.
While a good pick overall, third-party reviews highlight high fees as a cost for convenience and stringent verification requirements.
Mercuryo is an on/off-ramp focused on breadth of local payment methods, with a notable strength in push-to-card payouts. Partners include several large wallet and hardware wallet brands.
Mercuryo reports availability in over 150 countries, supporting more than 25 fiat currencies for on-ramp.
An API with a choice of SDK or iFrame embedding, plus a customisable WebView, and custom design options to match partner branding.
Local methods including Revolut Pay, PIX in Brazil, InstaPay in the Philippines, and QRIS in Indonesia. Payouts run as a push-to-card gateway through Visa Direct and Mastercard Send, typically settling in under 30 minutes and near-instantly on Fast Funds enabled cards.
Off-ramp fiat is limited to EUR and USD, which is narrow if your users want to exit into their own local currency. Card-based payout also means the exit path depends on the user holding an eligible card, where Transak supports SEPA and GBP bank transfer payouts alongside cards.
BVNK is an enterprise stablecoin payment infrastructure for businesses and financial institutions. It offers a managed service and a self-managed platform called Layer1, covering payment orchestration, merchant settlement, and treasury.
Onboarding across 130+ countries with 25+ licences. These include a UK Electronic Money Institution licence, an EU EMI licence with VASP registrations, and US registration as a Money Services Business with state money transmitter licences.
API-first, with a managed option that bundles virtual accounts, payouts, and conversion, and a self-managed option for teams that want to run orchestration themselves.
Virtual accounts in EUR, GBP, and USD, with access to ACH, SEPA including SEPA Instant up to €750,000, Fedwire, and Swift. Stablecoin payments in and out with automatic conversion to fiat.
BVNK requires a minimum of roughly $500,000 in monthly payment volume and six months of trading history, and it does not offer retail card on-ramps or per-user KYC at consumer scale. It is built for business-to-business flows, so a consumer-facing app still needs a retail ramp such as Transak alongside it.
Bridge is stablecoin infrastructure covering orchestration, issuance, wallets, and cards. Stripe acquired it for $1.1 billion in a deal that closed in February 2025, making it Stripe's largest acquisition.
Global reach with US and EEA entities. Bridge Building Inc holds a license in the US, and Bridge Building S.A. is registered in Luxembourg.
API-first across four products. Open Issuance lets a company create and manage its own stablecoin, and card issuing is integrated with Stripe Issuing.
Stablecoin movement, storage, and acceptance in USD, USDC, USDT, and other stablecoins. Bridge also mints USDB, its own stablecoin backed one-to-one by BlackRock money market funds, with reserves invested in US Treasuries.
Bridge is business-to-business stablecoin infrastructure rather than a retail fiat on-ramp, so it does not solve per-user KYC, card acceptance, or consumer fraud at scale. It is also now part of Stripe, which is a payments company in its own right, where Transak supplies infrastructure without operating a competing payments business of its own.
Iron is API-first stablecoin banking and payments infrastructure, acquired by MoonPay in the first quarter of 2025 in a deal reported above $100 million. It now operates as MoonPay's stablecoin infrastructure brand.
Onboarding from 100+ countries, with regulatory cover inherited from MoonPay, including money transmitter licences across 47 US states, a New York BitLicense, and FCA, Central Bank of Ireland, AUSTRAC, and FINTRAC registrations.
Turn-key APIs spanning on/off-ramps, swaps, banking rails, payments, wallets, and virtual accounts, with KYC either hosted by Iron or brought by the partner.
Named virtual accounts in USD, EUR, and GBP that receive fiat via local and international methods and settle into stablecoins. Fiat pay-ins and pay-outs in USD, EUR, and GBP, with global off-ramp support across 30+ currencies in progress. Supported assets centre on USDC, PYUSD, and EURC, with SOL and ETH on request.
The supported asset list is deliberately narrow next to a full retail ramp, and global off-ramp coverage is still being built out. Iron also sits inside MoonPay, so the consumer-app overlap that applies to its parent applies here too, which is the alignment question Transak does not raise.
Start by working out which half of the category you are in.
Plenty of teams need both, and it is very rare to find one that is able to cater to both requirements.

In addition to providing the widest integration options, tiered KYC, and both B2B/B2B2C use cases, Transak’s infrastructure is also modular. That means, apps can pick and choose the exact components they want so that they do not need to rip out their existing integrations that are already working well just to accommodate a new provider.
Transak already has a proven track record for white-label infrastructure through integrations with partners such as MetaMash.

A white-label crypto on-ramp lets an app offer fiat-to-crypto purchases under its own branding, with the provider handling payment processing, KYC, compliance, and settlement behind the scenes. The user never leaves the app or sees the provider's interface. Integration is usually by API or headless components rather than a hosted widget.
A retail on-ramp converts fiat to crypto for individual end users, which requires per-user KYC, card acceptance, and consumer fraud controls. Stablecoin payments infrastructure moves value between businesses using virtual accounts and bank rails, usually with a minimum monthly volume and no consumer-facing flow.
Generally no, if you integrate a provider that holds the relevant registrations and acts as the regulated entity for the fiat leg. Our Q2 2026 compliance report covers what changed across jurisdictions this year. Building the licensing, banking, and compliance stack yourself typically takes 12 to 24 months per jurisdiction. The provider's licence footprint, not its country count, is what determines where you can actually launch.
Only if you capture card data yourself. Headless card components and hosted card steps keep card data with the provider, which keeps you outside PCI DSS scope while still allowing a native-looking checkout. Full API integrations where you collect card details directly do bring you into scope.
No. A provider with its own consumer app and wallet is acquiring users in the same market as its partners, which can create overlap in incentives, data, and roadmap over time. Providers that earn revenue only from partner volume do not have that conflict.
A hosted widget can be live in days because the provider owns the interface and the KYC flow. A white-label or headless API integration typically takes two to four weeks, depending on how many screens you rebuild and whether you rely on the provider's identity verification or pass your own.
