Helio Partners with Onramper to Power Unique Card to Stablecoin Payments for Global Merchants
Onramper’s industry-leading aggregator will localize payment methods for merchants looking to accept instant stabelcoin payments.
May 20, 2025 – Onramper, the world’s leading fiat-to-crypto on-ramp aggregator, today announced a partnership with Helio to supercharge stablecoin payments for global merchants. Helio, a leading crypto checkout app used by over 6,000 merchants and millions of users, has advanced the adoption of crypto payments by offering a faster, more affordable alternative to traditional methods.
To date, Helio has processed over $1.5 billion in transactions and integrates with leading digital platforms, including Shopify, where it powers the popular Solana Pay plugin. Now, the company is launching a revamped payment flow that enhances the onboarding experience for new users that don’t already have a crypto wallet when completing purchases with stablecoins such as USDC.
Now when Helio users select “Pay with Card”, they’re guided through a localized payment method selection screen tailored to their region powered by Onramper’s industry leading on-ramp aggregator and smart routing engine. Users can quickly fund a virtual crypto wallet tied to their email by purchasing USDC and easily complete their payment to the merchant. This seamless fiat-to-crypto flow unlocks valuable new commerce use cases for merchants, including instant settlement from credit card purchases (instead of next day settlement), zero chargeback risk, seamless iGaming deposits via cards, global support for high risk payments and more.
Stablecoin usage continues to rise – recent reports show retail usage increased by 35% in 2024 as consumers increasingly turn to stablecoins for e-commerce to avoid banking delays.
“Collaborating with Helio to enable stablecoin payments is a major step toward bringing crypto commerce to Web2-native users,” said Thijs Maas, CEO of Onramper. “Our aggregation engine delivers localized on-ramps and payment methods, making it easier for users to check out.”
Onramper accepts 130+ payment methods and enables users to purchase crypto across 190+ countries. This extensive geographic coverage is complemented by sophisticated routing engines that recommend the best conversion for users in real-time – maximizing users’ odds of a successful transaction and ensuring they receive the most crypto for their fiat.
"Helio is known as the market leader in native crypto payments, offering low fees and instant settlement. With the integration of Onramper, we’ve expanded backwards compatibility with the traditional financial system. This allows Helio merchants like Liquid Brokers and Bizcuits to accept instant card payments in over 130 countries through seamless fiat to stablecoin onramps. This results in increased sales for our merchants and a faster, smoother checkout experience for customers at Helio-powered stores. It’s a big step toward making crypto payments as seamless as traditional ones, especially for those new to crypto or looking to top up quickly." said Stijn Paumen, CEO of Helio.
“At Bizcuits, we support trading brokers and prop firms with operational solutions, including payments infrastructure. We integrated Helio for card-to-crypto payments because of its seamless experience, transparent pricing, and global reach. It enables our partners to offer reliable fiat-to-crypto onramps without added complexity, making Helio a natural fit for our ecosystem.” Debbie Colerio, Payments and Compliance Manager, Bizcuits

Umbra integrates Onramper to power private crypto access and payroll
Buy crypto with fiat and get paid in crypto — all without compromising your on-chain privacy.
We're excited to announce that Umbra has integrated Onramper, bringing private fiat onramping and crypto payroll to users directly inside the Umbra app.
Umbra is a privacy-first wallet built on Arcium's MPC encrypted execution engine and zero-knowledge proofs. It lets users send and receive crypto without exposing their financial activity onchain. Every transaction is designed to keep the sender, recipient, and transaction history private by default, giving users the kind of financial discretion that traditional finance takes for granted but that most crypto wallets still lack.
Buy crypto privately, in your currency
Umbra users can now buy crypto with fiat across 24 major currencies without leaving the app. Onramper aggregates the best onramp providers globally and automatically routes each transaction to the most competitive option based on location, payment method, and availability. Users get better rates and access to local payment methods, all inside a single, streamlined flow. The funds land directly in a wallet that is private by default.
Get paid without the exposure
Umbra Payroll, powered by Onramper, solves a problem that has no clean solution elsewhere. Users can receive crypto payroll and offramp directly to their bank account without linking that withdrawal back to their main wallet. On-chain activity and bank account details stay disconnected. For anyone who wants to be paid in crypto without compromising their financial privacy, this is a meaningful step forward.
Together, these two integrations address the most common friction points in private crypto usage: getting funds in, and getting paid out, both without leaving a traceable trail.
"Onramper was built to give any product access to the best global onramp coverage through a single integration," said Rick Thomas, co-CEO of Onramper. "Umbra is exactly the kind of app this infrastructure was designed for, privacy-native, user-first, and solving a real problem. Together we're making it possible to participate fully in crypto without sacrificing financial privacy."
"Privacy in crypto has always been about more than anonymity. It's about giving people genuine control over their financial lives," said Krutarth Shah, CEO of Umbra. "Integrating Onramper means our users can fund their wallets and receive payroll with the same level of discretion they expect from every other part of the Umbra experience."
Umbra with Onramper is available now. Open the Umbra app to get started.

AMSTERDAM, April 6, 2026 — Onramper, the world's leading fiat-to-crypto onramp aggregator, announced a partnership with Moonshot, the self-custodial trading app built on Solana, to remove one of the biggest barriers to entering onchain markets: funding accounts across different markets.
Through the integration, Moonshot users* can now access more than 180 local payment methods across over 190 countries, making it easier to move between fiat and crypto using familiar payment methods.

Moonshot is designed for users looking for direct exposure to the digital asset market without the friction of traditional crypto platforms. The app combines a self-custodial wallet with no seed phrases, real-time market data, and a mobile-first experience optimized for speed and simplicity. Since launch, Moonshot has grown to more than two million users and reached the top of the App Store in multiple countries.
“Access has always been the bottleneck for global adoption,” said a spokesperson at Moonshot. “Every new payment method we add unlocks new users, and this partnership turns previously hard-to-reach regions into active onchain markets.”
Onramper’s aggregation layer automatically routes users to the most competitive onramp provider based on location, payment method, and availability, optimizing for conversion and reducing drop-off at the point of deposit. For Moonshot, this means broader global coverage while maintaining a frictionless in-app experience.
