Why use a fiat-to-crypto onramp aggregator?
One onramp will never be enough. Neither will five. An aggregator can solve the inherent issues the industry faces today.

The promise of the fiat-to-crypto onramp is an enticing one: with minimal effort, your platform can integrate a widget that allows your customers to turn their fiat money into bitcoin, ether or any other crypto.
In practice, however, onramping is far from the seamless process it’s made out to be. Your provider doesn’t want you to know this, but an estimated 50% of transactions fail after KYC has been passed.
That’s a little alarming, isn’t it? It gets worse. Our October 2022 report identified that abandonment rates during the checkout process can reach as high as 90%.
Why aren’t the onramps working?
To be clear, they do work. And when they do, they’re an excellent way to get new customers up and running in the crypto ecosystem. The problem is getting them to work consistently.
It’s impossible for any given onramp to cater to all demographics. With so much global variance in payment methods, proof of address/identity documents, and fiat currencies used, every solution must make trade-offs.
Unfortunately, those trade-offs come at the expense of user experience for a majority of customers — who are repeatedly hit with the dreaded ‘transaction failed’ error.
Aggregation fixes this
Simply switching your provider won’t solve an issue that impacts every player in the industry.
Introducing multiple onramps could reduce dropouts, in theory, but it’s an expensive solution that isn’t guaranteed to work:
- Integrating and maintaining several stacks eats a significant amount of resources
- Customers will still need to find an onramp that works for them via trial and error
The right aggregator can remove these points of friction: resulting in lower integration costs for you, and streamlined onboarding into the crypto ecosystem for your customers.
The secret sauce: dynamic transaction routing
At the heart of aggregation lies an engine that can identify (and understand) your customers profile and their needs — their location, the fiat currency they’re using, the KYC documentation they have available, etc. The engine takes these factors into account before intelligently matching them with the onramp most likely to ensure a successful transaction.
Our research shows that there are 70+ such inputs that can influence a fiat-to-crypto swap. To be effective, the aggregator’s engine must consider them all.
Truly global coverage
Want consistent completion in fiat-to-crypto transactions? Increase access to local payment methods.
Across the board, these routes are tied to higher success rates. But, frustratingly, there isn’t a single onramp that can provide access to them all — different solutions excel in local payment methods for different regions.
By aggregating them, you instantly broaden your access to location-specific rails. Which, in turn, allows you to equip your customer segments with the best path to crypto available.
Lower fees. Higher outputs.
You might know that your onramp’s fee isn’t actually representative of what your customers are paying. Far from it.
When presented with a single onramp, they’re tied to its conversion rates, its bid-ask spreads and its chosen network fees. All of these hidden costs add up to take a chunk out of the amount of crypto received.
Here, aggregation works as it does on any booking website: it weighs up the different onramps and (all) their rates to calculate the cheapest option — meaning that your customers get the best bang for their buck on every transaction.
Onboarding made easy
The crypto landscape can be difficult enough for newcomers to grasp. Their very first step shouldn’t be a massive hurdle.
With a fiat onramp aggregator, it won’t be. You’ll make sure your customers are repeatedly enjoying seamless swaps (for better rates, too) — all while reducing your own technological overhead.

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.”

"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
