Following the launch of Kraken’s Payward Ramp on Onramper’s aggregation platform via a single API integration, the white-label fiat-to-crypto solution has become accessible to a broader Web3 developer ecosystem.
Payward Ramp: Embedding Cryptocurrency Services
Payward Ramp enables wallets, dApps, and developers to integrate fiat-to-crypto and crypto-to-fiat conversion directly into their products with just one API. This service aims to streamline the process for companies that do not need to build or manage their own payments infrastructure.
Scope and Technical Capabilities
The solution supports over 24 payment methods, including ACH, SEPA, PIX, Apple Pay, and Google Pay, along with more than 600 digital assets across over 100 blockchains. Available operations span more than 30 markets, leveraging Kraken’s regulated exchange infrastructure that has been in operation for over a decade.
For existing Kraken users, onboarding is simplified through familiar methods and flows, ensuring reduced friction for end-users while allowing partners to maintain control over the user experience.
The Onramper Partnership: A Strategic Move
Onramper’s platform aggregates multiple fiat-to-crypto providers via a single API, offering wallets and Web3 applications flexible routing options. By integrating with Onramper, Payward Ramp gains access to the extensive network of wallets and applications already connected to the platform.
This partnership is seen as a response to the fragmented market where on-ramp infrastructure is often scattered across various vendors, leading to operational complexity and inconsistency for developers seeking global coverage. The integration aims to provide a single compliant solution that reduces this overhead for Web3 developers.
Onramper marks the first distribution partner announced for Payward Ramp. The broader strategy involves scaling access to regulated crypto infrastructure for developers building consumer-facing applications without necessitating direct management of the underlying payments and compliance layers by them.
