USDC On Off Ramp: A Reliable Solution for Cross Border Payment Challenges
Despite progress in fintech, cross border payments remain slow, expensive, and complicated. Traditional bank transfers take days to settle, come with high fees, and often involve confusing processes.
For platforms and fintech companies serving international users, these challenges increase costs and limit growth.
Stablecoins provide a better way: faster, cheaper, and easier to use.
How OwlPay Harbor Bridges the Gap with Licensed Rails
That is why we built OwlPay Harbor, a licensed USD⇄USDC on off ramp API that makes cross border transfers more efficient and cost effective.
At its core, OwlPay Harbor provides a compliant bridge for USDC transfers and local currency payouts. Platforms and financial service providers can directly integrate with OwlPay Harbor to leverage our licensed infrastructure. By combining our U.S. Money Transmitter Licenses with partners’ local authorizations, we enable funds to move securely across jurisdictions without the friction of traditional rails.
This approach lets businesses focus on growth instead of compliance complexity. Partners rely on OwlTing to handle the licensed infrastructure while they concentrate on serving their customers.
For platforms expanding internationally, OwlPay Harbor offers a straightforward way to settle in USD, convert funds into USDC, and make payouts in more than 10 supported local currencies including MXN, BRL, JPY, and EUR.
Use Cases and Licensing
If you are based in Canada or Europe and operate with an MSB or VASP license, you can integrate OwlPay Harbor into your setup. With our MTL coverage across more than 35 U.S. states, OwlPay Harbor helps you settle USD and extend payouts into local currencies like MXN, BRL, and JPY.
Common scenarios include:
- SMB remittance platforms that integrate OwlPay Harbor, send USDC, and let us manage the off ramp and local payouts.
- Businesses collect USD that convert funds into USDC through OwlPay Harbor and distribute internationally.
- Licensed providers in Europe or Canada that connect to OwlPay Harbor to gain access to U.S. dollar settlement while expanding payouts in multiple currencies.
*These are only examples. The exact setup depends on local licensing and regulatory requirements.
This is why licensing matters. Each market has different rules, and compliance is critical. With the right licenses in place, stablecoin rails unlock faster, cheaper, and more secure global money movement.
Even traditional networks are moving in this direction. On September 29, 2025, SWIFT announced plans to add a blockchain based ledger to support 24/7 cross border payments and tokenized asset transfers.
This reflects how the global financial ecosystem is embracing the same goals that USDC and OwlPay Harbor already deliver today: speed, efficiency, and transparency.
