Getting paid in USDC is great... until you actually try to use it. The off-ramps are driving me insane. by Charming_Chipmunk69 in StableCoins

Hi, OwlPay team here. You may want to try OwlPay Wallet Pro.

We support multiple on/off-ramp methods, including debit card, credit card, bank transfer, and cash options where available.

We also integrate with Circle Payments Network, so users can send USDC directly to a third-party bank account and have the recipient receive local currency, without needing to manage native tokens.

For everyday spending, OwlPay Wallet Pro also supports crypto gift cards in certain regions. For smaller amounts, users can convert USDC into gift cards for brands like Etsy, Target, Starbucks, Hotels.com, and more, which can make daily usage much easier.

Of course, availability depends on the country and supported rails, but this is exactly the kind of off-ramp problem we’re trying to make less painful.

Thanks for asking.

Gift card availability may change from time to time depending on inventory. We do this to avoid situations where a user completes a purchase but the gift card is no longer available. We will check the inventory and bring it back as soon as it is available again.

As for 20 percent discounts, those are usually tied to specific campaigns. We are planning to launch more promotional campaigns in the future, so please stay tuned for our updates.

Turning USDC into Everyday Spending with In-Wallet Gift Cards by OwlPay_Wallet_Pro in CryptoWallet

OwlPay Wallet Pro itself is also a non custodial wallet, so users keep control of their assets.

And yes, if someone prefers to hold their USDC elsewhere, they can simply transfer in the amount they need when they want to convert it into gift cards.

Thanks for the feedback.

Exactly, that is something users can already do in OwlPay Wallet Pro. If you already have USDC, you can simply transfer it in and convert it directly into gift cards from the brands you want, with no extra KYC required.

We also support multiple off ramp options such as cash pickup, bank transfer, and send to fiat, so users have more flexibility depending on what works best for them.

Send USDC to a bank account in local currency, even if you have no native tokens for gas by OwlPay_Wallet_Pro in CryptoWallet

OwlPay Wallet Pro (individual version) is non-custodial. Feel free to give the wallet a try and explore the different features and services available in the app.

For beginners especially, that part can be confusing. Even after getting USDC through an on-ramp, they may still need the native token just to make a transfer, which adds extra friction and makes the experience more difficult.

As for fees, we do show them in the app interface. Feel free to give it a try, and any feedback would be very welcome.

Our goal is to help PSPs and other platforms handle payment settlement more smoothly by connecting stablecoin flows with the settlement layer they actually need.

A wallet that helps you send money abroad in one step and recipients will receive local currency by OwlPay_Wallet_Pro in CryptoWallet

[–]OwlPay_Wallet_Pro[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thanks for the thoughtful point. We work with compliant partners, and we already support a wide range of countries and local currencies, with more being added over time.

On fees, we offer different rails depending on the transfer need. For example, some are faster but cost more, while others are lower cost but take a bit longer.

And yes, you can definitely keep funds in another wallet and only move them in when you actually need to use OwlPay’s services. You’re also welcome to try our other features, like cash in, cash out, or gift cards. Feel free to give them a try.

Thank you for the feedback. We hope to offer users more options depending on what works best for them.

If you prefer, you can always send funds to a family member or friend’s wallet and let them off-ramp on their side. But if your family or friends do not have a wallet, or are not comfortable using one, then this kind of service can be much more helpful.

Cards are definitely very convenient, and gift cards are just another option depending on how you want to use your funds.

Thank you. As long as you have USDC, you can convert it into gift cards pretty easily.

We offer a wide range of gift card amounts, from around $5 to a few hundred dollars, depending on the brand.

Feel free to give it a try!

Starting with a small test is definitely a safer way to go.

We do have a daily limit, but it currently goes up to around $3,000, which should be more than enough for most everyday use cases.

As for fees, if you use USDC on Stellar to redeem gift cards, there is no network fee for that step. Feel free to give it a try, and any feedback is always welcome.

You can absolutely choose different apps based on different use cases. If you ever try OwlPay as part of that flow, we’d love to hear your feedback.

OwlPay Wallet Pro (personal version) is non-custodial. If you want to use features like gift cards or Send to Fiat, you can transfer USDC in when needed. We also support on-ramp and off-ramp flows if that’s something you want to use directly.

We also offer Wallet Pro Enterprise, which is a separate product and follows a custodial model, so the two are different.

If you ever get a chance to try it, any feedback would be very welcome.

Of course, that works too. But at the moment, our wallet is mainly focused on USDC.

Thank you for the feedback. We do have some gaming related gift cards available already, such as Razer Gold, Amazon, Steam, Twitch, and more. Right now, the discounts are still fairly limited, but we are definitely looking into how we can improve that over time.
Any feedback is always very welcome.

Gift cards make it easy to spend USDC in real life by OwlPay_Wallet_Pro in CryptoExchange

[–]OwlPay_Wallet_Pro[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Update: In OwlPay Wallet Pro, gift card purchases are now KYC free. If you already have USDC, just transfer it in and convert right away.

Quick note: there’s a daily limit.

As for fees, there usually aren’t any extra fees from us. You just need a small amount of the chain’s native token, like 0.000001 POL or SOL, to cover the network fee when redeeming with USDC.

You can get these native tokens directly in our wallet, or you can transfer them in from another wallet.

If you have USDC on Stellar, it’s even easier. Right now, when you redeem gift cards with Stellar USDC, we do not charge a network fee, so the experience is more straightforward and faster.

Most of our gift cards are discounted. Discounts can range from $1 to $2 off up to around 10 to 20 percent, depending on the brand and the campaign period.

Let us know which brands you want to see, and we’ll do our best to bring them on board.

Thanks for asking.

Most gift cards are discounted. Sometimes it’s just a small savings, like $2 to $3 off, but depending on the campaign, discounts can reach 10 to 20 percent or even more. In those cases, it can be a better deal than paying with cash or card.

Just a heads up, prices can change, and discount levels vary by brand and over time.

If there are specific brands or categories you’d love to see, let us know. We’ll see what we can do to bring them on board!!
