Cannes, France – July 2nd, 2025 – Noah, the stablecoin payments infrastructure pioneer, and MiniPay, the leading stablecoin wallet have joined forces in a landmark partnership to bring instant, low-cost, borderless payments to millions of consumers in 70 destinations for the first time.
Through the partnership, announced at the Ethereum Community Conference (EthCC) in Cannes, the millions of everyday people who use MiniPay for bills, subscriptions, remittances, earnings and more can now easily receive, convert, and spend stablecoins globally in one place. Payments can be sent directly to MiniPay’s new virtual USD and EUR accounts, converted to stablecoins, before being ready to withdraw to local mobile money accounts in seconds – whether a bank account in Germany, Pix in Brazil, M-Pesa across Africa, and other local methods . All without ever leaving MiniPay’s non-custodial app.
This not only marks a breakthrough in global payments but it’s a breakthrough for crypto usability. While stablecoins have long promised the stability of fiat with the borderless speed of crypto, their $35 trillion annual volume mostly remained locked in trading platforms, out of reach of those who could benefit most.
Noah and MiniPay's partnership is setting a new standard for borderless and affordable digital finance by delivering one of the industry's first truly consumer-ready products for real-world stablecoin payments – enabling users to receive ACH and SEPA payments directly into stablecoins and spend instantly via local rails.
Built for impact and scale
For MiniPay’s growing global user base, and in particular the rising number of freelancers across Africa and Latin America, this partnership is set to be lifechanging as it promises to bring an entire generation of skilled workers into the global digital economy. They’ll no longer be trapped in traditional payment systems that demand foreign accounts, charge as much as 10% in fees, incur week-long delays, and erode income with volatile exchange rates. Nor will they be forced to rely on costly intermediaries, risky informal channels, or hold funds in crypto wallets they can’t easily convert to local currencies.
For MiniPay itself, this partnership transforms the app from a stablecoin wallet into a complete financial tool. Integrated directly into the Opera Mini browser, used by over 100 million people, MiniPay enables users to store, send, and receive stablecoins with ultra-low fees and mobile-first simplicity. It’s already activated 8 million wallets and processed 200 million transactions across 53 countries. Now, thanks to its Noah integration, MiniPay is expanding its users’ ability to send payments to over 70 destinations.
For Noah, this partnership is part of its wider mission to build the global payment network for the stablecoin era – making programmable money usable, compliant, and set free. Fresh off its $22 million seed round, Noah – led by former Visa and Adyen execs, Shah Ramezani and Thijn Lamers – is already powering payouts for neobanks, payroll platforms, and digital asset exchanges across 70+ countries. Its single API connects fiat and crypto payment flows, embedding local payment rails directly into partner apps with integrated FX, treasury management, and full compliance. “This is a category-defining moment. As stablecoins go mainstream, we’re building the rails to make them work for everyone, everywhere,” said Shah Ramezani, CEO & Founder of Noah. “Whether it’s paying global teams, settling international invoices or now empowering millions of everyday MiniPay users, we’re proving that stablecoins aren’t just the future of finance, they’re the infrastructure for a more inclusive economy today.”
“We’re proud to showcase what real stablecoin adoption looks like during EthCC. This announcement isn’t about payments in theory, but about global earnings and local spend in practice,” said Murray Spark, Head of Ecosystem & Commercial at MiniPay. “By combining global rails like ACH with local payment methods like M-Pesa, all within MiniPay’s simple, non-custodial wallet, we’re unlocking stablecoin utility for everyday users.”
