Hey Product Hunt! We created Wind.app out of frustration with high fees and having our own funds frozen for weeks by a platform ๐Ÿ˜ก. Today, we (and many others) use Wind to pay our global team in 10+ countries at the best rates using a self-custody wallet โšก๏ธ We're based out of Asia (s/o Singapore! ๐Ÿ‡ธ๐Ÿ‡ฌ) and in this region going between fiat and crypto is still complex and expensive. Our Payouts tool is showcased here today, but we're building the underlying infrastructure to tackle this head-on. We're already live with every bank, e-wallet, and exchange in the Philippines and have developer docs ready for you to build on ๐Ÿ› ๏ธ Join us in simplifying cross-border payments. And definitely, let us know what you think. Your feedback is invaluable! ๐Ÿ™Œ Cheers ๐Ÿฅ‚ Fahad on behalf of the Wind Team
@amdfad Beyond Excited to show case Wind to the Product Hunt Community. We dropped a thread on how the product is different on Twitter/X below ๐Ÿ‘‡ https://twitter.com/WindAppHQ/st... Let me know if there is anyway I can help you with on/off ramps and cross border payments :) My contact details are at my profile :)

Hello, Fahad! Finally, I found a really spectacular product in this category. Congrats! Can I use your platform in any place and any country absolutely free?
Fahad โšก๏ธ
@alexanderptitsyn Hi Alexander! You can send and receive funds from anywhere. Adding money is possible from the US, Singapore, UAE, and more. Cash-out is available in the Philippines and India, while off-ramping to exchanges is accessible in 10+ countries. We're actively working on expanding our coverage to more countries. ๐Ÿ™
Momcilo Stojkovic
@amdfad Sounds like a promising solution for cross-border payments. Great to see your progress in the Philippines! Any plans for further expansion beyond Asia? Curious to know. Thanks for sharing!
@mocarg As the product is self-custodial, anyone can open up the account from anywhere in the world and start using it! You can on/off ramp in US, and SEA currently, however, you can also take your money through an exchange and use!

I didn't see a pricing table on your website. Im curious: If I deposit $ 10k USDC. And want to move that to my Norwegian bank account. How much would it cost in percentage? How much would you take for this service? And Can it be used to pay employees etc?
Fahad โšก๏ธ
@sentry_co Hi Andrรฉ! We charge 0.5% + $5 at the current prevailing market rate. For example, if you want to move $10,000 USDC to NOK, it will cost you $55 in fees and we will deposit (10,000-55) * 10.9 = 107,406 NOK in your bank (assuming you want it in NOK and not USD. Currently, we don't directly support NOK but you can request a manual disbursement and we will process that within 24 hours. Our business dashboard can be used to batch-send USDC to any of your employees anywhere in the world :) Let me know if you have any questions or happy to jump in a call https://zcal.co/elius/30min

๐Ÿ’ก Bright idea
@amdfad Thanks. Great breakdown. Its hard to off-ramp these days without getting stuck in legal tape. I will reach out!
Andrรฉ J
@amdfad And for payroll. Can I use it to deposit employees to their bank accounts in fiat. On say a regular interval? So USDC -> Employee bank account? With the same rates?
Fahad โšก๏ธ
@sentry_co Yes, for the countries we currently support you definitely can. And if you let us know which other countries you need we can also try to support!
Andrรฉ J
@amdfad Modern workforces are global so preferably as many as possible. Hong Kong, Norway, France, UK would be relevant
Ash Rahman ๐ŸŽฎ
Cool product! Especially the api makes it more interesting. Would love to see if we can potentially integrate with AuctionVilla Bangladesh platform. Best wishes on the launch.

@ashrahman Thanks bro ๐Ÿ”ฅ๐Ÿš€ Appreciate your support ๐Ÿ™Œ
Jake Tital
Much needed tool. Really cool to see you addressing this problem. How did you handle the security measures?
@jaketital All the wallet are self-custodial. Which means that only you have access to your funds. No one, including us, can't ever access your funds!
Mizan :)
Congratulations on the launch. ๐Ÿš€ Excited about Wind debit card. When are you guys planning to bring the debit card feature?

@amdfad Launching with Google is not equal to launching any other day. I hope you still be able to crack and find your spot. Loved that logo and animation. Good luck :)

@neelptl2602 Haha you get it! ๐Ÿ˜‚ We're already getting lots of traffic so hoping for the best ๐Ÿ™Œ Appreciate your support!

Curious to see a breakdown in costs comparing Wind to Wise. We're in the UK and we have team members in many countries, but currently paying our team in the Philippines from our USD account directly to their bank accounts (in PHP). Do you have a comparison page with the costs + fees?
@thiagodecarvalho That's a good feedback - we currently don't have that page. But I can share with you that our pricing is 0.4% + $0.2 for cash out in PH. More directly - Wise charges $8.42 for transferring $1000 to PHP. We charge $4.2, half the amount!
Thiago de Carvalho
@elvista Hi Hussain, great to know! Curious, how do I deposit USD from a business bank account (E.g.: Wise) and what's the fee to turn it into USDC?
santhiaroo
It is a very cool product and has so much potential. I will definitely try it to pay some of our team.
@santhiaroo Awesome - let me know how I can help with your onboarding. Just send me a msg if you get stuck anywhere! https://www.linkedin.com/in/elvi...

Ngl, I've seen hundreds of USDC/T tunnels but no app comes close to the super simple UI you've put together. I hope more and more businesses join Wind. Great product.
Fahad โšก๏ธ
@realvivektiwari Thanks Vivek ๐Ÿ™Œ We're creating a product we can comfortably use ourselves so the user experience is very important to us โค๏ธ
Superb work folks! I envision incorporating this into our cross-border payroll system as our team continues to expand :') Also, congratulations on making it to the top list on PH! Best of luck

Philipp Shay
Hi there! ๐Ÿš€ Congratulations on launching! ๐ŸŽ‰ It sounds fantastic. How do you ensure the security of funds and transactions in your self-custody wallet? Best of luck with your mission! ๐ŸŒ๐Ÿ’ผ Cheers! ๐Ÿฅ‚
@kinzarra Hi Philipp! A self-custody wallet means that no one, not even us, can control or move your funds. Unlike Wise or PayPal, it means we can't freeze your funds! Your keys stay only with you encrypted through MPC architecture. We wrote about it a bit more in details here on our Docs! https://docs.wind.app/how-is-win...
Rami - Browsingbuddies.com
Is this similar to Wize?
Fahad โšก๏ธ
@kingromstar Hi Rami! Good question! Some key differences are that we are self-custodial (we can't block your account even if we tried) and allow you to earn upto 7% APY on your saving, wherever you are! โœจ We created Wind.app out of frustration with high fees and having our own funds frozen for weeks by a platform ๐Ÿ˜ก. Today, we (and many others) use Wind to pay our global team in 10+ countries at the best rates using a self-custody wallet โšก๏ธ
Karthik MS
Only USDC or conversion of other denominations or crypto is possible with Wind? just wondering.
Fahad โšก๏ธ
@thisiskarthik We have a Swap feature in the app that enables you to move into other crypto currencies โšก๏ธ
Arib Rezwan
Been using the Wind App for 5 months now, it has zero fees and blazing fast speed. And the best part is crypto to local currency transfer. Which is a game changer.

@aribrez1 Yess thank you for being an OG supporter Arib! Appreciate you ๐Ÿ™Œ

Rating: โญโญโญโญโญ I've recently dived into the world of crypto payments with the WIND APP, and I am genuinely impressed! This app has redefined the way I handle my digital transactions. I appreciate the transparent fee structure. No hidden surprises, and the fees are reasonable. It's clear what I'm paying for each transaction. Dealing with multiple cryptocurrencies has never been easier. The app supports an impressive array of cryptocurrencies, giving me the freedom to diversify my holdings. WIND App has become my go-to solution for crypto transactions. It's a well-crafted app that combines style with substance. Kudos to the developers for creating such a fantastic tool! โญโญโญโญโญ

A great cross-border solution for the emerging stablecoin economy. Real-time, low fees, self custody, what else?

Really fantastic app to send USDC to fiat with a very low transaction fee. Is it supported at India btw!?

The exemption of KYC changes everything! For a young freelancer such as myself, it was a matter of minutes for setting up my account and accepting payments. Great work Team Wind!
Fahad โšก๏ธ
@iram_nahiyan Absolutely! We're excited to see how you'll use it! ๐Ÿ™Œ
