Free, instant, cross-border payouts in USDC or Fiat ๐ธ We handle on/off-ramping and provide up to 7% APY on your balance โก๏ธ Give Wind Business a try for seamless global payments without high fees or complicated interfaces ๐๐ธ
Hey Product Hunt!
We created Wind.app out of frustration with high fees and having our own funds frozen for weeks by a platform ๐ก. Today, we (and many others) use Wind to pay our global team in 10+ countries at the best rates using a self-custody wallet โก๏ธ
We're based out of Asia (s/o Singapore! ๐ธ๐ฌ) 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 ๐ ๏ธ
Join us in simplifying cross-border payments. And definitely, let us know what you think. Your feedback is invaluable! ๐
Cheers ๐ฅ

@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 ๐

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?
@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. ๐
@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?
@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
@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?
@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!
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.
@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 :)
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!
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.
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
Hi there! ๐
Congratulations on launching! ๐ It sounds fantastic.
How do you ensure the security of funds and transactions in your self-custody wallet?
Best of luck with your mission! ๐๐ผ
Cheers! ๐ฅ
@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!

@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! โจ

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.

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! โญโญโญโญโญ
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!
