Transak Enables Crypto Cashouts Under 30 Minutes in Over 145 Countries With Visa

Payments giant Visa has teamed up with Transak, a provider of cryptocurrency and NFT payment infrastructure. This is set to enhance Transak’s service of converting cryptocurrency to fiat currency, benefiting users in over 145 countries through the integration of Visa Direct.

The introduction of Visa Direct into this process aims to improve transaction speed, potentially reducing the time for money transfers to under 30 minutes, a notable improvement over the longer durations typical in conventional banking.

The collaboration aims to enhance the practicality and accessibility of digital currencies as it focuses on simplifying the conversion process from cryptocurrency to local fiat currencies, thereby addressing some of the challenges that have previously limited wider adoption of digital currencies.

Transak, which supports more than 40 cryptocurrencies, is integrated with over 350 Web 3.0 wallets and games such as MetaMask, Trust Wallet, and Coinbase Wallet. This integration ensures that a larger number of users can access the crypto-to-fiat conversion service.

The firm is a Web 3.0 onboarding infrastructure provider with solutions designed to ease the process for users to engage with cryptocurrencies, addressing aspects like user KYC, risk monitoring, compliance, payment methods, and customer support.
