Users can open USD accounts, get virtual cards, exchange currencies, and convert crypto to cash. Novacrust is a financial technology platform, classified as a payments company, that helps freelancers, creators, remote workers, and entrepreneurs receive income earned abroad and spend it locally. It targets users in Africa and other emerging markets who earn in foreign currencies or cryptocurrency but need everyday access to their funds. The platform positions itself as a non-bank alternative to peer-to-peer crypto trading and legacy remittance services, aiming to reduce friction and delays in cross-border payments. The platform works by issuing users a USD account that can receive incoming transfers such as ACH and wire payments, then converting balances to local currency at market rates for payout to bank accounts or mobile money wallets, typically within minutes. It also supports converting cryptocurrency, including major stablecoins, into cash. Banking services are provided through licensed partners rather than by Novacrust itself, and money transfers and country coverage span dozens of markets across multiple continents. Core offerings include USD global accounts, virtual cards for online and international spending, currency exchange, and cross-border money transfer to bank accounts or mobile money wallets. Additional services include gift card trading and crypto deposit and withdrawal support. Novacrust is used by freelancers, digital creators, consultants, and small entrepreneurs who need reliable access to global payments and local liquidity. - Type: Company - Sector: Payments - Status: Active - Founded: 2024-11-01 - Profile: https://thegrid.id/profiles/novacrust ## Products - [Novacrust](https://thegrid.id/profiles/novacrust): Novacrust Business is a financial services platform providing businesses with APIs for card issuance, payment collections, and payouts across multiple countries and currencies.
