# Ravasend > Convert Crypto to Naira in Minutes Ravasend is a crypto off-ramp that lets users in emerging markets convert USDT, USDC, and other cryptocurrencies to local bank accounts in minutes. Ravasend is a crypto-to-fiat off-ramp company serving users in emerging markets, with its initial focus on Nigeria. The platform accepts deposits of stablecoins and other cryptocurrencies and settles the equivalent value in local currency directly to a recipient's bank account within minutes rather than the hours or days typical of conventional transfer rails. It targets individuals receiving cross-border crypto payments who need fast, predictable access to spendable local cash. The service addresses a gap between the speed of global crypto transfers and the slower pace of local banking infrastructure in emerging markets. Users create a wallet, deposit supported crypto assets, and convert them at displayed real-time rates before withdrawing to a linked bank account, with identity verification and compliance checks applied throughout. Underlying wallet, settlement, and compliance functions are delivered in part through regulated third-party providers. Ravasend is built primarily for freelancers, remote workers, diaspora communities sending remittances, and individuals and businesses needing to settle time-sensitive payments such as rent, tuition, and medical bills. It operates as a product under a broader financial technology company that also offers related services such as mobile airtime and data purchases using crypto. The company continues to expand its supported payout corridors within emerging markets. - Type: Company - Sector: Payments - Status: Active - Founded: 2022-01-01 - Profile: https://thegrid.id/profiles/ravasend ## Products - [Ravasend](https://thegrid.id/profiles/ravasend): Ravasend is an off-ramp platform that converts stablecoins and cryptocurrencies into local fiat currency and deposits funds directly into users' bank accounts.
