MetaMask has selected Transak as its exclusive on-ramp partner, according to a Monday press release.
The integration makes Transak the sole provider of fiat-to-stablecoin flows through MetaMask’s Deposit button, including support for MetaMask USD (mUSD), the wallet’s recently launched native stablecoin.
Starting today, MetaMask users in the US and EU can purchase mUSD and other stablecoins like USDC and USDT at near 1:1 rates without leaving the app.
The integration leverages Transak’s white-label APIs and named IBAN capabilities, enabling MetaMask’s over 100 million users worldwide to access a fully embedded onboarding experience. MetaMask USD is issued by Bridge, a Stripe company, and powered on-chain by M0, a decentralized stablecoin infrastructure platform.
“Buying crypto should feel as smooth and safe as using your bank app,” said Lorenzo Santos, Senior Product Manager at MetaMask. “With Transak’s white-label integration, we’re able to offer that experience, bringing together the reliability of fiat rails with the ownership and control of self-custody.”
The new integration offers users transparent 1:1 stablecoin purchases, a dedicated Deposit button supporting bank transfers and card payments, and named IBANs for each user launched later this year. The service aims to reduce traditional onboarding costs, where users typically lose 2-5% of their funds to card fees, spreads, and hidden charges.
According to Transak CEO Sami Start, the partnership is aimed at making crypto usable for ordinary people by bringing the efficiency of stablecoins and smart contracts into familiar financial workflows.
“It brings the benefits of global payments and smart contracts to the forefront, making them accessible at last, and laying the groundwork for the next wave of adoption,” said Start.
