About Transak

Founded in 2019 by Sami Start and Yeshu Agarwal, Transak emerged in response to the critical need for a solution that would enable web3 developers to onboard users with fiat currency. In early 2020, the company introduced its On-Ramp solution, a platform designed to support user onboarding.

By integrating Transak into their web3 platforms, developers can provide users from over 150 countries with a streamlined method to buy or sell crypto assets, simplifying the complexities of user KYC, risk monitoring, compliance, payment methods, and customer support.

While the On-Ramp solution has achieved significant success and continuous improvement, the journey to web3 adoption still presents challenges that necessitate further innovation to attract mainstream users. With the goal of delivering a comprehensive solution that offers a web2-like onboarding experience for web3, the company expanded its product line in 2022. Notably, the company launched the Off-Ramp solution for crypto-to-fiat transactions, Transak One for fiat-to-smart-contract operations, and a dedicated fiat-to-NFT checkout solution.

Currently, the company has established itself as the go-to solution for many leading web3 applications in the industry, including MetaMask, Coinbase Wallet, Splinterlands, and AAVE.
