What is Numpay?

Numpay is a mobile-first payments app for sending and requesting crypto using a mobile number or an email address. It feels like a normal payments app: you sign in with a one-time code, see your balance, and send money to a contact. Behind the scenes every payment settles on a blockchain, and balances are shown in dollars because the crypto Numpay uses is pegged 1:1 to the US dollar.
  • No bank account, seed phrase or wallet app needed. You sign in with a code sent to your mobile number or email.
  • No gas fees for users. Numpay pays the network fee for every transfer.
  • Pay people who haven’t joined yet. Their money waits safely and moves to them automatically when they first sign in.
  • Request money with a link. Ask a specific person, or share a link anyone can pay.
