Hi, we're MoonPay. We're here to onboard the world to the decentralized economy. Why? Because crypto and blockchain aren't just technologies-they're tools for global financial empowerment. They give people control over their money, their digital assets, and their future, unlocking opportunities that traditional systems have kept out of reach.
What we do At MoonPay, we're building the infrastructure that powers this new financial system. We make it easy for anyone, anywhere, to buy, sell, and trade crypto using everyday payment methods like cards, Apple Pay, PayPal, Revolut and Venmo. We provide simple tools to send, receive, and manage stablecoins, so anyone can participate in the crypto economy confidently.
Trusted by nearly 30 million customers and over 500 companies, our secure, enterprise-grade platform is driving mainstream crypto adoption worldwide.
We collaborate with innovative brands and projects to build secure, scalable solutions for a blockchain-powered future. And we're committed to doing it right-fully licensed in the U.S. and regulated across the UK, EU, Canada, and Australia-because trust and compliance are non-negotiable.
But we're just getting started. We've launched a consumer app that makes crypto accessible, intuitive, and usable for everyone, and it's growing fast. We're iterating every day to make it the best it can be.
If you believe financial freedom should be for everyone-if you believe in building a fairer, more open financial system-we want you with us. To build systems that benefit all, we need contributions from all, regardless of background.
Come build the future of payments and the decentralized economy with MoonPay. Let's make financial freedom and autonomy the new normal. Locations Supported US, New York
