Onramp Money: local payment fees, crypto delivery and transaction recovery

Onramp’s homepage advertises 480-plus tokens and 22 fiat currencies, while its about page refers to 500-plus cryptocurrencies and a different country count. These are approximate company claims checked on 21 October 2026. A total token count does not identify which network, fiat direction or payment rail is enabled for an individual order. The supported-currency and payment-method documents offer more specific route information.[1][2][14][15]

Swaps have their own lifecycle: crypto deposit, confirmation, order processing and withdrawal. The published status reference distinguishes a completed swap order from a completed token withdrawal. This matters when a user sees the conversion stage finish but has not yet received the destination asset. A displayed completion message should be interpreted against the transaction stage and destination-chain record.[24]

The quote API separates the exchange-rate estimate from Onramp’s fee, a partner’s client fee, payment-gateway cost and on-chain delivery cost. A partner may absorb some or all user fees. The off-ramp response additionally identifies any applicable tax-withholding component and the expected fiat amount paid to the bank. Example API responses are illustrations of fields, not current executable prices or universal fee percentages.[12][13][1]

These are gateway charges, not all-in trading costs. The India pay-in row prints 0.77 without specifying its unit; it should not be silently converted into a verified 0.77% tariff. Several fee tiers also leave exact threshold boundaries unclear. The complete order quote is needed where the schedule’s wording is ambiguous. A zero gateway entry does not remove exchange, partner or blockchain charges.[11][12]

The platform agreement treats displayed quotes as indicative and describes dynamically calculated transaction fees. An order’s effective cost is therefore best assessed from its final input and output, with the particular rail and network recorded. On a sale, a tax-withholding field is a deduction from the payout calculation; it is not interchangeable with an exchange commission or a statement of the customer’s final tax liability.[3][13]

The fiat-currency list identifies purchase and sale support separately. For example, it marks AED as purchase-supported with sales forthcoming, and provides several Latin American currencies as payout-only entries. Other pages are inconsistent: GBP, CAD and some African routes show broader support in the currency list than in the fee or transaction-limit tables. Those differences are unresolved here; a currency appearing in a general list is not sufficient evidence that both directions are available.[14][16][11]

An expiry period is a payment-order deadline, not a guarantee that a price will remain fixed or that funds will arrive within that period. The recovery guides distinguish a timed-out instruction from a transfer already made. That distinction is useful before creating a replacement: the existing payment may need to be claimed or attached by its transaction hash rather than sent again.[20][21][22]

The purchase guide sends crypto to an external address supplied by the customer, while the corporate agreement says the account itself is not a financial account or blockchain wallet. The corporate customer must own and control the destination wallet and may be asked to prove that ownership. Those statements describe the delivery model; they do not eliminate the period during which payment collection, conversion and transfer are still in progress.[4][8]

Onramp’s risk disclosure identifies third-party payment providers, custodians and banking partners as part of the service chain. A complete client-asset segregation arrangement and customer-specific insurance entitlement were not established from the inspected documents. The profile therefore makes no insured-balance or guaranteed-recovery claim for pending fiat or crypto. A destination-wallet transfer and a claim against an unsettled service provider are different exposures.[6]

The platform terms require account credentials to be protected and unauthorised access to be reported promptly. The buy guide uses a phone verification code; a sale can require a wallet signature to demonstrate control. The reviewed material does not establish a universal withdrawal freeze following every phone, password or device change. That absence should not be interpreted as a promise that a security review cannot delay a transaction.[3][8][9]

The status reference gives a concrete example of a hold: an off-ramp over the customer’s KYC limit can be withheld for manual review. Bank-name mismatches and incorrect payment amounts are also distinct order states. A customer investigating a delay needs the actual reason recorded against the order; a confirmed blockchain transaction alone does not show that a compliance hold has cleared.[24]

The limit table is expressed in the currency named in each row and applies per transaction. It is not a monthly allowance or a guarantee that an unverified account can transact up to the maximum. The separate KYC-tier page provides account-level limits that sometimes differ: its Philippines basic-verification purchase figure is PHP 280,000, compared with PHP 250,000 in the general transaction table. The applicable approved order limit must resolve that discrepancy.[16][17]

For India, the KYC-tier page lists Aadhaar and PAN, video verification and enhanced due diligence after the specified INR 500,000 threshold. It lists INR 500,000 per purchase and INR 2,000,000 per month for that full-verification tier. The global platform agreement also requires legal majority, an eligible jurisdiction and mandatory identity checks. A token or payment rail being displayed does not itself satisfy those account requirements.[17][3]

The KYC FAQ describes periodic re-verification and explains that requirements vary by jurisdiction. Enhanced checks can request bank statements, income evidence and tax filings. Its examples distinguish salary, self-employment, inheritance and investment proceeds, with different supporting records. Completing an initial identity check therefore does not prevent a later source-of-funds request when the transaction pattern or risk assessment changes.[18][19]

The transaction-support FAQ gives an email route but no binding response or resolution deadline. The contact page’s advertised callback within 24 hours belongs to a business-integration enquiry form. It should not be presented as a deadline for recovering a failed customer payment. Likewise, the linked system-health page is an incident-information route; its live data did not load in the research extractor, so no measured uptime figure is stated.[25][28][27]

For an interrupted sale, the documented recovery path is Sell Crypto, Sell History, the failed transaction and Resume Transaction. If crypto has already left the wallet, the flow accepts its hash. A bank-detail failure has a separate Alternate Bank option. These operational paths are more specific than retrying the purchase or sale from the beginning, and preserve a connection with the payment already under investigation.[22][23]

Consumer transaction history is available from the history control in the widget. The merchant-history API returns order identifiers, expected and actual amounts, fees and status information. The records serve different audiences: an integrating business’s API access is not evidence that every retail customer has a downloadable tax report or full CSV export. Retain executed amounts and settlement records rather than relying solely on the original estimate.[29][30]

The compliance statement dated 1 June 2026 names Buyhatke Internet Private Limited for India and FINSTAR AI Sp. z.o.o for the European Union. It describes the Indian company as FIU-IND registered and refers to affiliates or partners in other jurisdictions. This profile attributes that statement to Onramp; an independently inspected current FIU entity entry was not established. AML reporting registration should not be presented as a deposit guarantee or permission for every financial service.[5]

For Europe, the current statement does not supply a MiCA authorisation number or a complete service scope. No matching FINSTAR AI or Onramp entry was established in the ESMA file checked for this pack. This is a specific evidence gap, not a conclusion about all possible partner arrangements. The relevant entity, current permission and intended customer jurisdiction must be established together before asserting an authorised European service.[5][33]

Onramp’s about page describes a business founded in 2022 and headquartered in Bengaluru. Its 2026 narrative claims more than 1.5 million users and over 400 businesses across more than 60 countries. The homepage instead uses a 75-plus-country description. These are company-reported reach measures with differing scopes; they do not establish monthly active traders, unique funded accounts or an audited exchange-volume ranking.[2][1]

The corporate agreement says the applicable company is identified during onboarding, in the account-opening documents or in a written communication. The regional compliance statement supplies useful entity names, but it does not allocate every product and customer to a counterparty. Keeping the accepted entity notice with the transaction record is especially important for a corporate customer using more than one currency corridor.[4][5]

Corporate account closure is available by contacting the company under the agreement, while legally required records can be retained afterward. Separately, the privacy policy explains that withdrawing consent can disable a feature or, where necessary, lead to account suspension or closure. Those actions concern service access and data processing; the reviewed documents did not establish a general periodic inactivity fee.[4][7]

The webhook documentation supplies a signature-verification mechanism, expects a prompt acknowledgement and warns about duplicate event delivery. A partner that displays success before verified settlement, or credits a duplicated callback twice, can create an accounting discrepancy even when the underlying transaction is correct. Browser redirects, webhook delivery and asset settlement should therefore be reconciled as different events.[31]

The inspected integration material documents order access and authenticated API requests but does not establish a universal customer-configurable read-only permission tier or autonomous AI trading function. A partner integrating the service should distinguish access to order history from authority to create a transaction or change its wallet destination. The product’s payment automation continues an authorised flow; it should not be described as an investment strategy or a trader-following service.[30][12][32]
