BUFI On-Ramp & Off-Ramp: Convert Between Fiat and USDC
BUFI converts fiat currency to USDC (on-ramp) and USDC to fiat (off-ramp) via regulated payment processors. The Alfred rail covers ten LATAM and APAC corridors — MXN, ARS, BRL, COP, CLP, PEN, BOB, DOP, HKD, and CNY — over local bank rails, alongside USD and EUR through Bridge, with 1-3 business day settlement to bank accounts.
The Problem
Businesses that operate with stablecoins need to move money between crypto and fiat constantly: receive client payments in fiat and convert to USDC treasury, or spend from USDC treasury and convert to fiat for rent and salaries. Each conversion today requires a separate exchange, separate KYC, and separate fees. BUFI integrates on-ramp and off-ramp directly into the financial workflow.
