Hey Product Hunt! We created Wind.app out of frustration with high fees and having our own funds frozen for weeks by a platform 😡. Today, we (and many others) use Wind to pay our global team in 10+ countries at the best rates using a self-custody wallet ⚡️ We're based out of Asia (s/o Singapore! 🇸🇬) and in this region going between fiat and crypto is still complex and expensive. Our Payouts tool is showcased here today, but we're building the underlying infrastructure to tackle this head-on. We're already live with every bank, e-wallet, and exchange in the Philippines and have developer docs ready for you to build on 🛠️ Join us in simplifying cross-border payments. And definitely, let us know what you think. Your feedback is invaluable! 🙌 Cheers 🥂 Fahad on behalf of the Wind Team
@amdfad Beyond Excited to show case Wind to the Product Hunt Community. We dropped a thread on how the product is different on Twitter/X below 👇 https://twitter.com/WindAppHQ/st... Let me know if there is anyway I can help you with on/off ramps and cross border payments :) My contact details are at my profile :)

Hello, Fahad! Finally, I found a really spectacular product in this category. Congrats! Can I use your platform in any place and any country absolutely free?
Fahad ⚡️
@alexanderptitsyn Hi Alexander! You can send and receive funds from anywhere. Adding money is possible from the US, Singapore, UAE, and more. Cash-out is available in the Philippines and India, while off-ramping to exchanges is accessible in 10+ countries. We're actively working on expanding our coverage to more countries. 🙏
Momcilo Stojkovic
@amdfad Sounds like a promising solution for cross-border payments. Great to see your progress in the Philippines! Any plans for further expansion beyond Asia? Curious to know. Thanks for sharing!
@mocarg As the product is self-custodial, anyone can open up the account from anywhere in the world and start using it! You can on/off ramp in US, and SEA currently, however, you can also take your money through an exchange and use!

I didn't see a pricing table on your website. Im curious: If I deposit $ 10k USDC. And want to move that to my Norwegian bank account. How much would it cost in percentage? How much would you take for this service? And Can it be used to pay employees etc?
Fahad ⚡️
@sentry_co Hi André! We charge 0.5% + $5 at the current prevailing market rate. For example, if you want to move $10,000 USDC to NOK, it will cost you $55 in fees and we will deposit (10,000-55) * 10.9 = 107,406 NOK in your bank (assuming you want it in NOK and not USD. Currently, we don't directly support NOK but you can request a manual disbursement and we will process that within 24 hours. Our business dashboard can be used to batch-send USDC to any of your employees anywhere in the world :) Let me know if you have any questions or happy to jump in a call https://zcal.co/elius/30min

💡 Bright idea
@amdfad Thanks. Great breakdown. Its hard to off-ramp these days without getting stuck in legal tape. I will reach out!

@amdfad And for payroll. Can I use it to deposit employees to their bank accounts in fiat. On say a regular interval? So USDC -> Employee bank account? With the same rates?
Fahad ⚡️
@sentry_co Yes, for the countries we currently support you definitely can. And if you let us know which other countries you need we can also try to support!
André J
@amdfad Modern workforces are global so preferably as many as possible. Hong Kong, Norway, France, UK would be relevant

Cool product! Especially the api makes it more interesting. Would love to see if we can potentially integrate with AuctionVilla Bangladesh platform. Best wishes on the launch.

💎 Pixel perfection
Ngl, I've seen hundreds of USDC/T tunnels but no app comes close to the super simple UI you've put together. I hope more and more businesses join Wind. Great product.
Fahad ⚡️
@realvivektiwari Thanks Vivek 🙌 We're creating a product we can comfortably use ourselves so the user experience is very important to us ❤️
santhiaroo
It is a very cool product and has so much potential. I will definitely try it to pay some of our team.
@santhiaroo Awesome - let me know how I can help with your onboarding. Just send me a msg if you get stuck anywhere! https://www.linkedin.com/in/elvi...

Curious to see a breakdown in costs comparing Wind to Wise. We're in the UK and we have team members in many countries, but currently paying our team in the Philippines from our USD account directly to their bank accounts (in PHP). Do you have a comparison page with the costs + fees?
@thiagodecarvalho That's a good feedback - we currently don't have that page. But I can share with you that our pricing is 0.4% + $0.2 for cash out in PH. More directly - Wise charges $8.42 for transferring $1000 to PHP. We charge $4.2, half the amount!
Thiago de Carvalho
@elvista Hi Hussain, great to know! Curious, how do I deposit USD from a business bank account (E.g.: Wise) and what's the fee to turn it into USDC?
Anton Cherkasov
It's really frustrating when fees are high and funds get frozen. I had a similar experience with a different platform and it was not fun at all. It's great that Wind is helping people pay their global team in different countries at the best rates.

@a007mr Thanks Anton 🔥🚀 Appreciate your support 🙌

@amdfad Launching with Google is not equal to launching any other day. I hope you still be able to crack and find your spot. Loved that logo and animation. Good luck :)

@neelptl2602 Haha you get it! 😂 We're already getting lots of traffic so hoping for the best 🙌 Appreciate your support!

Great to know
Rami - Browsingbuddies.com
Is this similar to Wize?
Fahad ⚡️
@kingromstar Hi Rami! Good question! Some key differences are that we are self-custodial (we can't block your account even if we tried) and allow you to earn upto 7% APY on your saving, wherever you are! ✨ We created Wind.app out of frustration with high fees and having our own funds frozen for weeks by a platform 😡. Today, we (and many others) use Wind to pay our global team in 10+ countries at the best rates using a self-custody wallet ⚡️

Currently only support India an Phillipines? I'm in need of something like this for France and USA
@alexandre_camilleri We support USA and and Europe! Try it out. Let me know if you need any help during on/off ramps!
Alexandre Camilleri
@elvista Oh I missed it somehow? I only displayed Phillipine and India in app
Alexandre Camilleri
@elvista i’ve no deposited 1000 usdc worth of matic to my wallet but I cannot see in the mobile app nor swap them, but the wallet does show the balance on the explorer. How to troubleshoot? Edit: the app does not specify deposit currency anywhere
@alexandre_camilleri send me a DM with the username you signed up with - I'll troubleshoot

Hey guys! Wonderfull stuff. Wanted to know where can I find links to your API docs?
Fahad ⚡️
@hachibur_rahaman Hi Hachibur! Check out the docs here 👉 https://docs.wind.app/ and ofcourse, get in touch with us if you have questions :)
Lubna Amber
Will it be easy to do freelancing with it?
Jake Tital
Much needed tool. Really cool to see you addressing this problem. How did you handle the security measures?
@jaketital All the wallet are self-custodial. Which means that only you have access to your funds. No one, including us, can't ever access your funds!
