Case Study: Neobanks Use TransFi to Provide Digital Dollar Access in Emerging Markets

In many emerging markets, consumers face one common challenge: access to stable, reliable currencies like the U.S. dollar. Local currencies often suffer from inflation, limited convertibility, or strict banking barriers. For digital-first banks, solving this challenge is both an opportunity and a responsibility.

That’s why neobanks are turning to TransFi. By integrating stablecoin-powered rails, they provide customers with digital dollar access through USDC and USDT accounts, enabling safe savings, instant cross-border transfers, and improved financial inclusion.

In this TransFi case study, we’ll explore how neobanks in emerging markets are using stablecoins to unlock USD access, drive adoption, and overcome the limitations of traditional FX systems.

The Challenge: Limited USD Access in Emerging Markets

For millions of consumers and businesses in developing economies, USD access is out of reach:

Currency volatility erodes purchasing power.
Strict banking systems restrict foreign currency accounts.
Cross-border banking barriers make it hard to save or transact in USD.
High FX costs reduce the value of remittances and payments.

This leaves consumers trapped in unstable local currencies, with limited options for secure savings or global transactions. Neobanks saw an opportunity to bridge this gap.

The Solution: Digital Dollar Neobank Integration via TransFi

By partnering with TransFi, neobanks built digital dollar accounts powered by stablecoins. Instead of navigating costly correspondent banking systems, they now rely on stablecoin rails for fast, low-cost, borderless access.

Key features of TransFi for neobanks:

Stablecoin access in emerging markets through USDC and USDT.
Instant settlement rails for USD transfers and payments.
Embedded APIs → easy integration into digital banking apps.
Cross-border digital banking capabilities, enabling seamless remittances and global payments.

This gave customers direct access to digital dollars inside their neobank apps, expanding financial inclusion where it’s needed most.
