what's Noah?

Noah is a global payments platform designed to empower connectivity between traditional banking and digital finance using stablecoins and blockchain technology. It provides infrastructure for seamless cross-border transactions, enabling users to access virtual bank accounts in USD and EUR that settle instantly into stablecoins. By integrating with networks like Lightning for Bitcoin and partnering with ecosystems such as Celo, Noah facilitates low-cost, fast money movement for consumers and businesses, particularly in emerging markets. The platform operates as a bridge between fiat and crypto rails, allowing payments via modern systems like Pix, UPI, and M-Pesa to connect with on-chain networks. Noah's progressive web app ensures accessibility across devices, supporting features like Lightning addresses for easy Bitcoin transfers and referral programs to build community. Backed by significant seed funding, it focuses on onboarding the next billion users to digital money without replacing national payment systems but enhancing their interoperability.

Noah partnered with NALA for stablecoin cross-border payments between Africa and the U.S.
