Direct Bank Transfers

The username is the bank account.

Send money to a Monet user by username and it lands in their bank account automatically. Venmo’s simplicity. Zelle’s settlement. On rails that reach 120+ countries.

Send to a name

Type a username, enter an amount, hit send. No wallet addresses to decode, no account numbers to copy. It feels like sending a text.

It arrives as cash

The money lands in the recipient’s linked bank account as ordinary dollars, same-day. They see “funds available” — not a token to figure out how to cash.

Monet never sees your bank

Your account and routing numbers go straight to Bridge, our regulated banking partner. Monet only holds a meaningless token — there’s nothing sensitive on our side to lose.

How a transfer works

One tap on the sender’s side. Underneath, Monet moves value on the fastest rail available and settles it as dollars in the recipient’s bank — without either person thinking about crypto.

1You send $250 to a username. It leaves your balance as USDC and settles in seconds.
2Monet resolves the recipient behind that username and delivers the funds to their Monet wallet.
3If they’ve linked a bank, their own offramp sweeps it straight to their account — same-day ACH.
4They see “$250.00 — funds available.” They never see USDC. They never see the rail.

Your bank details, tokenized

When you link a bank account, those details — account number, routing number — are never stored by Monet. They go directly to Bridge, our regulated banking-infrastructure partner, which holds them under bank-grade security and hands Monet back one thing: a token.

That token is a meaningless reference. It isn’t your account number, and it can’t be reversed into it. Monet uses it to instruct a payout — “send funds to the account behind token X” — but never holds, sees, or stores the underlying credentials. Even in the worst case, there is nothing sensitive on our side to lose.

Why this is different

Identity is a username, not an address

You pay a person, not a 44-character wallet string. The address is derived and hidden. Social identity replaces cryptographic identity.

The endpoints are dollars

Money comes in as dollars and goes out to a bank as dollars. Crypto only exists in the middle, invisibly — your mental model never leaves USD.

The offramp is the default, not a chore

Once a recipient’s bank is linked, incoming transfers can land in their bank automatically. No manual “cash out,” no exchange, no withdrawal wait. It’s just how a transfer behaves.

If the recipient hasn’t linked a bank, the money simply stays in their Monet balance — ready to spend on a card, hold as dollars, or send onward. No one is ever worse off; a linked bank just unlocks the automatic hop.
