Core Wallet Introduces Direct Bank and Card Onramps for Seamless Crypto Funding
New York, NY, July 22nd, 2025, Chainwire
Core, Avalanche’s native wallet, has launched a streamlined onramping experience that allows users to fund their wallets directly using everyday financial tools like bank accounts and debit cards. Powered by Meld, the new feature eliminates the need to route through centralized exchanges, offering a simpler, more direct path from fiat to crypto.
Traditionally, getting started with crypto has meant navigating multiple platforms – moving money from a bank to an exchange, converting it to crypto, and then transferring it to a wallet. For new users and seasoned crypto natives alike, this fragmented process creates unnecessary friction. Core’s new onramp reimagines this journey as a seamless flow from the tools users already know into the decentralized web.
“Accessing crypto shouldn’t feel like solving a puzzle,” said Akash Gupta, Vice President of Core. “We’ve designed Core’s onramps to mirror how people already manage their finances – through their banks, cards, and trusted payment platforms. It’s a big step toward making onchain access feel as smooth as any other digital experience.”
Core now supports funding through a wide range of services, including:
- Bank accounts
- Debit cards
- Coinbase
- Blockchain.com
- Stripe
- Shift4
- Transak
- Topper
- Unlimit
- Paybis
Additional onramp providers such as Binance Connect, Alchemy Pay, and Revolut will be added soon, expanding Core’s compatibility with global payment methods and fintech apps.
Once funds are deposited, users can easily convert to USDC, then seamlessly swap into any supported token – whether on Avalanche or one of Core’s many multichain partners. By simplifying these steps, Core ensures users spend less time navigating logistics and more time exploring the decentralized applications they care about.
This onramping upgrade reflects Core’s ongoing mission to make Web3 more accessible, intuitive, and convenient for everyone. Available now across Core’s mobile app, browser extension, and at core.app, the new feature empowers users to get onchain faster – with fewer steps and no detours.
