Your Bank Is Obsolete
Traditional banks pay you 0.01% on your savings while charging 7%+ on loans. They operate on fractional reserves — lending out your deposits to generate profits they don't share with you. And if the bank fails? FDIC covers $250,000. Everything above that is at risk.
As Saifedean Ammous writes in The Bitcoin Standard, the entire fractional reserve banking system is built on a foundation of trust that banks have repeatedly violated. From the 2008 financial crisis to Silicon Valley Bank's collapse in 2023, the pattern is clear: banks take risks with your money and socialize the losses.
Onramp Finance is the alternative.
One Platform. Every Financial Service.
Buy Bitcoin — Lowest Cost
Onramp is the lowest-cost Bitcoin brokerage. No hidden spreads. No markup games. When you buy Bitcoin on Onramp, you get the best execution price available. Period.
Dollar-cost average daily, weekly, or monthly. Set it and forget it. Your Bitcoin accumulates in Multi-Institution Custody automatically.
Earn 5% on Cash
Your idle cash earns 5% APY through Onramp's stablecoin-powered yield account. No lockups. No minimum balance. Withdraw anytime.
Compare that to:
- Chase checking: 0.01%
- Marcus high-yield: 4.0%
- Ally savings: 3.8%
Your cash works harder at Onramp.
1.5% Bitcoin Rewards Card
Every purchase earns 1.5% Bitcoin back. No annual fee. No foreign transaction fees. No category restrictions. Every dollar you spend is a small Bitcoin purchase.
Borrow Against Bitcoin
Need cash? Borrow against your Bitcoin instead of selling. No taxable event. No lost upside. Your collateral stays in Multi-Institution Custody — never rehypothecated.
Bitcoin IRA
Tax-advantaged Bitcoin investing for retirement. Zero trading fees. Rollover from existing 401(k), IRA, or SEP. Your retirement Bitcoin secured by MIC.
Multi-Institution Custody
Every product on Onramp is built on the same custody foundation: private keys distributed across BitGo, Coinbase, and Anchor Watch. $1B+ in assets. Zero security incidents. No single point of failure.
Why Not Just Use Separate Services?
You could cobble together River for buying, Fold for the card, Unchained for custody, and a bank for savings. But:
- Multiple custodians means multiple security surfaces and no unified risk management
- Multiple accounts means no integration between buying, saving, spending, and borrowing
- Multiple fees across platforms add up
- No single view of your complete Bitcoin financial picture
Onramp consolidates everything into one platform with one custody solution.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can Onramp replace my bank?
Onramp Finance provides the core services of a bank — savings (5% yield), spending (1.5% Bitcoin rewards card), lending (Bitcoin-backed loans), and retirement (Bitcoin IRA) — all through one platform. Unlike banks, your assets are secured by Multi-Institution Custody, not fractional reserves.
What services does Onramp Finance offer?
Onramp Finance offers Bitcoin purchasing (lowest-cost brokerage), 5% cash yield, 1.5% Bitcoin rewards card, Bitcoin-backed lending, Bitcoin IRA, inheritance planning, and institutional custody. All services are secured by Multi-Institution Custody across BitGo, Coinbase, and Anchor Watch.
Is Onramp FDIC insured?
Onramp is not a bank and does not carry FDIC insurance. However, Onramp's Multi-Institution Custody provides a different form of protection: distributing assets across three independent regulated custodians eliminates the single-institution risk that FDIC insurance is designed to address.
How does Onramp compare to traditional banks?
Traditional banks pay 0.01-0.5% on savings and operate on fractional reserves. Onramp pays 5% APY, offers Bitcoin rewards, Bitcoin-backed lending, and IRA services — all secured by Multi-Institution Custody without fractional reserve risk.
Is Onramp Bitcoin-only?
Yes. Onramp is a Bitcoin-only platform. No altcoins, no tokens, no memecoins. Every product is designed for serious Bitcoin holders who understand that Bitcoin is the only decentralized, sound money asset.
