About Onboard
Onboard is a non-custodial crypto wallet that lets users fully control their private keys and digital assets. Its core value lies in self-custody, multi-chain support, and a simplified user experience, aiming to replace traditional browser extension wallets with a more secure and user-friendly approach.
The market pain point it addresses is the asset security risk and trust issue in centralized exchanges and custodial wallets. By allowing users to hold private keys themselves, Onboard reduces the risk of exchange hacks or fund freezes, giving users true ownership of their assets.
Regarding development in the past six months (2026-02-28 to 2026-08-31), no reliable public information was found. Specific progress, new features, or partnerships during this period could not be confirmed from official channels or credible third-party sources.
Key progress from Mar 1 to Sep 1, 2026:
- Launched DeFi wallet third-party transfers, allowing users to send funds directly from self-custodial wallets to any bank account, bridging on-chain and fiat rails.
- Upgraded virtual USD cards to the Flex card system, featuring lower fees, higher acceptance, and Tap to Pay via Apple/Google Pay.
- Introduced Amani, a 24/7 AI support assistant.
- Optimized USD account approvals to under 45 minutes, plus dynamic account details and NGN transaction narrations.
Official roadmap for Q2 and beyond:
- Global banking: GBP and EUR accounts in users' own names for receiving payments and local currency conversion.
- Institutional-grade services: Onboard for Business for enterprise financial management.
- Worldwide reach: Expansion to USD SWIFT payments alongside ACH and Wire transfers.
- Direct P2P transfers: Instant transfers between Onboard users via email or Board Pass.
