This partnership aims to provide users with convenient and efficient methods for depositing various fiat currencies and acquiring cryptocurrencies.
Supported Currencies and Payment Methods

- Users in Nigeria, United Arab Emirates, and Mexico can deposit NGN, AED, and MXN respectively through bank transfers.
- Vietnamese users have the option to use VietQR, a mobile QR code payment system, for VND deposits.
This diverse range of supported currencies offers users flexibility and ease in converting between crypto and fiat currencies.
Zero-Fee Offer and Enhanced User Experience
Bitget is extending a zero-fee offer for all cryptocurrencies as part of this integration, complementing its existing policy of fee-free Bitcoin (BTC) and Ethereum (ETH) transactions. This move aims to enhance the overall user experience and make cryptocurrency trading more accessible.
Bitget’s Focus on Emerging Markets
Bitget’s partnership with OnRamp is strategically aimed at targeting emerging markets and providing users with familiar banking channels to acquire cryptocurrencies without incurring additional fees. OnRamp’s compatibility with various blockchain networks and developer-centric approach ensures a seamless onboarding process for new users.
OnRamp’s emphasis on accessibility in emerging markets is evident in its integration of popular services like UPI and IMPS in regions such as India. These integrations help reduce transaction failure rates, thereby improving user accessibility and experience.
Driving Mass Adoption of Crypto
