Noah and Portal bring bank accounts and payouts to wallets

By Vriti Gothi

Global payments infrastructure provider Noah has partnered with stablecoin platform Portal to enable virtual bank accounts, instant settlement, and cross-border payouts directly inside applications built on Portal’s wallet infrastructure.

The integration marks the first time developers building stablecoin-based apps can embed bank account issuance, fiat deposits, stablecoin settlement, and multi-market payouts natively at the wallet layer. Users will be able to add funds via virtual bank transfers in major currencies, have deposits automatically converted to stablecoins, and send money to more than 70 markets across Latin America, Africa, Asia, and Europe.

Under the partnership, Noah will provide hosted onboarding for KYC and issue virtual account details, creating a single regulated entry point for consumers. Noah’s infrastructure will sit as a native module within Portal’s developer stack, alongside identity, key management, compliance, swaps, and yield tooling—forming what both firms describe as a unified, end-to-end flow from bank transfer to stablecoin-based actions and global payouts.

For developers, the partnership removes the need to secure licensing, manage settlement systems, or integrate external banking connections. Instead, compliant money movement—from fiat entry to international delivery can be deployed directly inside applications that rely on Portal’s stablecoin rails.

The development comes amid rising demand for wallet-native experiences, particularly in markets where dependable settlement and local payout options are critical. Portal and Noah highlighted Latin America as a priority region, citing user demand for fast delivery, currency flexibility, and access to modern financial services without traditional intermediaries.

The announcement also arrives during a period of sustained stablecoin growth, with the sector reportedly expanding to around $200 billion in 2025. That growth is intensifying the need for stablecoin-linked upgrades to onboarding, settlement, and payout infrastructure inside consumer and enterprise applications.

Shah Ramezani, Founder of Noah, called the integration a milestone for the sector. “Noah will be the first provider to bring virtual bank accounts and more than 70 global payout rails directly into wallet infrastructure. In markets like Latin America, where real-world settlement is essential, our combined stack removes months of integration work and lets teams launch instantly,” he said.
