UR and TopNod Bring Onchain Assets to Everyday Spending with Co-Branded Mastercard

Spending digital assets in the real world today still means navigating a maze of third-party platforms, custodial transfers, and opaque fees. TopNod, a next-generation non-custodial wallet, is aiming to close that gap through a partnership with UR. TopNod users can now convert their digital assets and on-chain yields into spendable fiat and pay with a co-branded Mastercard without ever leaving TopNod's app or surrendering custody of their funds.

Unlock New Possibilities

UR’s composable stack integrates directly into TopNod’s infrastructure, so users never have to leave the app to access banking services provided by UR. This results in familiar financial features delivered natively, at low cost, within the product experience they already know.

The integration unlocks a set of capabilities that have historically required multiple apps and accounts to piece together:

  • Convert onchain yields from RWA and crypto holdings into spendable fiat across 7 currencies, drawn from over multiple supported digital assets including BTC, ETH, SOL and MNT.
  • Access on and off-ramp services across 47 jurisdictions, with 1:1 USDC-to-USD conversion and zero on/off-ramp fees.
  • Spend globally with the co-branded Mastercard issued by UR, settled directly via smart contracts — no intermediary custody and no hidden layering costs.
  • KYC compliance is handled by UR, so TopNod can onboard users without building that technology and infrastructure from scratch.

UR offers the first fully onchain banking API that is compliant, fully licensed and covers 47 jurisdictions worldwide. This is possible as UR is a registered trademark of SR Saphirstein AG, a fintech company licensed under Article 1b of the Swiss Banking Act and supervised by FINMA, the Swiss Financial Market Supervisory Authority. Assets are one-to-one and fully-backed, recorded on blockchain and can be verified on ledger: making all transactions transparent, verifiable, and tamper-proof.

Be it secure bank accounts, KYC, debit cards powered by Mastercard, instant payouts or more, UR's modular infrastructure enables users to experience seamless composable banking and transferable digital assets while keeping complete custody of their own funds.

What was once a niche workaround is becoming a baseline expectation: users want to move fluidly between digital assets and everyday spending, without friction, having to surrender control or navigating a compliance grey area. For UR, this is another point in a growing network of integrations that validate the composable banking model. And for TopNod, this collaboration signals the meaningful expansion of what it can do for the users it was built to serve.

UR is the trademark of SR Saphirstein AG (or SR Saphirstein Limited), which is a company incorporated under the laws of Switzerland with company registration number CHE-256.014.995 and has a Fintech license as a financial institution according to Article 1b of the Swiss Banking Act from and is supervised by the Swiss Financial Market Supervisory Authority (FINMA). The registered office is Bellerivestrasse 245, 8008 Zurich, Switzerland.
