One size never fits everyone. Some users need occasional access. Some use Scallop every day. Some want the lowest fees possible. Choose the plan that fits you. Upgrading takes less than a minute.

Why does spending still require so many steps? Gold. Stocks. Tokenized assets. Most platforms make you sell, convert and move assets before you can spend them. We think that step should disappear. Choose an asset. Top up your card. Scallop handles the rest. Available today for fiat, stablecoins and supported digital assets. Additional asset classes are part of our long-term vision.

@Scallopcom asked what I'd add to the ultimate money app. But I need you to understand something first. I have held three currencies in my head at the same time — naira in my local bank account, dollars just sitting somewhere I can’t have access to, crypto that was "technically worth something" but can’t pay for anything. My whole financial life has been a mental gymnastics in translation: How much is this in dollars? What's the rate today? Which app can even receive this? That is the problem Scallop is solving. Right now, Scallop already lets you hold multiple currencies in one account: naira, dollars, euros, pounds, rupees and more without the drama of opening five accounts in five different banks that each require six forms of ID and probably the blood of your ancestors. They also have a digital asset wallet, so your crypto isn't stranded in a separate app. There are virtual cards for online payments, QR codes for physical payments, and (this one genuinely surprised me) eSIMs. Which means you can land in Dubai or India or UK and buy local data directly from your money app. Hotels, flights, and travel insurance are coming. So the app is basically building toward: go anywhere, pay for anything, in any currency, from one place and for that, they have my maximum Respect. But since they asked, here is what I would add. Offline payments that actually work. Not the type that'll just tell you "no internet connection" and give up. I mean the type that allows me to generate a payment code when I'm shopping in the market and network decides to ghost me. Here is how the whole idea works, from my phone to the trader's. When I open my Scallop app, it pre-loads a small bundle of one-time payment codes tied to my account and stores them on my phone. No internet needed to generate them. I am wherever I am and network disappears, I open the app, tap "pay offline," set the amount, and a short alphanumeric code appears on my screen. I show it to the person I'm transacting with or read it out loud to him. The person does not need a smartphone, he does not need data. He does not need a POS machine or a QR scanner or a bank account with tier three KYC documentation. All he needs is a phone number and a SIM card. He dials a USSD string (the same technology behind every *737# and *919# shortcode used by traditional banks here), he enters the code I just gave him and confirms. He gets an SMS. I also get an SMS. The payment is queued. The moment either one of us gets a signal, the transaction settles automatically. The money is ring-fenced from the moment I generate the code, meaning it is set aside and cannot be touched or spent twice before the transaction closes. The code expires in ten to fifteen minutes if unused. When the network returns, everything reconciles on the backend without any of us doing anything. No hardware. No internet. No smartphone on his end. This is not a new technology. Banks use token-based authentication that works on this same logic. The idea is that instead of the code unlocking my account, it unlocks a specific pre-approved transaction amount. @Scallopcom has the bones of something that could replace three to five apps most people in this country are currently juggling. All that’s left is for it to be made flesh and dwell amongst us and I strongly believe it’ll be achieved.
We’ve built: ✅ Multi-currency accounts ✅ Digital asset wallet ✅ QR payments ✅ Virtual cards ✅ eSIMs Hotels, flights and travel insurance are next. What would you add if you were building the ultimate money app?

Most people expect onboarding to be painful. This took about a minute.

Some people asked if you need to create an account before verification. You do. It just takes about 10 seconds, so we honestly forgot to mention it.

Europe uses IBANs. The UK uses Sort Codes. The US uses Routing Numbers. International transfers use SWIFT. None of that should be your problem. Open Scallop. Move money. Done.

Month 1: Lisbon. Paid the landlord in EUR. Month 2: Mexico City. Bought groceries in MXN. Month 3: Bali. Booked a scooter in IDR. Same balance. Same card. Same app. Never opened a new "local account." Never explained to a bank why I'm not where they think I should be.
