At Novacrust, we’re building a borderless payment experience for freelancers, remote workers, and businesses by making it easy to receive and move money across different channels.

A few months ago, we launched USD Accounts in your name, allowing you to receive ACH and Wire transfers seamlessly, convert your funds to local currencies, and even send money to others directly from your dashboard.

Since then, many of you, especially freelancers and remote teams, have asked if we could make receiving payments even more flexible with options like Zelle, Cash App, PayPal, Revolut, and payment links.

We listened.
