Payflip is a dollar wallet with usernames. Send USDC or USDT to an email, @handle, phone or QR. The recipient picks how to receive, and if they don't claim it, the money comes back to you. Non-custodial. Fee shown before you send.
Hi Product Hunt π
We're Flip Labs, the small team behind Payflip.
The question that started all of this: why do you need to know where someone's money lives before you can pay them?
Pay a friend abroad and you're asking for an IBAN or a SWIFT code. Pay them in crypto and you're asking for a wallet address, then checking which network, then checking which token. One wrong character and the money is gone. Meanwhile you already know the one thing that actually matters, which is who you want to pay.
So that's what Payflip is built around. You pay the person, not the account.
How it works
Pick the person by something you already have on them: email, @handle, phone number, or scan their QR. Type the amount. Send.
If they're on Payflip, it lands in their balance. If they're not, you can still pay them. The money waits, and they claim it when they join. If nobody ever claims it, it comes back to you on its own. No ticket, no chasing.
You can even start a payment before you have an account. We spin up a temporary wallet in the background and you fund it when you're ready to finish.
What's underneath
Payflip runs on USDC and USDT across the networks we support, but you should rarely have to think about which one. You see one balance. Top up with a card through MoonPay where it's available, or send supported stablecoins straight to your Payflip wallet.
It's non-custodial. The wallet is yours. We can't move your balance or freeze it.
Stablecoins, wallets, networks and routing are the plumbing. Our job is to keep the plumbing out of your way.
Where this goes
Today Payflip is stablecoin payments. The direction is wider than that: pay anyone you can name, from anything you have, to anything they want. The sender picks who. The receiver picks how. We handle the middle. Over time that means more identities, more ways to pay in and more ways to pay out, without the app getting any harder to use.
Money should move like a text.
Two things we'd love to hear from you
Where do you send money today that feels harder than it should?
If someone paid you through just your email, phone number or @handle, what would make that feel trustworthy?
We're in the comments all day. Ask anything, try to break it, tell us what's confusing.
Thanks for checking out Payflip π
