OneDosh has secured $3 million in pre-seed funding to develop a stablecoin-powered payments infrastructure focused on fast, reliable cross-border transfers.
The round enables the company to scale operations, expand currency corridors, and strengthen liquidity and compliance infrastructure.
The platform is already live in the United States and Nigeria, allowing users to send funds from the U.S. to Nigeria, hold value in stablecoins, and spend globally through stablecoin-backed virtual and physical cards integrated with Apple Pay and Google Pay.
These cards are accepted anywhere Visa operates, providing near-instant access to funds without traditional banking intermediaries.
Core Infrastructure and Value Proposition
OneDosh leverages stablecoins to address persistent inefficiencies in cross-border payments: high fees, multi-day settlement times, limited transparency, and restricted access to foreign currency accounts.
By routing transfers through stablecoin rails, the platform delivers:
- Near-instant settlement between supported corridors
- Significantly lower transaction costs compared with legacy correspondent banking
- Stable value storage that eliminates FX volatility exposure during transit
- Seamless spending via globally accepted card rails
The architecture combines regulated stablecoin on-ramps and off-ramps with programmable money movement, creating a foundation for borderless, 24/7 financial flows.
OneDosh is building the rails to make money movement seamless and reliable across borders. The problem isn’t demand, it’s the infrastructure

Team Expertise and Strategic Focus
The founding team brings deep experience from regulated payments, compliance, and large-scale product environments, including prior roles at ZeroHash, Plaid, and Amazon.
This background informs the company’s emphasis on:
- Full regulatory compliance across jurisdictions
- Robust KYC/AML controls
- Reliable liquidity partnerships
- High-availability payment rails
The $3 million pre-seed capital will support corridor expansion beyond the initial U.S.–Nigeria route, deepening liquidity arrangements, and hiring senior engineering, compliance, and growth talent.
Positioning in the African and Emerging-Market Context
Cross-border payments remain one of the most expensive and slowest financial services for African businesses, diaspora communities, and international trade participants.
Traditional channels often impose fees of 6–12% and settlement delays of 1–5 business days. OneDosh’s stablecoin-based approach directly targets these frictions, offering a programmable, low-cost alternative that aligns with growing adoption of digital dollars and other stable assets in emerging markets.

The platform also enables new use cases, including recurring remittances, B2B trade settlements, freelance payments, and digital wallet top-ups, positioning OneDosh as foundational infrastructure for programmable money movement in frontier economies.
OneDosh’s $3 million pre-seed raise and live U.S.–Nigeria corridor mark an early but meaningful step toward rebuilding cross-border payment rails using stablecoin technology.
By delivering near-instant, low-cost transfers and globally spendable stablecoin-backed cards, the company addresses longstanding infrastructure gaps that have constrained financial flows into and out of Africa.
As of January 22, 2026, this development reflects continued momentum in stablecoin-enabled fintech solutions tailored to emerging-market realities.
