Meru empowers individuals across Latin America—from freelancers and content creators to professionals, entrepreneurs, and everyday citizens—to protect their savings from local currency volatility by accessing US dollar-denominated accounts. These users are also looking for flexible and easy ways to operate their balances, including withdrawing locally, receiving remittances, spending securely, and sending money across the region. Meru enables this by offering accounts that can receive payments directly from businesses or platforms like PayPal, Upwork, Deel, and Payoneer. The funds can be withdrawn via MoneyGram, sent to other people across LATAM, used for expenses and utility payments, or spent with a Meru Visa card.

The Challenge

Meru wanted to increase its value to users by offering access to the world of crypto through secure, mobile-first, non-custodial Web3 wallets, and all without compromising on its core promise of user self-custody. These wallets needed to support advanced crypto users with seamless, low-cost access to US dollars and digital assets. Additionally, the solution had to integrate smoothly with Meru’s Flutter-based app to preserve the user experience.

By integrating Portal’s mobile SDK, Meru was able to release a secure, Web3-ready product for LATAM users; they expanded functionality while reducing development time.
