No more offramps. No more 60-click rituals. No more sending crypto to your CEX just to top up your phone or order Uber. Just spending directly from your wallet


The Bando Spending Protocol is officially live on
app.bando.cool.

You can now spend your crypto directly from your wallet in a few clicks, on 30,000+ digital goods: mobile top-ups, prepaid codes, subscriptions, gaming credits, and more.


Why this matters

If you've ever tried to pay with crypto, you know the drill:

  1. Swap your tokens to something liquid

  2. Bridge them to another chain

  3. Send them to a centralized exchange

  4. Wait...

  5. Off-ramp to your bank

  6. Then finally, pay

Bando flips that experience.

We built a protocol that lets you skip the detours and spend straight from your wallet. No CEX. No fiat. No high fees. Just a clean path between your crypto and what you want to buy.

What you can do with Bando

We’re starting with the most-requested everyday purchases across the Global South and beyond:

Whether you're buying data in Lagos, paying for your Spotify in Mexico City, or gifting your cousin an Uber ride in Buenos Aires, you can do it with crypto in a few clicks.


Pay with Crypto — and Everywhere 

Our initial rollout includes Mexico, Nigeria, Kenya, Ghana, South Africa, and dozens more countries. This is just the start.

We’re starting on Celo, but we’ll expand to 20+ chains, including Solana, Arbitrum, Base, Avalanche, and Optimism.


Built for Wallets Too

If you’re building a wallet or dApp, here’s why this matters for you:

Bando turns your wallet into a real fintech product — no banking stack needed.

Real Talk from Real Users

We built Bando after talking to thousands of crypto users across LATAM and Africa. Here's what we kept hearing:

“I get airdrops and staking rewards, but I never spend them. It’s just internet points until I off-ramp.”

“I wanted to buy a course with crypto. Took me an hour to bridge and swap. Gave up.”

We’re fixing that. Because crypto isn’t just for trading. It’s for living.

No custodians. No centralized risk. Just pure, onchain fulfillment.


Try It Now

You can start spending at app.bando.cool today. No signup needed. Just connect your wallet and go.
