Starting today, anyone using MiniPay, the wallet built into Opera and powered by Celo, can now spend crypto with Bando. This means users in India can finally go beyond holding and trading. They can use stablecoins and tokens to pay for real products and services, right from their wallet. No conversions. No off-ramps. No banks.

Built for real life, not speculation

For too long, using crypto in India has meant dealing with complicated swaps, bridging between chains, converting to fiat, and transferring to a bank account. That process can take hours, if not days.

Bando changes that. Inside the MiniPay wallet, Indian users can now access a full suite of crypto payment options, all onchain and all available in a few taps.

What you can pay for

Designed for India and the Global South

India is the latest country to go live in Bando’s growing global network, following launches in Mexico, Nigeria, and more. These regions share a common reality: people want financial tools that are mobile-first, low-cost, and actually useful.

Bando is built specifically for that world. It works with over 10 blockchains, supports thousands of tokens, and doesn’t rely on centralized exchanges or banks. Users can spend their airdrops, staking rewards, or earnings without having to cash out.

Why are wallets integrating Bando?

For wallets like MiniPay, adding Bando isn’t just about utility. It’s about unlocking a high-margin, daily-use feature that users actually want.
