In latest Pi Network update, the Pi team has added a third fiat on-ramp feature into its payment ecosystem. The move follows user complaints about persistent issues with the Onramp Money platform.
In a fresh update on the Pi Network wallet, TransFi has been added as a new on-ramp, sitting alongside existing partners Banxa and Onramp Money. Users noticed the new fiat option shortly after Onramp Money confirmed Pi purchases would not be available till August. With Transfi, Pioneers can now purchase the token using popular payment methods like credit cards, Apple Pay, and Google Pay.
Previously, Pi Network users frequently had to deal with risky and complicated processes like peer-to-peer trades, transfers to exchanges, and closed mainnet transfers. Users can buy Pi in a single, simplified step thanks to the integration of its onramp capabilities.
Vilnius-based fintech firm TransFi brings impressive global coverage to Pi Network’s payments infrastructure. It supports fiat purchases in over 85 markets and enables transactions through more than 250 payment methods, including open banking and real-time networks. This means that more Pioneers in Asia, Europe, and other areas can buy Pi coins easily, without needing complicated steps.
One standout example is the Philippines, where TransFi now allows Pi purchases directly via local payment app GCash. Meanwhile, users in Hungary have noticed that TransFi offers more competitive exchange rates than some existing options, adding further appeal.
This strategic expansion follows recent challenges with Onramp Money, which has yet to complete its Pi Network integration. In an update, Onramp Money stated that although it had received several enquiries from users who couldn’t see the Pi coins they had bought, the integration was still in progress and that an official rollout was now anticipated in August 2025.
The company urged users to avoid further transactions until the process is finalized, promising that stuck transactions would be resolved once the system goes live.
Notably, TransFi has official certifications, including ISO 27001 and AICPA – SOC. This gives credibility to Pi Network’s growth while keeping compliance and security in focus. While Onramp Money works on its technical issues, Pi Network’s partnership with TransFi allows users to buy PI directly with regular currency.
Pi Network’s integration of TransFi helps resolve issues users have faced with existing payment options. It also gives Pioneers greater flexibility by expanding their range of fiat on-ramp choices. With these integrations (Banxa and TransFi), the project now covers over 100 countries, aligning with its goal to democratize access to cryptocurrency.
