Algorand Foundation and Noah have announced a strategic partnership to connect traditional finance and decentralized finance through seamless, compliant payment infrastructure. The collaboration was unveiled during AlgoDay at DevConnect 2025, where Min Wei, Chief Business Officer of Algorand Foundation, and Shah Ramezani, CEO & Founder of Noah, highlighted how the integration will empower builders across the Algorand ecosystem in the US, Europe, and India.
The partnership enables businesses and developers building on Algorand to access Noah’s regulated payment infrastructure, including virtual bank accounts for EUR and USD payments. Algorand’s ecosystem consists of builders and enterprises across DeFi, stablecoins, real-world asset tokenization, and humanitarian aid. Algorand and Noah’s integration presents a critical opportunity for humanitarian aid and financial inclusion use cases on Algorand, such as HesabPay and the Aid Trust Portal.
The Aid Trust Portal and HesabPay have enabled transparent, tamper-proof aid disbursements in conflict and disaster-affected regions, where traditional financial infrastructure is unreliable or inaccessible. Virtual bank accounts powered by Noah and Algorand have the potential to accelerate the delivery of aid to these vulnerable communities.
This integration provides the foundation for payment-related use cases within wallets, stablecoin neobanks, and fintech platforms, allowing users to seamlessly move value between traditional offchain payment rails and on-chain rails through Algorand. Together, Noah and Algorand are simplifying value movement across global economies to deliver faster settlements, with lower costs and greater regulatory confidence.
“This partnership highlights Algorand’s continued focus on empowering real-world financial use cases, from cross-border payments to tokenized real-world assets,” said Min Wei, Chief Business Officer of Algorand Foundation. “The integration with Noah is key in bridging the gap between decentralized finance and traditional financial systems and paves the way for builders on Algorand to continue to drive compliant, innovative, and impactful financial products on-chain.”
“Noah’s infrastructure extends to support the Algorand ecosystem, opening the door for companies and institutions to build products that combine the stability of traditional finance with the efficiency of blockchain technology,” said Shah Ramezani, CEO & Founder of Noah. “Partnering with Algorand allows us to support a new generation of builders who are merging traditional finance with decentralized technologies to create more open, inclusive financial systems.”
The partnership cements Algorand’s position as the blockchain of choice for institutions and builders seeking both scalability and sustainability, and underscores Noah’s commitment to bridging the worlds of traditional and decentralized finance. From an initial phase, Algorand ecosystem implementations are planned for 2026.
