The global neo-bank for contractors and freelancers
Ping enables international contractors and freelancers to have access to a personal Dollar account in the US, a crypto account, and generate invoices to get paid. With Ping, workers make on average 4% more money and get paid the same day.
Ping positions itself as a platform that provides a USD account and related money management for individuals (freelancers/contractors) and companies, enabling receipt of payments globally in USD and in crypto, with features for invoicing, crypto/fiat management, and an international card. It markets itself as a global, no-fee USD account with crypto functionality and international invoicing capabilities.
Users open a free USD account in the US and can receive and manage money in dollars or cryptocurrencies. The platform supports invoicing (including recurring invoices), sending invoices worldwide, and real-time invoice status tracking. It allows operating with both fiat and crypto: storing money, transferring, converting to crypto, or withdrawing. It offers instant conversion to cryptocurrency, an international card, and the ability to fund the account via crypto. The service emphasizes global payments, international client charging, and a user-friendly onboarding with KYC and support. The platform is described as a technology platform that leverages third-party providers for fiat and crypto management, not a traditional bank.
