Coinbase Business has gone live in Singapore, its first market outside the United States, after the product’s debut in June. The platform targets SMEs and startups that need faster settlement and simpler treasury.
It places USDC payments and asset management in one dashboard. Teams can send and receive USDC, reconcile flows, and automate routine finance tasks without switching tools.

USDC targets $1 and settles on-chain in near real time. Short settlement windows help with cross-border invoices and vendor payouts that require predictable timing.
USDC payments tools: payment links, 1% fee, instant settlement, zero chargebacks
Payment links carry a stated 1% fee per transaction. SMEs and startups can invoice globally in USDC and track receipts in the same interface.
On-chain USDC payments provide instant settlement and zero chargebacks, which differs from card rails that allow reversals. That design reduces post-delivery dispute exposure.
The account includes asset management and trading access. Teams can hold USDC, monitor balances, and, where allowed, earn USDC rewards under local rules and product terms.
“By leveraging the speed and stability of digital dollars like USDC, we offer businesses a platform that enables seamless and secure trading, with instant settlement, minimal fees, and zero chargebacks,”
Coinbase said.
Standard Chartered partnership and MAS approvals support SGD transfers
Standard Chartered serves as the local banking partner. The integration enables SGD transfers for retail and business users and bridges bank accounts with on-chain settlement.
In October 2023, the Monetary Authority of Singapore (MAS) granted Coinbase a Major Payment Institution (MPI) license.
The MPI license authorizes digital payment token services for individuals and institutions in Singapore.
Last month, Coinbase joined the MAS BLOOM program, which pilots settlement using tokenized bank liabilities and regulated stablecoins.
Participation aligns USDC payments with ongoing regulatory experiments in multi-currency settlement.
What Coinbase Business offers SMEs and startups using USDC
A single interface manages USDC payments, global payouts, and asset management.
Teams can issue payment links with a 1% fee, accept funds in USDC, and pay suppliers directly or move via SGD transfers.
Instant settlement tightens cash-flow cycles. Zero chargebacks on USDC payments removes card-style reversals, which simplifies reconciliation and post-delivery risk handling.
The dashboard shows balances, inflows, and payouts in one log. Where eligible, firms can access USDC rewards and maintain working capital in USDC while using local SGD transfers for operating expenses.
