Under the program, Ontop users earn rewards on USD balances held in their Global Account.<\/p>\n<p>The pilot began in December 2025 with 1,300 users and surpassed $1 million in user-provided funds in less than two weeks. The program has since expanded platform-wide, with balances now exceeding $3 million, according to the companies.<\/p>\n<p>Ontop processed more than $1 billion in payroll across 150 countries in 2025, but much of that capital sat unused between pay cycles.

All activity occurs within the Ontop Global Account, which the company is positioning as a financial home for distributed workers.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cMost of the fintech world still runs on dollars in traditional bank accounts that move on traditional rails, but that shouldn\u2019t be a barrier to accessing plug-and-play institutional-grade yield,\u201d said Jeff Handler, COO of OpenTrade. \u201cOur ability to meet Ontop where they\u2019re at operationally, without requiring them to rebuild their infrastructure, is exactly what OpenTrade was designed to do.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>For Ontop, the partnership adds a new revenue layer. The company, historically driven by subscription-based payroll services, now earns a margin on funds allocated to Opentrade\u2014expanding its model into a broader financial platform without building new infrastructure or adding operational overhead. Fixed-term products are in development and expected to launch soon.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAt Ontop, we\u2019re building the financial infrastructure for the global workforce,\u201d said Julian Torres, Ontop\u2019s co-founder. \u201cThe future of work is global, but financial systems haven\u2019t caught up.
