MiniPay, the stablecoin wallet developed by Opera and built on the Celo blockchain, has introduced embedded international mobile connectivity directly within its app through the Boxo eSIM Miniapp, making it easier for users to stay connected wherever they travel.

With the new feature, users can browse, purchase, and activate mobile data plans instantly inside the Minipay app — without switching platforms, visiting a telecom provider, or dealing with physical SIM cards. All using stablecoins. The experience is fully digital, seamless, and built for modern travelers who need reliable connectivity from the moment they land.

A simpler way to stay connected while traveling

Travel connectivity has traditionally been fragmented, often requiring users to buy local SIM cards, endure expensive roaming charges, or navigate multiple third-party apps. By embedding eSIM services directly into the Minipay experience, users can now access data plans in just a few taps, all within an app they already know and use.

What users can expect

• Global coverage across multiple destinations

• Fast activation with a simple in-app flow

• Direct purchase inside the app

• No roaming hassle, no SIM swaps, no store visits

Expanding fintech beyond payments

The launch reflects a broader shift in how fintech apps are evolving. As users increasingly look for more utility and convenience within the apps they already trust, embedded services like travel connectivity create meaningful everyday value beyond core financial features.

For Minipay, adding eSIM functionality enhances the app’s real-world usability while also creating more frequent engagement opportunities. It is a strong example of how fintech platforms can extend naturally into adjacent lifestyle and travel services that solve immediate customer needs.

Powered by Boxo’s Miniapp Platform

The feature is powered by Boxo’s Miniapp Platform, which enables apps to quickly launch embedded services such as eSIMs, travel, lifestyle, and other digital miniapps without the complexity of building each integration from scratch.

By making travel connectivity native to the Minipay experience, this launch shows how embedded miniapps can help digital platforms move faster, offer more value to users, and unlock new use cases within a single app ecosystem.
