TL;DR: Onramp has launched a business Bitcoin account with named users, role permissions and withdrawal approvals. A separate Treasury tier adds multi-institution custody. The distinction matters because team account controls and the underlying signing arrangement are different parts of security.

For a company buying Bitcoin, the first operational question arrives quickly: who is allowed to move it? A purchase approved by the board still needs a process for everyday access, record keeping and changes in personnel.

Onramp’s new offering addresses that administrative layer. Its significance is practical: making a corporate Bitcoin position something a finance team can govern through defined responsibilities, rather than treating account access as one person’s private task.

The company’s November 10 announcement says Onramp Business supports up to three named users, role-based permissions, withdrawal approval policies and an audit trail. The entry account has no monthly charge and a stated 0.85% trading fee, with assets held by a qualified custodian.

Those features are intended to separate initiating a payment from authorizing it. In a well-designed company process, the person preparing a transfer need not have unilateral authority to complete it. An audit trail can then help explain who requested and approved an action if it is later questioned.

That does not remove the need for an internal policy. A system can enforce permissions only after the business decides who should have them, which transfers require review and what happens when an employee leaves.

Onramp’s current product page lists its Treasury tier from $375 a month, with a 0.65% trading fee. It includes vaults in the company’s name and a structure requiring two of three institutions to move Bitcoin. The page labels custom approval rules as forthcoming.

The basic account should therefore not be described as already including every Treasury feature.

Separating those tiers also makes pricing easier to interpret.
