USD to the UK, settled on Faster Payments
Pay suppliers and collect from customers in pounds from the same Infinite Account. Routing weighs SWIFT against a stablecoin leg plus FX; the final leg clears on Faster Payments or CHAPS.
- Payouts: a USD instruction with a UK destination routes across the eligible paths and delivers pounds on Faster Payments in near real time, or CHAPS when the amount calls for the high-value rail.
- Collections: UK customers pay in GBP on local rails; the balance converts and lands in your USD account, no UK entity or local banking relationships needed on your side.
- Counterparties are vetted before funds move; the screening result covers every leg of the route. Screening runs at the network level, so a counterparty vetted once is vetted for every member.
How the corridor runs.
Submit the instruction
Amount, British pound destination, urgency. No rail in the request.
Routing scores the eligible paths
A direct SWIFT wire competes with a stablecoin leg plus USD/GBP conversion. Expected settlement, all-in cost, and observed corridor performance decide.
Screening clears the counterparty
The counterparty is vetted before funds move, and the result covers every leg of the route.
The local leg delivers
The British pound leg settles on Faster Payments (or CHAPS for high-value). One payment object, one status stream, one reconciled ledger entry.

Answers before you ask
How fast does a USD to UK business payment settle?
Faster Payments credits in near real time once the pound leg initiates, and stablecoin legs settle in minutes, so same-day is standard and off-hours delivery works. High-value payments can route via CHAPS during UK banking hours.
When does CHAPS get used instead of Faster Payments?
Routing weighs amount, urgency, and rail limits. Very large transfers route to CHAPS, the UK’s high-value same-day system; everything else typically delivers on Faster Payments. The chosen rail comes back on the payment object.
Can we collect pounds from UK customers?
Yes, collections run on the same account. Customers pay in GBP on local rails and you reconcile one USD entry, with the FX conversion quoted on the payment.
