Demand-deposit and virtual USD accounts share ACH, RTP, and Fedwire.
USD accounts, demand-deposit and virtual, on ACH, RTP, and Fedwire, plus SWIFT wires to major corridors. First-party and third-party funds flows share the same rails.
Pounds settle on Faster Payments, with CHAPS for high-value credits during UK banking hours.
Euros settle on SEPA Instant where the receiving bank participates, or on a SEPA credit transfer.
Pesos settle on SPEI, Mexico’s 24/7 instant payment system.
Reais settle on Pix, Brazil’s 24/7 instant payment system.
Every transfer is screened both ways before it releases. Stablecoin Payments covers the rail.
USDC settles on listed networks. Same-asset bridging is published between Ethereum, Solana, Arbitrum, Base, and Polygon, with no conversion.
USDT settles on listed networks. Same-asset bridging is published between Ethereum, Tron, Arbitrum, Polygon, and Solana, with no conversion.
Paying into a market is not onboarding from one. Businesses onboard from the United States and the further markets listed under Supported markets, and the rails above reach further.
USD moves over ACH, Fedwire, and RTP, and by SWIFT wire to and from major corridors. Published local-currency corridors settle GBP, EUR, MXN, and BRL, and collections in those currencies land in USD.
USDC settles on Ethereum, Base, Polygon, Solana, Stellar, and Celo; USDT settles on Ethereum, Base, Polygon, Solana, Stellar, Celo, and Tron. Whichever network a transfer uses, you call the same payments API, and the counterparty is screened before funds move.
Yes. Same-asset bridging moves USDC between Ethereum, Solana, Arbitrum, Base, and Polygon; USDT between Ethereum, Tron, Arbitrum, Polygon, and Solana. The asset stays the same on the new network, with no conversion. Confirm the network with your counterparty before sending: the same asset on two networks is two different balances.
Yes, in GBP, EUR, MXN, and BRL, and the collection lands in USD: the payer sends local currency on its local rail, and it converts en route, quoted on the payment object. Accounts are denominated in USD today; inbound local-currency collection is corridor-specific.
Not necessarily: onboarding and payments have different reach. Businesses onboard from the United States and the further markets listed under Supported markets, and payments reach further, over the rails on this page. Within those markets, eligibility is reviewed case by case.
USD wires still reach major SWIFT corridors. Bring the currency, the country, and the direction you need to a demo, and the team will confirm what is published for your flow.
Thirty minutes on your currencies and counterparties: the rail each payment would take.
