How a cross-border payment settles

Six steps. Full compliance. Under 30 seconds.

Step 01

Wallet Provisioning

Sender and receiver wallets created with full KYC verification via Bridge ID. Each wallet is jurisdictionally tagged and compliance-validated.

Step 02

Fiat On-Ramp

Local currency tokenized on-ledger, converting fiat deposits into digital representations backed by segregated reserve accounts.

Step 03

Corridor Lock

Transfer initiates by escrowing sender-side tokens with full originator information, establishing the compliance record.

Step 04

Bridge Confirmation

Protocol validates the lock, confirms beneficiary eligibility, and authorizes cross-border settlement. Travel Rule data cryptographically bound.

Step 05

Destination Mint

Equivalent value minted in destination currency, delivering funds to the beneficiary wallet with immediate finality.

Step 06

Last Mile Delivery

On-ledger transfer to beneficiary or off-ramp to local bank account or mobile money payout.
