A cross-border trading company: receives contract payment and withdraws local currency through a servicing partner.
You stay on your side of the contract. A servicing partner handles the settlement, and you get a clear outcome: your counterparty is paid in its own currency.
Signs the foreign-trade contract and agrees the amount, currency and payment terms with the counterparty — just like any ordinary deal.
Passes the payment order and contract documents to the servicing partner. The settlement mechanics are done for you.
Gets the final rate and the amount due before execution, with no hidden markups at intermediate steps.
Files the transaction under the currency-control rules of its own country, with the usual contract paperwork.
The goods side runs its own course. Below is only the money side: from your order to the credit reaching the counterparty.
The diagram is illustrative and simplifies the actual flow.
The company does not earn from taking part — it gains a practical advantage in settling its contracts.
Payment to the counterparty clears within the same business day or hours instead of a multi-day wait.
The final rate is known in advance, with no hidden markups or surprises at intermediate steps.
Fewer intermediaries in the settlement chain, and currencies available without a mandatory dollar leg.
A payment either goes through in full or not at all — no stuck half-settled deals.
These are benefits for the participant, not a source of income. Specific servicing terms are agreed with the partner.
No financial licence of its own is needed. The company goes through standard identification (KYC) at its servicing partner — to the same extent as in any currency-service relationship.
The servicing partner performs the settlement under its own licence. The company keeps the goods-side deal and the filing of the operation under the currency-control rules of its jurisdiction.
Large clients may work directly with the settlement token through their own corporate wallet, by arrangement with the partner. Exact terms are set at onboarding.
