Built like a regulated payments company

Banks keep our accounts open because every payment is documented. That is what makes the transfers arrive.

Compliance and security

Verified clients only

Individuals pass KYC, companies pass KYB. We know who pays, who is paid and why.

Sanctions and blockchain screening

Counterparties are checked against OFAC, EU and UK lists; incoming crypto is screened for illicit origin before it is accepted.

Segregated client funds

USDT received for a payment is held apart from company funds until the transfer is sent. We are not a bank and do not hold deposits.

For companies and platforms

Pay suppliers and contractors in bulk, collect customer payments by bank transfer, settle in USDT. Pricing from 0.7% by contract, monthly statements, a named manager and team access with roles.

  • ✓Bulk payouts from a CSV file or through the API, with a status per row
  • ✓Named payment references so your customers' transfers are matched automatically
  • ✓KYB once for the company; then every employee works through one account with roles and approval limits
  • ✓Monthly statement and closing documents for your accountant
  • ✓Arkipo OTC for licensed payment companies: USDT ↔ USD and EUR, quoted by the desk, settled the same day

Questions people ask before the first payment

Help centre
Is it legal to pay a foreign invoice with crypto?

You do not pay the beneficiary in crypto. You pay our company in USDT under an agent agreement, and we pay the invoice in fiat from our bank account. The beneficiary receives an ordinary bank transfer with the invoice reference. Whether holding and using crypto is permitted for you depends on your country of residence; we provide the full set of documents for your accountant.

How long does a payment take?

SEPA transfers in EUR go out the same business day. SWIFT takes one to two business days to reach the beneficiary, sometimes three for exotic corridors. Local rails arrive within minutes to hours. Payments confirmed before the bank cut-off shown in the quote are sent the same day.

What does it cost?

A service fee of 0.9–2.0% depending on the amount, plus the bank fee at cost ($35 for SWIFT SHA, €3 for SEPA, $0–5 for local rails). Currency conversion is at the mid-market rate plus 0.35%, shown as a separate line and only when the payout is not in USD. There are no other charges.

What happens if the beneficiary's bank returns the payment?

We tell you the reason the bank gave, fix the details and resend, or refund you in the crypto you paid with at the locked rate, minus the bank's return fee. Refunds are usually completed within three business days.
