Supported routes

The currency and rail combinations you can open a payment route on
View as Markdown

A payment route converts money arriving at one end and pays it out at the other. This page lists the combinations POST /v1/payment-routes accepts. Anything outside them is rejected with a validation error naming the offending field.

Route explorer

Below, you will find all the routes we support. You can use the filters to search for the routes you are interested in. The last column is the type to send when you create the route.

On-ramp — fiat in, stablecoin out

You choose the fiat currency to receive and the stablecoin and chain to pay out on. We open a deposit account in that currency; whatever lands there is converted and sent to your address.

sourceCurrencyDeposit account
USDUS bank account
EURIBAN
GBPUK account and sort code
MXNCLABE

You do not pick the deposit rails — the account accepts whichever the currency supports, and they are listed in source.paymentRails when you read the route back.

Off-ramp — stablecoin in, fiat out

You choose the stablecoin and chain to receive and the bank account to pay out to. We open a deposit address; stablecoin sent there is converted and paid out over the rail you name.

Payout currencies and rails

The rail must belong to the currency — this is the pairing most integrations get wrong, and a mismatch is rejected with a destinationPaymentRail error.

Chains

Both directions accept these for destinationPaymentRail (on-ramp) and sourcePaymentRail (off-ramp):

Not every stablecoin is issued on every chain. Send a stablecoin to an address on a chain that does not carry it — or to an address for a different asset — and the funds are generally unrecoverable. Confirm the pairing with us before opening a route on a combination you have not used before.

Before a route will open

Two conditions apply regardless of the combination you pick:

  • The company must be activated by AlphaX, or you get 403 COMPANY_NOT_ACTIVE. See the Overview.
  • Payment routes must be enabled for the company, and off-ramp is enabled separately from on-ramp — either being off gives 403 FEATURE_NOT_ENABLED.
