Frequently asked questions
What type of supporting documentation do I need in order to send a payment?
To process a payment, you may need to provide one of the following:
- Invoice
- Agreement/Contract
- Purchase Order
Each document should include: Description of Goods/Services – Clearly outline the items, quantities, and prices.
Parties Involved – Names, addresses, and contact details of both buyer and seller.
Payment Terms – Payment amounts, due dates, and accepted methods.
Signatures – Required for agreements/contracts to formalize the transaction.
Business Justification – If the purpose is unclear, a signed statement explaining the transaction may be required.
Why doesn’t the USDT amount match the amount I sent or expected to receive?
When converting between USD and USDT - whether sending or receiving - clients sometimes expect the amount to reflect only the agreed fee (e.g., 10 bps). For example, sending $10,000 USD with a 10 bps fee might suggest you’ll receive exactly 9,990 USDT.
However, USDT is not always worth exactly 1.00 USD. Like any asset, it has a market price that can fluctuate slightly depending on liquidity and trading conditions.
This means that the final amount of USDT delivered or received reflects both:
- The agreed fee
- And the current market price of USDT at the time of the transaction
What this means for you:
Even if your fee is fixed, the market price of USDT can lead to an amount that is slightly above or below your expectations.
To avoid surprises, we recommend checking the live market rate of USDT before confirming an on/off ramp transaction.
How long does a transaction take?
- Domestic USD: Up to 2 hours.
International Wire Transfer: 2–8 hours, depending on the beneficiary’s timezone. If submitted outside the beneficiary bank’s operating hours, it will settle on the next business day (T+1).
Can I send or receive funds from an individual?
- Incoming payments: Personal accounts cannot send funds to Conduit (blocked/rejected).
- Exception: Transfers over $100K USD may be allowed with prior compliance approval.
- Outgoing payments: Funds cannot be sent to personal accounts.
- Exceptions: Payroll providers and approved payroll transactions for staff/contractors (subject to due diligence).
