Cross-border payments · Roadmap

Cross-border payments from South Africa are on our roadmap.

No cross-border rail is built yet. Available today: daily SARB exchange-rate snapshots, with the source and observation date on every rate. Talk to us if cross-border payouts matter to you.

Why cross-border on FinVeil

What exists, and what doesn't.

Cross-border payouts (roadmap)

No cross-border rail is built today, and FinVeil does not settle payouts on any rail yet. Cross-border payouts are on the roadmap.

Daily SARB FX snapshot

Exchange rates ingested daily from the South African Reserve Bank, returned with the observation date and source. A daily snapshot, not a real-time or dealable rate.

Proof receipts

Each settled transaction gets a SHA-256 proof receipt stored by FinVeil. There is no Balance of Payments reporting feature.

Convert at the SARB rate

Convert an amount between SARB-quoted currencies. The response carries the rate and its observation date, and unquoted pairs are refused rather than invented.
