Every transaction undergoes real-time pre-flight AML screening in under 35 milliseconds. Travel Rule payloads conforming to IVMS 101 are generated and cryptographically attached to payments exceeding statutory thresholds, fully satisfying Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN) regulations.

3. Zero Nostro Pre-Funding & Bilateral Netting

Fintechs and PSPs integrate our API without locking millions in foreign currency nostro float. Payout balances are funded on-demand via wholesale stablecoin rails (USDC/EURC) or bilateral liquidity netting across 14 sovereign corridors.
