Build global payment services with accurate crypto pricing and exchange rates
Support international payments, remittance platforms, and cross-border settlement using real-time market prices, exchange rates, and historical pricing data.
Cross-border payment and remittance platforms move money between countries using traditional currencies, digital assets, or a combination of both.
Their goal is to deliver fast, transparent, and cost-effective transfers while providing accurate exchange rates and predictable settlement values. Reliable pricing is essential because every payment depends on the value of one currency relative to another.
International payments involve multiple currencies, changing market prices, and continuously moving exchange rates.
As payment volumes grow, platforms must value transactions consistently, support new currency corridors, and ensure customers receive accurate conversion rates at the time of each transfer. Maintaining this accuracy across global markets can quickly become operationally complex.
Use the Exchange Rates API to convert crypto and fiat currencies using current market rates, helping ensure payment values remain accurate throughout the transaction.
Use normalized market data to calculate transaction values using one pricing methodology, regardless of where the underlying assets are traded.
Access historical prices and exchange rates through Historical APIs and Flat Files to reproduce transaction values for reconciliation, reporting, and customer support.
Support additional cryptocurrencies and exchanges through one standardized market data platform instead of integrating new pricing sources for every market.
Deliver live prices and exchange rates through REST APIs and WebSocket streams so payment applications always calculate transfers using current market information.
