# Global remittance

> Cross-border money transfer: fiat in, stablecoin settlement on Polygon, fiat out.

<Note>
  **Before you start:** the OMS API is in early access. Every endpoint, including the ones in this guide, requires an early-access API key. [Request access](https://info.polygon.technology/get-early-access?utm_source=docs\&utm_medium=card\&utm_campaign=oms_access) before you begin.
</Note>

## How it works

A sender deposits fiat in their local currency via card, ACH, or cash. OMS converts to USDC on Polygon, settles in under two seconds, then converts back to fiat and delivers to the recipient's bank account, mobile wallet, or cash pickup location.
