A sender deposits cash or pays by card in their home country. The recipient receives local currency in their bank account, mobile wallet, or cash pickup location in another country. Polygon handles settlement in the middle. Total time from send to delivery: under two minutes. Traditional correspondent banking takes 2-5 days and charges 5-7% in fees. Using Polygon as the settlement layer eliminates the correspondent chain entirely. Who this is for:
  • Remittance services targeting high-volume corridors (US-MX, US-PH, EU-NG)
  • Neobanks serving diaspora communities who send money home regularly
  • Mobile money operators looking to add international send capability

Recipient
bank/cash
The rate is locked at quote time, so both sender and recipient know exactly what will be delivered before any money moves. The sender is an OMS customer. The recipient is a counterparty, created with POST /counterparties, whose bank account is registered with POST /external-accounts and referenced on the payout quote by its ext_ identifier. OMS handles KYC and compliance checks for the corridor.
