Whether you're sending funds to family overseas, topping up your USD account, or moving money between global bank accounts, having the right payment options matters. That’s why Xapo Bank members have access to multiple options including Swift – the world’s most trusted network for international USD transfers – right from the Xapo Bank app.

Connecting you globally: international and domestic transfers

Navigating the global financial landscape requires versatile tools. Xapo Bank equips you with several established networks:

  • Swift for International USD Transfers: For our eligible members, the Swift network is available to facilitate US Dollar payments internationally, connecting members to a vast network of financial institutions in over 200 countries. This option is key for those needing to send or receive USD across the globe.

  • SEPA for Euro Transactions: If you're dealing with Euros, the Single Euro Payment Area (SEPA) network ensures efficient transfers within most of Europe.  

  • ACH and FedWire for US Dollar Needs: For transactions within the United States, we provide access to both the Automated Clearing House (ACH) and FedWire systems for reliable USD transfers.

  • Faster Payments for GBP: Members transacting in British Pounds can utilise the Faster Payments Service for quick and easy transfers within the UK.

Embracing digital currency and innovation*

Beyond traditional rails, the Xapo Bank app is at the forefront of digital currency integration:

  • Universal Money Address (UMA): Send and receive assets globally using a simple, human-readable address. Send, for example, MXN to a Mexican bank, instantly and 24/7 through the SPEI network, via UMA.

  • Bitcoin deposits and withdrawals: Innovative security features give you state of mind when transacting your Bitcoin with the Xapo Bank app.

  • Lightning Network for Bitcoin: Experience the speed and efficiency of instant bitcoin payments with our Lightning Network support. 

  • Stablecoin Flexibility: We facilitate sending and receiving USDT and USDC, with automatic conversion to USD in your account, simplifying your stablecoin transactions. 

Why a diverse network matters

Having a range of payment options means you can choose the most appropriate method for your specific needs, considering factors like currency, destination, and transaction type. The Xapo Bank's app commitment to providing these varied rails, from established international systems like Swift to cutting-edge solutions like the Lightning Network, underscores our dedication to your financial autonomy. 

We continue to ensure our platform supports your ability to manage both fiat and bitcoin within a secure, regulated environment.
