A unified API for FX, compliance and settlement — built for B2B businesses moving goods across African borders. Powered by USDC and USDT stablecoins.
TradeRail abstracts FX quoting, compliance, stablecoin conversion and local currency settlement into a single API integration.
Send a request with source currency, destination, and amount. Get a locked FX quote in milliseconds.
KYB, AML screening and trade doc verification fire automatically — no manual ops, no gaps across jurisdictions.
Funds move via USDC or USDT on-chain. Converted to local currency at the destination at your locked rate.
Real-time tracking, rate lock confirmations and reconciliation — every payment auditable end-to-end.
Hold and move money globally with your multi-currency wallets. Store balances in fiat and stablecoins, collect and settle using local rails across 22+ African markets.
Access transparent FX at 0.5% spread — a fraction of the 3–6% charged by banks. Lock your rate at initiation so you know exactly what you're paying before you send.
KYB, AML screening, and trade finance documentation are fully automated on every payment. We handle the regulatory complexity across all supported jurisdictions.
Launched on Africa's highest-volume B2B corridors. Expanding rapidly to all 54 African Union member states in line with the AfCFTA framework.
We've built the infrastructure that B2B businesses crossing African borders actually need.

"We were spending 4% on FX and waiting 3 days per payment. TradeRail cut our FX cost by 85% and now our suppliers get paid the same day we release goods."
"The API integration took our team less than a day. The compliance automation alone saved us from hiring a dedicated compliance officer. Genuinely impressive."
"Cross-border payments used to be our biggest operational headache. Now they're just another API call. That's the kind of infrastructure Africa's trade sector needs."
