USD → BRL

The first 200 milliseconds

When you send a payout, Corridor checks the recipient, screens the transfer and locks the exchange rate before anything moves. Those checks run in parallel, which is why they take less time than a page load.

On the network

The dollars travel as a stablecoin on a public network. Settlement is final in about a second, and you can follow every step in the dashboard or through webhooks.

The last mile

A licensed partner in Brazil converts the dollars to reais and pays the recipient through PIX. Most transfers land before you have closed the tab.

Move money like a message.
