Why do banks accept our transfers?

Banks keep our accounts open because every payment is documented. That is what makes the transfers arrive.

Compliance and security

Verified clients only

Individuals pass KYC, companies pass KYB. We know who pays, who is paid and why.

Sanctions-list checks

Clients, beneficiaries and senders are checked against OFAC, EU, UK and UN lists before money moves; USDT is accepted only from addresses whose owner we can identify.

Segregated client funds

USDT received for a payment is held apart from company funds until the transfer is sent. We are not a bank and do not hold deposits.

What do companies get?

Pay suppliers and contractors in batches, collect customer payments by bank transfer, settle in USDT. An individual fee for regular volumes, monthly statements and a personal manager.

  • Batch payouts from a file, with a status per row
  • Named payment references so your customers' transfers are matched by our desk
  • KYB once for the company; then the people named in the agreement instruct payments, with an approval limit if you want one
  • Monthly statement and closing documents for your accountant
  • Arkipo OTC for licensed payment companies: USDT ↔ USD and EUR, quoted by the desk, settled the same day
In development
  • Client cabinet with roles, approval limits and the document archive
  • API for quotes, payments, collections and documents, with status webhooks
  • Sandbox and test keys with the business agreement

Until then: orders and documents by email and Telegram, one order number per payment.

Questions people ask before the first payment

Help centre
Is it legal to pay a foreign invoice with crypto?

You do not pay the beneficiary in crypto. You pay our company in USDT under an agent agreement, and we pay the invoice in fiat from our bank account; the beneficiary receives an ordinary bank transfer with the invoice reference. Whether holding and using crypto is permitted for you depends on your country of residence.

How long does a payment take?

SWIFT payments typically take one to two business days, sometimes three for some corridors; rupiah by BI-FAST arrives within hours. Payments confirmed before the bank cut-off are sent the same business day.

What does it cost?

An Arkipo fee by invoice amount: 2.5% up to $10,000, 2% up to $50,000, 1.5% up to $100,000, 1% from $100,000. Plus the payment order: free to Bank Mandiri, $80 to any other bank. Currencies are converted at the market rate with no mark-up. Nothing else.

What happens if the beneficiary's bank returns the payment?

We tell you the reason the bank gave, fix the details and resend, or refund you in the crypto you paid with at the locked rate, minus the bank's return fee. Refunds are usually completed within three business days.
