Countries & Rails

General Notes

  • In the coverage tables below, Direction refers to the source and destination country / currency / rail of a payment.

    • Source = you can use this country / currency / rail combination as the source of a payment
    • Destination = you can use this country / currency / rail combination as the destination of a payment
  • Min and Max limits are transaction-level limits unless specified otherwise

  • Minimums are post-fee, meaning the source or destination value should amount to at least the minimum limit after Walapay's fees have been applied.

  • The settlement time is the intended speed at which the rail is supposed to work (it is not controlled by Walapay). This does not equal the exact time it will take a payment to complete as this can be impacted by delays with the rail itself (e.g., the Central Bank coordinating the transactions has a backlog) and the internal processes that sending and receiving banks have (e.g., compliance audits on randomly selected transactions)
