Fiat Transfers

Move USD on and off the Paxos Platform via wire transfer or CUBIX.

To move USD onto the platform, first use Create Fiat Deposit Instructions to retrieve the Paxos banking information and specify which Profile balance to credit. Then, use the returned banking information, found in fiat_network_instructions object, along with the memo_id, to transfer funds to Paxos.

Paxos can accept wires from or send wires to a bank account, even if the bank account owner is not the same as the individual or institution onboarded with Paxos. This means Paxos allows wire transfers involving third-party bank accounts, subject to applicable compliance and regulatory checks.

To move USD off the Platform, first use Create Fiat Account to let Paxos know where to transfer the funds. Then, use the returned Fiat Account id with Create Fiat Withdrawal to transfer funds to the external account.
