Question 1

How fast are USDC settlements compared to traditional wire transfers?

Accepted Answer

Stablecoin payments settle in seconds to minutes on blockchains, compared to 3–5 business days typical for traditional cross-border wire transfers. USDC offers faster settlement times for international payments compared to traditional banking. On high-speed networks like Solana, a USDC transfer finalizes in about 400 milliseconds. Timing is not guaranteed and may vary by network, partner and compliance review.

Question 2

What compliance and regulatory requirements does iTeller meet for business payments?

Accepted Answer

iTeller maintains compliance-focused workflows across supported jurisdictions. KYC and AML compliance is required for stablecoin transactions on the platform. Regulatory frameworks for stablecoins are evolving rapidly worldwide, including the US GENIUS Act and the EU's MiCA regulation, and iTeller's compliance infrastructure is designed to stay aligned with these requirements.

Question 3

Is there risk holding USDC balances instead of traditional bank deposits?

Accepted Answer

USDC is designed with transparent reserves backed by U.S. Treasuries and cash, with monthly audits. However, USDC is not FDIC-insured like a US bank account. Stablecoins can de-peg if issuer reserves are stressed. Blockchain transactions are irreversible once confirmed, so verifying recipient wallet addresses is critical.

Question 4

How does iTeller ensure security for business USDC transactions?

Accepted Answer

iTeller uses enterprise-grade wallet infrastructure, transaction monitoring, and compliance verification for every payment. Network fees can fluctuate with blockchain congestion, but iTeller can optimize chain selection to manage costs and security.

Question 5

Can we integrate USDC settlement with our existing accounting systems?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Businesses can integrate stablecoins into existing workflows using APIs. iTeller provides accounting integration with popular ERP and accounting systems, pulling on-chain transaction data for reconciliation.
