# FX Conversion

Quoted before committed, on a stablecoin-settled corridor.

Corridors settle **in stablecoins, end to end**. What you are quoted is the rate for that stablecoin-settled operation, and the defining feature is **sequence**: you see the rate, then you decide. Correspondent banking inverts that, sending the payment out and discovering the rate on arrival.

{% hint style="info" %}
Where an operation has a US dollar leg, that leg is provided through **regulated partners**. BRD Digital's role is the stablecoin settlement between the legs.
{% endhint %}

## How quoting works

1. **Request.** Specify the operation: amount, currencies, and the rails on each side.
2. **Quote.** You receive a rate, valid for the window stated alongside it.
3. **Accept or let it lapse.** Accepting locks the rate for that operation. If the window passes, request a fresh one. Nothing is committed by asking.

## What the rate is

* **All-in for the operation.** The number you accepted is the number it executes at.
* **Specific to the operation.** Size, currencies and rails affect pricing. A quote describes one operation, not a posted price feed.

## Practical notes

* **Fund inside the flow.** Fund per the instructions and reference so the operation matches the quote that authorised it.
* **Cleared funds settle.** The operation runs on cleared money. See Settlement Flow.
* **Commercial terms** applicable to your organization are agreed at onboarding and available from the institutional desk.

# Agent Instructions
This documentation is published with GitBook. GitBook is the documentation platform designed so that both humans and AI agents can read, navigate, and reason over technical content effectively. Learn more at gitbook.com.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the following URL with the `ask` and `goal` query parameters:

```
GET https://brd-digital.gitbook.io/brd-digital-docs/cross-border/fx-conversion.md?ask=<question>&goal=<user_goal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is what the user is ultimately trying to achieve, the reason they need the answer. Sharing it helps GitBook give you a better, more relevant answer. A goal is most helpful when it describes the outcome the user wants rather than restating the question. For example, with `ask=how do I create an API token`, a goal like `automate deployments from our CI pipeline` lets GitBook tailor the answer to that use case.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
