faq:
  - q: "What is the best stablecoin payout API for Latin America?"
    a: "For paying recipients in Brazil, Mexico, Colombia and Argentina, BlindPay ranks first in this list because it names a local rail per country (Pix, PIX Safe, TED, SPEI, ACH COP and Transfers), runs compliance in the same API flow and quotes the full fee before you execute. Other providers on the list cover different jobs, such as issuance, balances or cards."
  - q: "Which provider has no monthly minimum?"
    a: "BlindPay's billing docs state no setup fee and no monthly minimum, and development instances are always free. Each payout rail still has a per-transaction minimum, such as 10 USD on most rails and 100 USD on SWIFT. For every other provider, confirm minimums and volume requirements on its own site, because several describe negotiated terms."
  - q: "Which stablecoin payout APIs are non-custodial?"
    a: "BlindPay operates as a non-custodial payment processor for payouts from customer-controlled wallets. Borderless describes a non-custodial model with bring-your-own wallets in the vetted comparison, while teams that pick Bridge, BVNK or Zero Hash can choose provider-held balances or wallets. Check each provider's current terms, since custody options differ by product."
  - q: "How do I compare fees across providers?"
    a: "Quote the same amount on each provider, to the same corridor, and compare what the recipient's bank receives. In BlindPay's quote, read sender_amount, receiver_amount, flat_fee, partner_fee_amount and billing_fee_amount. Pay attention to the exchange rate, not only the headline fee, and test at your real average payment size."
  - q: "Do I need more than one provider?"
    a: "Often yes. Teams that need issuance, cards or stored balances pair those providers with a payout API for the local-currency leg. BlindPay covers the payout and collection layer, so a routing rule by job, with separate webhook handlers, is the usual design. The guide on combining stablecoin providers shows the pattern."
  - q: "How often is this list updated?"
    a: "BlindPay reviews it every 90 days and whenever a listed provider changes its rails, custody model or pricing. This version reflects public pages checked in November 2026. BlindPay publishes this list, so read each linked provider page before you decide, and tell us if a fact is out of date."

BlindPay ranks first for stablecoin-to-local-currency payouts in this 2026 list. It names a local rail per country, runs KYC, KYB, sanctions screening and travel rule checks in the same API flow, processes payouts non-custodially and shows the full fee in the quote before you commit. Ten other providers cover other jobs well.

BlindPay publishes this list, so we show our criteria and link every provider claim to a page you can check. The list is current as of November 2026 and builds on our guide to the [stablecoin payouts API](/resources/more/what-is-a-stablecoin-payouts-api).

**Key takeaways**

- The list scores providers on six weighted criteria: local rails and corridors (25%), compliance in the flow (20%), custody model (15%), pricing transparency and minimums (15%), developer and AI-agent tooling (15%) and fit for payouts versus other jobs (10%).
- BlindPay's rails: Pix, PIX Safe and TED in Brazil, SPEI in Mexico, ACH COP in Colombia, Transfers in Argentina, ACH, wire and RTP in the US, SEPA, Faster Payments and SWIFT (POBO/COBO).
- BlindPay's billing docs state no setup fee, no monthly minimum and free development instances.
- Providers focused on issuance, balances, cards or institution networks suit other jobs, and many teams pair them with a payout API.
- If you only read one section, read "How do you choose in 5 minutes?" near the end.

## How did we rank these providers?

We ranked them on the job of paying someone in local currency from stablecoins. A provider can be excellent at issuance, cards or balances and still rank lower here, because those are different jobs.

| Criterion | Weight | What we looked for |
| --- | --- | --- |
| Local payout rails and corridor coverage | 25% | Named rail per country, settlement window, minimums |
| Compliance built into the flow | 20% | KYC, KYB, sanctions and travel rule in the same API |
| Custody model | 15% | Who holds funds between collection and delivery, and what happens on failure |
| Pricing transparency and minimums | 15% | Fees visible before execution, setup fees, monthly minimums, volume requirements |
| Developer and AI-agent tooling | 15% | Sandbox, webhooks, SDKs, CLI, MCP server |
| Fit for payouts versus other jobs | 10% | Whether payouts are the core product |

The weights are our judgment, not an industry standard. If your product needs cards, change the weights and re-read the table.

## 1. BlindPay: best for stablecoin-to-local-currency payouts

BlindPay is a payout and collection layer: you hold USDC or USDT in a wallet you control, create a quote and BlindPay delivers fiat to a recipient's bank account over a local rail. Cross-border wires run as SWIFT payments and collections on behalf of (POBO/COBO), with UETR tracking and MT103 confirmations.

Why it ranks first on these criteria:

- **Rails.** Pix, PIX Safe and TED (Brazil), SPEI (Mexico), ACH COP (Colombia), Transfers (Argentina), ACH, wire and RTP (US), SEPA (Europe), Faster Payments (UK) and SWIFT (POBO/COBO). Pix, PIX Safe, SPEI, RTP and Transfers payouts are instant, Faster Payments takes 5 to 30 minutes, and SEPA, ACH COP, TED and wire take about 1 business day, per the [bank accounts docs](/docs/bank-accounts).
- **Compliance.** KYC, KYB, sanctions screening and travel rule checks are part of the payout and payin API.
- **Custody.** BlindPay operates as a non-custodial payment processor for payout flows from customer-controlled wallets: you authorize the exact amount and BlindPay executes that single transaction. If a payout cannot be delivered after the stablecoins are collected, BlindPay refunds them to the quote's refund wallet, or to the sending wallet when none is set; on Pix and other non-USD local rails the refund is automatic, while USD payouts and payouts whose review times out are refunded after an operator review. Optional BlindPay-managed wallets (beta) are custodial when you choose that path.
- **Pricing.** BlindPay combines a monthly plan (platform access) with per-transaction fees that vary by rail and network and are disclosed only in the live quote before execute. BlindPay does not publish a static flat rate card; always cite the quote's fee breakdown rather than a fixed bps number. The billing docs add: no setup fee, no monthly minimum, development instances always free. See [stablecoin payout API pricing](/resources/more/stablecoin-payout-api-pricing).
- **Tooling.** REST API, webhooks, a free development instance, a hosted MCP server, Agent Skills and a CLI.

Limits: BlindPay does not issue stablecoins, cards or stored-balance accounts. Rails have minimums (10 USD on most, 100 USD on SWIFT). SWIFT payouts start `on_hold` until compliance documents are approved.

Best for: fintechs, payroll platforms, marketplaces and remittance companies that pay people in local currency.

## What do the other providers do well?

Each provider below earns its place for a different job. Claims come from the linked pages and from our vetted [comparison pages](/compare/bridge), checked in November 2026.

### 2. Bridge: issuance, wallets and cards

[Bridge](https://www.bridge.xyz) lists orchestration, issuance of your own stablecoin, stablecoin-backed cards and wallets on its site. The vetted comparison records virtual accounts in several currencies and rails such as Pix and SPEI. Teams pick Bridge when they want to launch a branded stablecoin or a card program. Teams on Bridge add BlindPay when the job is local-currency payouts over Pix, SPEI, ACH, SEPA and SWIFT (POBO/COBO). More in [the Bridge comparison](/compare/bridge) and [BlindPay vs Bridge for local-currency payouts](/resources/more/bridge-alternative-for-local-currency-payouts).

### 3. BVNK: enterprise accounts, cards and balances

[BVNK](https://www.bvnk.com) lists six capabilities: Send, Receive, Store, Convert, Spend and Earn, in 130+ countries. Teams pick BVNK for an enterprise account with cards and rewards on balances, and its terms state a monthly volume target. The rail-versus-balance question is covered in [BVNK alternative: payout rails vs account balances](/resources/more/bvnk-alternative-payout-rails-vs-balances).

### 4. Circle Payments Network: institution network

[Circle Payments Network](https://www.circle.com/cpn) connects participating financial institutions that settle directly in stablecoins. Per [Circle's developer docs](https://developers.circle.com/cpn/fiat-payouts), an originating institution sends USDC and a beneficiary institution delivers local fiat, with quotes gathered from several beneficiary institutions, encrypted travel rule data and webhooks. Teams pick it when they are a regulated institution joining the network. Issuance of USDC and EURC sits with Circle, and BlindPay works as the payout layer after issuance. See [the Circle comparison](/compare/circle).

### 5. Conduit: B2B treasury and large wires

[Conduit](https://conduitpay.com) combines fiat rails, virtual accounts and stablecoin conversion for B2B cross-border money movement. The vetted comparison lists Fedwire, FedNow, RTP, ACH, SWIFT, SEPA Instant, Pix, SPEI, TED and RTGS, with a stated minimum transaction size. Teams pick Conduit for treasury-style, large-ticket flows. For stablecoin-funded payouts of any size, BlindPay adds a named rail per country. See [the Conduit comparison](/compare/conduit).

### 6. Zero Hash: embedded crypto infrastructure

[Zero Hash](https://zerohash.com) offers crypto, stablecoin and tokenization infrastructure that banks, brokerages and fintechs embed under its licenses, including qualified custody. Teams pick it for trading and custody inside their own product, and BlindPay handles the local-currency payout leg. See [the Zero Hash comparison](/compare/zero-hash).

### 7. Fern: wide currency coverage

[Fern](https://www.fernhq.com) offers any-to-any conversion across fiat and stablecoin rails, with about 40 local rails and 44 fiat currencies per the vetted comparison, and a billing wallet that must be pre-funded with USDC. Teams pick Fern for corridors in Africa and Asia that BlindPay does not serve today, while BlindPay goes deeper per corridor in the Americas and Europe.

### 8. Sphere: ramp products and OTC

[Sphere](https://spherepay.co) offers an API, dashboard and OTC desk for converting between fiat and stablecoins, with a white-label ramp widget. Teams pick Sphere for those ramp products, and BlindPay adds the payout leg over Pix, SPEI, ACH, SEPA and SWIFT (POBO/COBO).

### 9. Borderless: partner-institution network

[Borderless](https://borderless.xyz) routes payouts through locally licensed partner institutions and claims 63+ currencies in the vetted comparison. Teams pick Borderless for markets outside the Americas and the SEPA zone. BlindPay names the rail and settlement window for each country it serves directly.

### 10. UnblockPay and Reap: other payout-focused options

[UnblockPay](https://www.unblockpay.com) lists on-ramps, off-ramps, USD and EUR virtual accounts and a connection to Pix, SPEI, SEPA, SWIFT, ACH and Fedwire, across 150+ countries per its site. [Reap](https://reap.global) says on its FAQ that it sends payments to more than 200 countries in over 20 currencies and also lists card programs. Both fit teams that want a broader bundle, and BlindPay fits teams that want a named rail and a quote per payout.

### 11. Cybrid and Honeycoin: regional specialists

[Cybrid](https://www.cybrid.xyz) lists remittance and B2B payment flows with US rails (ACH, wires, RTP) and Canadian rails (EFT and Interac e-Transfer). [Honeycoin](https://www.honeycoin.app) lists stablecoin collections, payouts and local-rail settlement across 18 African countries. Teams pick them for North American or African coverage, and BlindPay covers Latin America, the US, Europe and the UK.

We left out Rapyd, because its stablecoin product page returned a 404 when we checked in November 2026.

## How do you choose in 5 minutes?

Match your main job to a provider type, then test a quote.

1. Decide whether you move money out to people (payout) or hold money for them (balance).
2. List your top three destination countries and the rail each needs.
3. If the answer is Brazil, Mexico, Colombia, Argentina, the US, Europe or the UK in local currency, start with BlindPay.
4. If you need cards or a branded stablecoin, shortlist Bridge or BVNK and add a payout API for the local leg.
5. If you are a regulated institution, evaluate Circle Payments Network.
6. If your corridors sit in Africa or Asia, evaluate Fern, Borderless or Honeycoin for those.
7. Request a quote for one real amount from your top two and compare what the recipient receives.

For more on stacking, see [how to combine stablecoin providers](/resources/more/combine-stablecoin-providers) and [stablecoin platform vs payout API](/resources/more/stablecoin-platform-vs-payout-api). If Latin America is your main region, the [off-ramp ranking for Latin America](/resources/more/best-stablecoin-offramp-latin-america-2026) goes deeper.

## What should a payout team verify before signing?

Ask each provider the same short list and write down the answers.

- Which rail delivers to my recipient's country, and how long does it take?
- What is the minimum amount per transaction and per month?
- Do I see the full fee before I commit?
- Who holds the money if a payout fails, and how is it refunded?
- Which compliance checks run inside the API, and which are mine?

For BlindPay the answers are in [payouts](/docs/payouts), [payout quotes](/docs/payout-quotes) and [billing](/docs/learn/billing).
