Receivers

People or businesses that will receive payments or stablecoins.

What is a receiver?

A receiver is an individual or business entity designated to receive payouts.

For compliance reasons, every receiver is also considered the originator of the stablecoins. This means that when you create a receiver and initiate a payout from a blockchain wallet, the receiver is deemed the source of the stablecoins.

You can attach multiple bank accounts and blockchain wallets to a receiver.

Compliance and KYC

Every receiver is required to go through a KYC process to verify their identity.
