Sentvia 10 August 2026 · 3 min read ![Sentvia provides a stablecoin payment platform for global businesses](https://cdn.sanity.io/images/00uqjdp8/production/ceb6362d823909311c8639ec05e94b8f13f56f3a-3508x2481.png?rect=0,527,2539,1428&w=1600&h=900&fit=crop&auto=format) A business converts stablecoins to fiat currency by sending the stablecoin to a licensed settlement provider, which checks the payment and pays the equivalent amount into the business's own bank account. Sentvia settles into named accounts in US dollars, euros, pounds sterling and UAE dirhams, with settlement typically the same business day. ## The currencies Sentvia settles today - **US dollars (USD):** wire transfer into a named USD account. - **Euros (EUR):** SEPA transfer into a named EUR account. - **Pounds sterling (GBP):** transfer into a named GBP account. - **UAE dirhams (AED):** local transfer into a named AED account. Each currency uses the local payment network for that currency, so the money arrives the way any other business payment would: as a normal bank transfer, from an account that carries your company's name. ## What changes between currencies and corridors Timing depends on the banking network for that currency and when the payment is sent, not on the stablecoin itself. A payment converted mid-morning on a weekday typically clears faster than one sent late on a Friday, simply because the receiving bank has to be open to process it. The account you receive funds into matters just as much. A named account is opened in your company's own legal name, so a receiving bank can match the sender's details against the account holder without extra checks. Some providers instead pool client funds into one shared account, which is often the real reason a payment gets held for review. ## How the conversion works, step by step 1. Your business agrees a quote for the amount of stablecoin you're converting. 2. You send the stablecoin to the address provided for that transaction. 3. The payment is checked against standard regulatory requirements, including where the funds came from. 4. The equivalent amount is paid into your named account in the currency you chose. ## Terms used on this page - **Stablecoin:** a digital token, such as USDT or USDC, designed to hold a steady value against a currency like the US dollar. - **Named account:** a bank account opened in your company's own legal name, rather than a shared account used for many customers. - **Off-ramp:** the process of converting a stablecoin into ordinary currency in a bank account. ## Frequently asked questions ### Which currencies can my business receive? Sentvia currently settles in US dollars, euros, pounds sterling and UAE dirhams, paid into a named account in your company's name. Other currencies and account types may be added over time. ### How long does a conversion take? Most conversions settle the same business day, depending on the currency's banking hours and when the payment is sent. Weekend and holiday timing varies by currency. ### Do I need to hold a crypto wallet to do this? No. Your business sends the stablecoin for a specific transaction. You don't need to hold a balance yourself, and the fiat side arrives as an ordinary bank payment. ### Can the money go to someone else's account instead of my company's? No. Sentvia pays into your own company's named account only. This protects both parties and avoids the delays that come with third-party payments. ## Related reading - How a supercar dealership accepts USDT for a car: /blog/supercar-dealership-accept-usdt - What a FINTRAC-registered MSB is, and why it matters: /blog/fintrac-registered-msb-explained - How do I convert USDT to USD and receive it in my company's bank account? /blog/convert-usdt-to-usd-business-account - How do I convert USDT to AED for my UAE company? /blog/convert-usdt-to-aed-uae-business - Why won't my stablecoin settlement provider pay a third party? /blog/named-iban-third-party-payments ## Sources - Boston Consulting Group and Allium Labs, January 2026: of roughly 62 trillion US dollars in gross stablecoin transfers in 2025, around 350 to 550 billion dollars represented real economy payments for goods and services. https://www.bcg.com/assets/2026/white-paper-stablecoin-payments-truth-behind-numbers.pdf - Forbes Digital Assets, 27 July 2026: stablecoin supply stood at roughly 300 billion US dollars in July 2026. https://www.forbes.com/sites/digital-assets/2026/07/27/the-stablecoin-market-shrank-for-the-first-time-in-four-years-watch-the-volumes-instead/ ## Talk to us about your payment flows Named IBAN accounts, spot-rate FX, and same-day settlement for global businesses.
