Postal settlement infrastructure

Atomic settlement
between postal operators

Cross-border postal money settlement takes 30 to 45 days through correspondent banks at 5 to 7% cost. Apostal replaces that with stablecoin infrastructure that settles in seconds.

The broken state of postal settlement

Postal operators worldwide face the same systemic barriers.

30–45 days

Extended settlement cycles

Liquidity constraints from shipment to cash receipt. Exporters finance receivables for weeks — cash trapped in receivables for 30+ days.

5–7%

Transaction cost

Correspondent bank fees, SWIFT charges, FX spreads, and bank margins consume margin on every transfer.

2–3%

Multi-currency exposure

High FX conversion costs, uneven USD liquidity, and reliance on correspondent banking access create persistent friction and risk.

The Apostal Approach

Stablecoin settlement.
Banking-grade controls.

Apostal replaces correspondent banking rails with a stablecoin treasury layer. Postal operators settle net obligations on-chain in seconds, with the same auditability and controls that treasury teams require.

Apostal sits at the settlement layer. Same clearing logic: net positions, issue coins, execute. Final, in seconds. We're building atomic settlement rails — paving the way for programmable value-sharing between postal networks.

  • No correspondent banks
  • No FX exposure
  • No trapped cash
  • No reconciliation overhead
