Finance Director Paying Overseas Suppliers: Stablecoin FX Through an API With a Lower Spread Than the Bank in Brazil

How to check the spread of the Crown FX stablecoin API against the bank's FX spread on supplier payments abroad.

Through the API, Crown FX returns the quote with the whole spread visible before confirmation and executes at the locked price. The stated aim is a spread below the bank’s; Crown publishes no percentage, and the check is done on each remittance quote.

How to check

  1. Pull the Crown FX quote by API and the bank’s FX quote at the same instant, for the same amount.
  2. At the bank, add fees and IOF (up to 3.5%, which does not apply to virtual assets).
  3. Compare total cost in reais.

Why spreads may differ. Crown works with global liquidity providers that deal with it because they trust its compliance processes, and it connects better partnerships to smaller spreads.

Limits. Each operation stays within operating limits, with a documented ceiling of US$ 100,000 per payment operation. Crown gives no tax advice.
