Common questions

Which stablecoins can fund a payout?
USDT or USDC on Ethereum (ERC-20) only. A transfer on TRC-20, Solana, Polygon or any other network cannot be used to fund a payout, so check the network before you send.
Does the beneficiary in United Arab Emirates need a XEROF account?
No. The beneficiary is paid in UAE dirhams to a bank account in their own name and needs no wallet or account with XEROF.
What does a payout cost?
The brokerage fee on the conversion (1.00% at the entry tier, lower with monthly volume, minimum USD 200 per transaction), plus 0.25% where the fiat goes to a third-party beneficiary, plus the USD 50 fiat withdrawal fee per payment. The Fee Schedule sets out the current terms.
Is there a minimum payout?
There is no minimum ticket. The minimum brokerage fee of USD 200 per transaction applies, so smaller payouts carry a proportionally higher cost; the confirmation shows the fee before you commit.
Who sets the maximum transaction size?
The receiving market. For United Arab Emirates the current maximum is AED 50,000 real time over IPI; no limit before 18:00 UAE time over FTS. XEROF does not add a limit of its own.
Is XEROF an exchange?
No. XEROF is a Swiss-regulated Virtual Asset Service Provider acting as brokerage and settlement counterparty: it converts your stablecoins with its liquidity providers and pays the beneficiary from the proceeds. There is no order book and no platform account for the beneficiary.
How fast is a dirham payout?
Up to AED 50,000 arrives in real time over IPI. Larger payments go over FTS and settle the same day when instructed before 18:00 UAE time; later instructions settle the next business day.
