Settlement

Convert crypto and stablecoins to fiat, and back

XEROF operates as a Swiss crypto brokerage and settlement counterparty, converting stablecoins and other cryptoassets to fiat and back. Tier 1 liquidity passed through at cost, our fee shown separately on every confirmation.

How settlement works

  • Cryptoassets: BTC, ETH, SOL. Stablecoins: USDC, USDT. Fiat: USD, EUR, CHF, GBP.
  • Every quote is sourced from tier 1 institutional liquidity providers and passed through at cost. No spread, no mark-up.
  • The XEROF fee is applied separately and openly on the execution price. Each confirmation shows the liquidity rate, the fee and the net amount.
  • Fiat settles to a bank account in your name over Fedwire, SWIFT, SEPA, CHAPS or Faster Payments. Cryptoassets settle to your segregated wallet or an address you specify.

What is a crypto brokerage?

A crypto brokerage converts cryptoassets and stablecoins to fiat and back for its clients as a counterparty, instead of matching buyers and sellers on an order book. XEROF is a Swiss crypto brokerage and settlement counterparty: FE Swiss Financial AG, a Swiss-regulated Virtual Asset Service Provider and member of VQF (No. 100954), with no order book.

  • Brokerage, not an exchange: XEROF has no order book. Clients execute each conversion themselves in XEROF Online at the live rate from tier 1 liquidity, passed through at cost.
  • Fee on its own line: the XEROF brokerage fee follows the published tiers by monthly volume and is shown separately from the rate on every conversion.
  • Assets and currencies: Bitcoin (BTC), Ethereum (ETH), Solana (SOL), Tether (USDT) and USD Coin (USDC), against USD, EUR, GBP and CHF.
  • Fiat rails: Fedwire, RTP, ACH or SWIFT for USD; SEPA or SWIFT for EUR; Faster Payments, CHAPS or SWIFT for GBP; SWIFT for CHF. Fiat is paid to the client's own account, for example a dedicated IBAN in the company's own name.
  • Segregated custody: one on-chain wallet per client, in the client's name, never pooled, with disaster-recovery cover.
  • Paying third parties: funded only with USDT or USDC on Ethereum (ERC-20), in 60 corridors across 59 countries and 26 currencies, every beneficiary screened. BTC, ETH or SOL are converted to USDT or USDC first.
  • Regulation: a financial intermediary under the Swiss Anti-Money Laundering Act, member of VQF (No. 100954), a self-regulatory organisation recognised by FINMA. Not a bank, takes no deposits. Serving digital-asset clients since 2021 from Zug, Switzerland.
