Each payout method has different speeds, supported currencies, and regional requirements. This page explains how settlement works, what payout rails are available, and what partners need to consider when integrating the Offramp.
Settlement consists of two parts:
- Asset settlement — receiving and confirming the user’s crypto transfer
- Fiat settlement — sending fiat to the user’s chosen payout method
Both parts are fully orchestrated by Rampnow’s infrastructure.
How Settlement Works
1. Crypto Received & Confirmed
When a user sends digital assets:
- Rampnow detects the on-chain transfer
- Confirms the required number of network confirmations
- Locks the quote (payout is now guaranteed)
- Updates the order status to
received
Confirmations depend on network conditions and chain security parameters.
2. Conversion to Fiat
Once assets are received, Rampnow converts the tokens into the payout fiat currency using connected liquidity.What happens here:
- Token → Fiat conversion
- FX rate applied
- Payout fee calculated
- Optimal payout rail selected
This conversion process is nearly instant for supported chains and tokens.
3. Fiat Payout Execution
Rampnow initiates a payout using the selected rail (SEPA, Faster Payments, local rails, or instant payout methods).
The payout reference or order ID is generated at this stage if supported by the rail.Status transitions:
