Frequently asked questions
What does this directory cover?
The central bank or supervisory authority for every market in the corridor dataset, the countries each one oversees, and the documents businesses typically need for cross-border payments in those markets.
Why do regulators matter for business payments?
Central banks set the FX regime, licence the rails and define the documentation standards. Understanding what a market’s regulator expects — invoices, registration documents, import paperwork — is what keeps business payments clearing smoothly.
Is this legal or compliance advice?
No — it is reference metadata summarising publicly known supervisory structures. Requirements are route-dependent and confirmed during onboarding and per payment; consult your own advisors for regulatory decisions.
